Finding Friends

It is sometimes hard to live in a big city. There are a lot of people, but they are all busy and it is often
hard to make friends.

That is why social meet-up websites are so popular! These websites show different events in the city.
There are soccer games, dance classes, and trips to the movies. You sign up for an event online and
then go and meet other people at the event. It is a great way to make friends and find people in your
neighborhood who like the same things.

Go online and see what is on in your city and who you can meet!

clothes, and sports equipment. You can buy a lot of things!

Many people shop online using their smartphones, tablets, or laptops. You buy what you need, and it
comes to your house. You don’t need to go to a store.
