Before
Social media has become a major part of students lives, and it effects the way they communicate, study and spend their free time. While social media can be useful for sharing information and staying connected, it can also distract students from their academic responsibilities. Many students check there phones while studying which can make it harder to focus for long periods of time. For this reason, students should learn how to manage their use of social media in a balanced way.
After
Social media has become a major part of students’ lives, influencing how they communicate, study, and spend their free time. While these platforms can help students share information and stay connected, they can also distract them from academic responsibilities. Frequently checking a phone while studying can make sustained focus more difficult. For this reason, students should develop healthier, more balanced social media habits.
What I changed:Grammar, punctuation, clarity, concision, sentence structure, and word choice.
