Hey Blog! Recently, I have been doing a lot of studies, and so I have some more English to share with you. This is for two reasons: firstly because the prompt was to write a dialogue between a character called Kaito and his grandmother about taking a selfie, while my own grandparents are coming to see us soon; and secondly because Mum annotated at the end of it, \u201cThat\u2019s brilliant! I hope you get that writing prompt in the exam!\u201d which suggests what I did was good. I hope you like it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, Grandma, you tap this button here, see? This one reverses the way the photo\u2019s pointing; it takes one of you, not the door!\u201d Kaito said. \u201cThere, and\u2026 snap, picture taken!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n His grandmother was getting a little flustered. \u201cDeary me, they never used to be so complicated. This one here, you said, darling?\u201d she asked, pressing the button.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A pair of virtual reindeer horns appeared on Kaito\u2019s grandmother\u2019s head on the phone screen. \u201cAhhh! What is it?\u201d she shrieked, a hand patting her head to try and feel the horns. \u201cWhat did it do?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGrandma, that\u2019s the setting which alters your filters. There are hundreds. You could grow a beard\u2026 or wear a fancy hat. Once you\u2019ve taken a selfie, you can edit it. I\u2019ll show you where you can find them on your own phone.\u201d Kaito was eager to help. \u201cWhere is it?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t use it much, love. It\u2019s in that drawer on the sideboard,\u201d Grandma said. \u201cThere, in the case with flowers on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI can\u2019t see a phone, Grandma. All you\u2019ve got is this,\u201d Kaito said, pulling out a Nokia brick. \u201cHow long have you had this? It looks like the dinosaurs used it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s the phone, duck. A bit old these days, but a great comfort when your grandfather was away. I could text him every day on that.\u201d Kaito\u2019s grandmother was evidently surprised by Kaito\u2019s reaction, for she said, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter dear? I thought you knew how to work phones?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis\u2026 isn\u2019t a phone, Grandma,\u201d answered Kaito. \u201cI\u2019m not sure what it is, but there\u2019s no camera on here. It doesn\u2019t even have a search function, no internet whatsoever. All there is are a few funny numbers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThose will be my passcodes, dear. The rest of the Secret Service still used paper, but I was one of the very first who had it digital.\u201d Kaito\u2019s grandmother seemed immensely proud. \u201cWe\u2019d soon live in a Digital World, they said. And I was a pioneer! To think of it. But have you got the photo Apple-cation or what you said working?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou were in the Secret Service, Grandma?!\u201d Kaito exclaimed. \u201cWhen?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot was, dear, but am. They\u2019ve never dismissed me yet,\u201d Kaito\u2019s grandmother continued. \u201cIn fact, they sent a message a few days ago. Wanted me to learn how to take a selfie. Photo evidence, you see. Good way of staying undercover, yet getting the tabs on those you want to watch.\u201d Grandma sighed. \u201cShall we get on with it then, dear?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n N.B. relation to Kaitos, Grandmas, and the Secret Service completely coincidental. No fictional characters in this piece are based on real people, least of all my own grandmother!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Blog!
