     Nicole，a 16-year-old from San Diego，told the Guardian that she used it to stay connected with friends.She said "TikTok has allowed people from different parts of the world to connect in ways I didn't think were possible".
     Many young TikTok users have been working to save the platform.
     Sofia Lee，a high school junior living in Texas，told Global Times that everyone should question whether TikTok really had something to do with the "safety" problem.
     She planned to speak out against the "childish attack" on TikTok，which she regards as a platform that's helping bring together teenagers and is creating a new online culture. "TikTok is here to stay，and teens will go out of their way to use it，" she said.

• 5．

  A .Join or start a writing group. B.Read everything you can. C.Write every day. D.Keep a notebook. E.Stay active. F.Do your homework

  What are some tips on becoming a writer？
     （1）

  
     Most writers read whatever books they can find because they love to lose themselves in them.They like the sounds of language and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as winning a baseball game or eating a banana split.
     （2）

  
     It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not write it down immediately.If you get in the habit of carrying
  a notebook with you everywhere you go，you can write down anything you want to remember.When you are
  talking to friends in the cafe or waiting for the bus，something might spark an idea for a character or a scene
  in a story.
     （3）

  
     Nearly all writers agree that writers must wrjye.aie.It doesn't matter if you feel like you have nothing to say；
  The important thing is that you write every single day.Sometimes，you need to give yourself permission to
  write things which won't be your best work.
     （4）

  
     Do you have any friends who enjoy writing？Think about starting a writing group with other people who
  have similar interests.It helps to have the support of other writers，You will also receive valuable feedback，or suggestions，about how to make your work better.
     （5）

  
     If you decide that you would like to send your work for publication，make sure to do your research.If
  you are sending your writing to a magazine，look through old ones.Does it seem like your writing fits in with the other stories or articles？That is the homework for you after writing.
