Title: Ali and Sacdiya Talk About Social Media
[Scene: A small café. Ali and Sacdiya are sitting at a table with their phones.]
Ali: Hi Sacdiya! How are you today?
Sacdiya: Hi Ali! I’m good, thank you. And you?
Ali: I’m great! I was just scrolling through Instagram.
Sacdiya: Me too! I scroll all the time. What’s your favorite app?
Ali: I think I like Instagram the most. I post pictures and check my feed every day.
Sacdiya: Same! I just posted a selfie this morning.
Ali: Nice! Did you get many likes?
Sacdiya: Yes, about 50 likes in one hour!
Ali: Wow! Your post is going viral!
Sacdiya: (laughs) Not yet! But I added a funny caption and some hashtags.
Ali: What hashtags did you use?
Sacdiya: #morningvibes #coffee #nofilter
Ali: Cool! I follow pages with funny memes and cat videos.
Sacdiya: Me too! I just shared a meme on my story. Want to see?
Ali: Yes, show me! I love funny content.
Sacdiya: Here it is. I also tagged my friend in the comments.
Ali: Haha, that’s great. I’ll like it and leave a comment too.
Sacdiya: Thanks! Do you use TikTok?
Ali: A little. I mostly watch. I’m not ready to go live yet!
Sacdiya: I’ve gone live once. It was fun but scary!
Ali: What did you do?
Sacdiya: Just talked to my followers and answered questions.
Ali: That’s brave. I only repost videos and share reels.
Sacdiya: Reels are fun! I saved one to try later.
Ali: Do you use filters on your photos?
Sacdiya: Yes, always! I like the one that adds sparkles.
Ali: I need to update my profile picture. Mine is old.
Sacdiya: Take a selfie now! Use portrait mode!
Ali: Good idea. Do you get many DMs?
Sacdiya: Yes, but I only reply to my friends. Some are random people.
Ali: Same. I check my notifications but ignore weird messages.
Sacdiya: Do you post every day?
Ali: No, maybe once a week. I want to stay active but not too much.
Sacdiya: Smart. Sometimes I take a break and log out.
Ali: That’s healthy. Social media can be too much sometimes.
Sacdiya: True! But it’s fun to connect and go viral.
Ali: Let’s do a challenge: no social media for one day.
Sacdiya: Okay! But after I upload one last post today. 😄
Ali: Deal! But I’ll still check your story tomorrow. Just kidding!
[They laugh and enjoy their time together.]
