Two days ago I read a BBC article about a project which looks at young people's smartphone habits. The BBC asked ten teenagers from a school in Salford, near Manchester, if they ________ take part in a five-day digital detox, swapping their devices for basic phones, which can only send texts and make calls. While locking their smartphones away at the beginning of the project, the school principal commented that it ________ a real challenge. ________ week the journalist interviewed the teenagers and reported the results. He wrote that some students ________ some benefits. Ruby, for example, said she ________ able to speak more to her friends and parents during the week. Grace told the journalist she ________ bad on ________ days. 'It was really peaceful' she ________. The journalist explained that, on the contrary, Charlie ________ out after just 27 hours. In my opinion, ________ piece of news ________ really interesting because it made me think about what I'd do and feel in the same situation.
