Catching up online

2:39

so that I can catch up with friends who live far away

2:39

that I can't actually see in person.

2:41

Mm, yes, I also use it for that.

2:44

Neil, you just used the verb catch up with.

2:47

Can you explain that a bit more, please?

2:49

Yeah. So, if you 'catch up with' someone,

2:52

it means you speak to them,

2:54

you contact them and you find out what they've been doing in their life.

3:00

Find out what activities or what changes in their lives have happened.

3:06

Yeah, when you catch up with someone,

3:08

it brings you up to date with their life

3:10

and what they’ve been doing, since you last saw them.

3:13

So, Georgie, you said you think you use your phone too much for social media.

3:19

Do you have any plans to use your phone less?

3:23

I would love to use my phone less.

3:26

But if I'm being realistic,

3:28

I think I will probably continue using my phone in the same way.

3:33

It’s just too difficult to reduce the screen time, it's so addictive.

3:37

But maybe in the future,

3:39

I will put those limits that your phone can put to help me reduce my screen time.

3:47

Georgie, you used words like 'maybe' and 'probably'

3:53

and we use these when we're 'not sure' or 'not certain'

3:59

if we are going to do something.
