PASSAGE A

Maria was very excited: her parents were finally going to buy her a cell phone. Most of her friends had already been given a cell phone and were able to talk all the time, even when they weren't in school. Their parents mostly got them for "emergencies." Although, her friends sometimes played games, took selfies, and posted on social media sites. But, all of Maria's friends were very careful with their phones and didn't like to let other people (even Maria) play games or send text messages on their personal phones.

PASSAGE B

We took Maria to the electronics store on Saturday to pick out a phone. Her dad and I were nervous about her now having access to social media at the tip of her finger. We will have to make sure to add safety features. There were so many options to choose from: phones that flipped open, big chunky ones that looked very old, rectangular phones with touch screens, square phones with buttons, heavy phones that had touch screens and buttons. I was nervous for Maria to have a phone and almost told her we would come back later.
