One of the world's most popular foods is pizza. Eaten on every continent, this international favorite can be a very simple handheld dish of cheese on top of baked dough, all the way up to a mouth-watering feast that requires a knife and fork. Some of the most popular toppings include melted cheese, pepperoni or sausage, and assorted vegetables. Most pizzas consist of a round piece of dough that has been flattened out and baked until done. The gooey cheese is usually the next layer since it holds all of the toppings in place. Spicy red peppers, garlic, and herbs like basil or oregano are also very common ways to "spice" up this dish. From the simple melted cheese of a pizza margherita to the overloaded quattro stagioni, also known as the "four seasons pizza", there's no end to the ways a hungry fan can make this dish his or her own. 5.

Using a smartphone is so easy that almost anyone can do it. Most phones have only a few buttons now. One of the buttons actually powers on the device, while the other one can be used for "waking" the phone, returning to the home screen, and even taking pictures. Once you've turned on your smartphone, you'll probably need to enter a password. This keeps outsiders from accessing your stored information and apps. After you've unlocked your phone, slide your finger across the face to get to different screens. This lets you choose which app you want to use. If you need to download an app, you'll need to look for you app stores' icon and tap it or select it from the phone's menu. Simply type the name of the app or the kind of app you'd like to see, and then download the app to your phone. Many apps are free, but some require you to enter a payment method. 6.

Some experts have begun questioning whether or not kids today get too much screen time, largely as a result of owning smartphones. They worry that children and teenagers are spending too much time interacting with inappropriate content, encountering predators or cyberbullies, or simply shutting others out and not forming genuine face-to-face friendships. One way that parents have begun to correct this problem is by having screen-free time. This is important for the health and well-being of all consumers, not just kids. A screen-free time might be a daily or weekly family meal in which no devices come to the table, a game night in which the family "unplugs" and enjoys a board game, or just some time set aside to really talk and listen to each other. Hopefully, this time away from smartphones and screens can help people feel more confident and connected, as well as give families some time together. 7. What text structure is being used?

The word "smartphone" was coined to describe handheld devices that could do so much more than just make phone calls or send text messages. Old-fashioned cellular phones could only be used for calling, but even that was considered advanced technology for its time. The ability to text was then invented, but the sender had to push the buttons on the keypad repeatedly to spell out the message. Eventually, users could snap very blurry photos with their old phones, but sending the photos required so much data that it was very costly. Now, smartphones have touch-screen interactive keyboards, the ability to take and send pictures instantly, and even the capability of surfing the internet, sending emails, reading eBooks, and listening to music. Smartphones also have apps, which older cellular phones didn't have, and these apps give devices even more functions and capabilities. One of the biggest differences in older phones and smartphones, of course, is the size, with some smartphones being almost twice as big as older phones. 8. What text structure is being used?
