Correction Questions De Texte

[Aure_lie]

Bonjour,

Je dois répondre à des questions avec le texte ci dessous. J'aurais besoin d'une correction si possible.

Is it any wonder that people between the ages of 4-50 are increasingly opting for this country? Why wouldn’t they?—they are meeting like-minded new friends and rediscovering long-lost friends they’d long given up hope of ever meeting again. Had it not been for Facebook, the biggest social-networking site, would all this be possible? The new ice-breaker isn’t, ‘So, where do you live?’ any longer; it is, ‘So, are you on Facebook?’

Why are people of all shapes, sizes, and ages flocking to the site? I’ve been wondering, how does this work so well for all? Which are the key ingredients that make the Facebook world tick?

I’m far from the answer but I rather think it is because it’s such wonderful escape hatch from all that is less-than-perfect in real life. I can already hear dissenting voices, “Hey, it is real life, lady!” which is about the one thing that scares me about this perfect life. Having already lured us enough into its “web” of a second life, what if someday soon it becomes our only life? A life where we are content just connecting virtually? A life where we choose to upload only the best and be in denial about the rest?

Maybe Mr. Zuckerberg, the man who gave so many the taste of the perfect life, should think of putting a warning, a sort of reality check: “Not to be taken as an alternative to life—imperfections, disappointments, ugliness, and all” ... ?

They are, after all, what make life, Life.

Donc pour la 8) it should especially alert users of Facebook that all is not perfect in real life, the life is not always easy, she is also made of all kinds of trouble. ??
