The Right Place

غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا بْتِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس بِيشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمِّة بَس.
وهَاد الشِي بْيِعْكِس صُورَة مِثَالِيِّة لحَيَاة بَعْض النَاس اللي هي عَكْس الصُورَة الحَقِيقِية.
بَس كَمَان هَالشِي بِسَبِّب ضَغْط عَالِي على هَدُول الأَشْخَاص لأنو لازم يِطْلَعُوا دَائِمًا بِصُورَة مِثَالِيِّة.
بِالمُقَابِل, فِي أَشْخَاص تَانِيين بِيقَارْنُوا حَيَاتْهُم مَع حَيَاة هَدُول الأَشْخَاص. 
بَس لِلْأَسَف هَي المُقَارَنِة ممكن تْأَدِّي للشُعُور بِالإِكْتِئَاب.
لازم نِتْزَكَّر دَائِمًا إِنُّو الأشياء اللي مِنْشُوفْهَا على السوشال ميديا ما بِتْكُون الصُورَة الكَامْلِة, وكِل إِنْسَان عِنْدُو مَشَاكِل بِالحَيَاة والحَيَاة المَثَالِيِّة مَا مَوجُودِة!
Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, there are other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we see on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.

Active & Passive Voice

Today's phrase is "to be rigged" which means something has been set up to operate in some kind of unfair way. 

Today's phrase is to be rigged. Now when something is rigged, it is believed that it's operated using some kind of dishonest behaviour to promote a desired outcome. Now, let me just give you some examples to show you what I mean:

So, if we say, for example, 

The job vacancy has been advertised in the newspaper but I believe it's been rigged. We all know who's going to win.

 The football match was definitely rigged. I don't think the football players were playing in their usual way today. 

The competition to win a holiday in the local newspaper has been won by an employee of that newspaper. That was definitely rigged.
