Moderator③
Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox, Brenton High's fundraising④ campaign for new sports equipment⑤.At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days.This meant no messaging friends, no posting⑥ photos, no blogging — nothing.They had been promised money by family and friends for each day [1]spent without using social media.They were excited.They were nervous.But could they do it?
[1]过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词each day。
[2]With the detox now finished, they've switched⑦ on their devices and they're back online.I bet⑧ you're as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated⑨ enough to last the full seven days! And what, if anything⑩， has been learnt from the experience?
[2]With the detox now finished为with复合结构，过去分词finished作宾语补足语。
