Are the following sentences correct?

Hi everybody! Can someone help me with the following sentences?

- "Nowadays I think we can no longer blame television for the lack of communication among people" (I know that it's "blame on someone for something", but I don't know how to say this sentence correct) <em>It can be said: We cannot blame it on TV anymore.</em>

- "What happened to all of us was that we met friends to have a drink and observed how everybody was paying attention to their cell phones." <em>There might be other ways of course.</em>

-" It all depends on how you use it." Or it all has to with how you make use of it.

- "I recognize that I don't have a close relationship with my dad. However, it's when we watch the news together that we find a topic to talk about and we are able to establish communication more than any other time of the day."

Thank you in advance :)

I'm sure native speakers will be able to help you more but I couldn't resist sharing my suggestions :)

I totally agree with you. The most common excuse of my students is 'I don't have enough vocabulary and I feel insecure while speaking.' So I also suggest them to do what they love like listening to songs, playing fun games and speaking with someone in English. I think we need to avoid feeling bad and frustrated while struggling at first. It'll be faster to learn a foreign language if we keep trying.
