1. Favorites
When you are at "Home" in Twitter, You can see your post and posts from others you are following. In this screenshot, I clicked the star shaped icon on the bottom of the picture. By clicking it, You are favoriting this post. Favoriting a tweet can let the original poser know that you liked their tweet, or you can save the tweet for later.
2. Retweet
You can click on retweet icon to retweet the post. A retweet is a re-posting of someone else's tweet. Twitter's retweet feature helps you and others quickly share that tweet with all of your followers. By retweeting, you can share more things with more people. In this screenshot, I retweeted a picture above, it is indicated that this picture was retweeted for 135 times already.
3. Suggestions to follow
In this screenshot, it shows the list of accounts twitter recommends to follow. The suggestions on Twitter are based on many factors, including your email, phone contacts, or the patterns from your following history. This helps to easily find others whom you might be interested in following.
