2021年5-8月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 12 Social network 社交网络

1. How often do you use social networking applications (like Weibo, Twitter or Facebook)?
Well, I spend too much time on social media. I can waste hours just scrolling on my phone. I probably
look at WeChat moments the most because I just like staying up to date with my friends.

2. Why do you use social networking apps?
I use them to stay up to date with my friends’ lives. Nowadays, everyone posts about what they’re doing online. Yo u can see important events in people’s lives on social media. It’s pretty cool.

3. What are the disadvantages of social networking apps?
A big disadvantage is a lack of privacy. Almost all the social networking apps have your personal information, like your birthday and email address. Plus, tons of people post updates about their lives online. So strangers can learn your private information. Some bad people might scam you.

4. Do you think you will use more of those social networking apps?
I use social networking apps a lot. So I would be open to using more of them. I just like staying connected with people. Everyone uses social media nowadays. So it wouldn’t be that bad to use them a bit more.

5. Do you think it is an easy way to make friends through social media?
I don’t think it’s easy. There’s a lot of wrong information on the internet. You can’t always tell if someone’s profile on a social network is real or not. Plus, I think it’s easier to befriend someone when you see them in person.
