How often do you use social media? {#p1-d393f94b0d} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > I use social media every day, typically in the evening after work. I spend about 30 minutes to an hour checking updates, replying to messages, and interacting with posts from friends and family. I enjoy staying connected, but I make sure it doesn't dominate my day. I often browse platforms like Instagram for entertainment and LinkedIn for professional networking. However, I try to limit my screen time so that it doesn't interfere with my personal life or productivity. ::: ### 2. What social media platforms do you like to use the most? {#p1-0b7bfe40bd} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > I primarily use Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Instagram is my go-to for casual browsing and staying updated on friends' lives. LinkedIn, on the other hand, is crucial for my professional growth, as I connect with industry peers and follow relevant business trends. I use Twitter occasionally for news updates and opinions on current events. Each platform serves a different purpose, and I find it helps me maintain a balanced connection to both my personal and professional world. ::: ### 3. Do you think social media is good for building relationships? {#p1-e5a606ea71} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > Social media can be beneficial for building relationships, especially for maintaining long-distance connections. It allows me to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away, sharing life updates and staying emotionally connected. However, I do believe that real, face-to-face interactions are still essential for deepening relationships. Social media is a great supplement, but it can't replace the meaningful communication that happens in person. ::: ### 4. Has social media changed the way people communicate? {#p1-b7bea5394c} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > Yes, social media has significantly transformed communication. It allows people to connect instantly across the globe, making communication faster and more accessible. However, I feel that it has also led to more shallow exchanges, as conversations tend to be brief and sometimes lack depth. Despite that, it has created new ways to express oneself, especially through photos and videos. It's a double-edged sword, in my opinion—enhancing connectivity but sometimes reducing the quality of communication. ::: ## Part 2 · 讲一段完整经历 {#speaking-part-2} ### 1. Describe a time when you used social media to connect with someone. {#p2-a0ed420aff} You should say: * Who you connected with * Which platform you used * Why you used social media to connect with them * And explain how you felt about the experience. ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > A few months ago, I used LinkedIn to reconnect with an old colleague from university. We had lost touch after graduation, but I came across her profile while browsing my connections. I sent her a message, and we quickly resumed our conversation. We exchanged updates on our career paths, and it felt great to catch up after so long. The reason I chose LinkedIn is because it's a professional platform, and I knew she'd appreciate receiving a message there rather than through a more casual platform like Facebook. I felt really pleased with how easily social media allowed us to reconnect and rekindle our professional relationship. It reminded me how social media can be a great tool for maintaining both personal and professional networks. We even made plans to meet up in person, which shows how social media can lead to real-life connections as well. ::: ## Part 3 · 从个人走向讨论 {#speaking-part-3} ### 1. Do you think social media has a positive or negative influence on society? {#p3-26d900e088} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > Social media has both positive and negative effects on society. On the positive side, it fosters communication and global awareness, enabling people to share ideas and connect with others around the world. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it became a crucial tool for people to stay informed and connected. On the negative side, it can contribute to social isolation, mental health issues, and the spread of misinformation. The key lies in how individuals choose to use these platforms. If used responsibly, social media can be a force for good; however, excessive or unchecked use can have detrimental effects. Ultimately, society must find a balance between embracing the advantages and addressing the drawbacks. ::: ### 2. How do you think social media will change in the future? {#p3-5c2af423fa} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > Social media will likely evolve to become even more integrated into our daily lives, perhaps through augmented reality or virtual reality platforms. We may see more immersive experiences where users can interact in real-time, as if they were physically present with each other. With advancements in AI and machine learning, social media platforms will likely become more personalized, offering tailored content and advertisements based on individual behaviors. While this could lead to greater convenience and engagement, it might also raise concerns about privacy and data security. I believe that the future of social media will be shaped by both technological innovation and the evolving needs of users, creating new ways for people to connect while presenting new challenges to manage. ::: ### 3. In what ways can social media affect people's mental health? {#p3-8cc22e2e9e} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > Social media can have both positive and negative effects on mental health. On one hand, it allows people to connect with others, share experiences, and find communities of support, especially for those dealing with loneliness or mental health challenges. On the other hand, it can contribute to anxiety and depression, particularly due to constant comparisons with others or the pressure to present a curated, idealized version of one's life. Studies have shown that social media usage can lead to lower self-esteem, especially among young people who are more vulnerable to online criticism or unrealistic beauty standards. It's important to use social media mindfully and set boundaries to protect mental well-being. ::: ### 4. Do you believe that social media should be regulated more strictly? {#p3-26a332e9e9} ::: details 参考回答 · 先开口再展开 > Yes, I believe there should be stricter regulations on social media platforms. While freedom of speech is important, social media has become a breeding ground for harmful content such as cyberbullying, hate speech, and misinformation. Stricter regulations could help ensure that platforms take more responsibility for the content shared and create safer environments for users. For example, platforms could implement more effective algorithms to detect harmful content or improve transparency in how data is used. However, any regulation should be balanced to avoid infringing on users' right to express themselves freely. The challenge will be finding that balance while maintaining the integrity of social media platforms. ::: 02 / AFTER THE EXAM带着卡点，回来学先选最需要修补的一题。回看上方示范，按需使用逐句朗读、双向翻译与逻辑链，再脱稿重说。 ::: details 我的材料卡与表达支架 · 有需要再打开 ### 准备一张自己的材料卡 你使用社交媒体的一个真实场景，以及如何设边界。 用三个关键词记住 **一个身边的例子 → 它改变了什么 → 优势、风险与条件**。同一经历可以用于相关题，但每次都要回应当下的题目。针对练习区可以保存你的关键词。 ### 表达支架 * **It has made it easier to…** 它让……变得更容易。 说清技术或变化带来的行动。 * **Unlike in the past,…** 与过去不同…… 提出一项可解释的变化。 * **There is a balance to be struck between… and…** 需要在……与……之间取得平衡。 先讲两边的理由，再提出条件。 这些是本站提供的表达支架，可按意思调整；原文示范在各题下按需展开。先用已掌握的语言说清楚，再增加表达范围。 ::: ::: details English coaching notes · 原材料的话题提醒 * Develop a relevant answer with a reason or a concrete detail.
