TASK 2: SOCIAL MEDIA 2

1. Many people believe that film is a less important art than other forms such as literature and
painting. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
2. Watching TV shows and movies about crime is becoming more and more popular. Why is this?
What effect does that have on society?
3. Nowadays it is not only large studios that are able to make films. Digital filmmaking now enables
anyone to make films. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
4. Because most information about culture and history can be found on the internet today, museums
are not necessary. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
5. Many people say that movies and TV programs affect us negatively while others say that they are
two influential and useful media for us. How do movies and TV affect us?
6. The majority of news being reported is bad news. Why do you think this is? Should bad news be
banned?
7. People in the lime light should be responsible to set a good example for others by their good
behavior. Do you agree or disagree?
8. These days, mobile phones and the internet are very important to the ways in which people relate
to one another socially. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
9. Some people believe that smartphones are destroying social interaction today. To what extent do
you agree or disagree?
10. Films and computer games which contain violence are very popular. Some people believe they
have a negative effect on society and so should be banned. Other people, however, say they are
just harmless and help people to relax. Discuss both these points of view and give your own
opinion.
11. Many people join distance‐learning programs (study material, post, TV, Internet) and study at
home, but some people think that it cannot bring the same benefit as attending colleges or
universities does. Do you agree or disagree?
12. Some people think that being able to communicate with others online is breaking down
geographical barriers and enabling people, who would normally never have the chance to meet, to
communicate. What are the advantages of international communication online? Are there any
disadvantages to this?
