Social media is a big part of many teens' lives, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram
or Snapchat. But what impact does social media use have on teens? I believe, social
media allows teens to create online identities, communicate with others and build
social networks. Its helps them to interact across the world and teach them about a
variety of subjects. A wide social network might even help teens avoid depression.
I believe that there are plenty of disadvantages of using social media, it can negatively
affect the teens, disturbing their sleep and teens who post content on social media are
at risk of sharing personal information.
The risks might be related to how much social media teens use. A 2019 study of more
than 6,500 12- to 15-year-olds in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three
hours a day using social media might be at heightened risk for mental health problems.
Another 2019 study of more than 12,000 13- to 16-year-olds in England found that
using social media more than three times a day predicted poor mental health and well-
being in teens. Other studies also have observed links between high levels of social
media use and depression or anxiety symptoms.
I think you can limit some of social media’s negative effects. Encourage a bedtime
routine that avoids electronic media use, and keep cell phones and tablets out of teens'
bedrooms. Let your teen know that you'll be regularly checking his or her social media
accounts. You might aim to do so once a week or more. Discourage your teen from
gossiping online or otherwise.
So we don’t have a choice on whether we should use the social media or not. The
question is how well do we use it. Use social media to show who you are and what you
stand for. Don’t use it to impress people. You are responsible for everything you post
and it will be a reflection of you.
Task 1: For each item, write a short answer (not more than FOUR WORDS).
13. What is the disadvantage of social media according to the writer?
____________________________________________
14- Where was the study for usage of social media between 12-15-year-old held?
_____________________________________________
15-What are the important social media platforms?

_____________________________________________
16-When was the study of social media in England conducted?
_____________________________________________
Task 2: For each item, shade in the bubble next to the correct option.
17-The study in England found that using social media more than three times a day
causes……………. .
great mental health poor mental health no effect
18-Teens who post content on social media are _____ of sharing personal information
safe secured at risk
19-Don’t use _____to impress people.
social medias books mobile phones
20-Parents ______ their teens’ social media accounts
