Uud :”Okay. Let’s try to text your mother by using WhatsApp.”
Iin :”Thank you so much, Uud. My mother said that she’ll go and arrive in our
school for about 15 minutes.”
Uud : “Would you like me to accompany you here?”
Iin : “That’s very kind of you. By the way, what do you think about social
media?”
Uud : “In my opinion, social media is such a massive part of all our lives now
because social media can help us to make and keep friends. Social
media can act as a kind of group therapy session. Do you know what I
mean?”
Iin : “According to me, group therapy session is the place that we’re sharing
our lives, the ups and downs, the twist and turns with people we think
will care. They will listen to what we have to say, and help us deal with
any problems we may be facing. If this isn’t the case then you may want
to find new friends. The point is that by all of us sharing our
experiences, both good and bad, on social media sites, we’re able to
empathize with each other, right?”
Uud : “Yes, right. I think so. Social media sites is also offer a chance to
communicate in a speedy and efficient manner. It allow us to live a
life unhindered by small talk. Social media sites have made the world a
smaller place. And then some. It isn’t just your inner circle of close
friends and even closer family members that social networking sites
allow you to communicate easily and effectively, either. They open
the world up to you, making it a smaller place than it has ever been before”
Iin : “Okay, okay. “
Uud : “Then, how about its negative effect? Do you think it has no negative
effect?”
Iin : “No, social media has negative effects. I consider that one of the
negative effect of social media or network is it leads to addiction.
Spending countless hours on the social sites can divert the focus and
attention from a particular task. It lowers the motivational level of the
people, especially of the teenagers and students. They mainly rely on
technology and the internet instead of learning the practical knowledge
and expertise of the everyday life.” (giving opinion)
Uud : “Hm, I agree with your opinion. Another downside of the social media is
that the user shares too much information which may pose threats to
them. Even with the tight security settings your personal information
may leak on the social sites. Downloading your videos or pictures and
copying your status is an easy task and can be done within few clicks.”
Iin : “Yes right. By the way, my mother is waiting for me over there.”
Uud : “Oh okay. Let’s continue our conversation next time!”
Iin : “Okay. Thank you so much, Uud. See you tomorrow!”
Uud : “See you. Be careful”
