3. Topic Writing
 Reaction Essay: Topic “Social Life”
The short film about social life has an appealing story that should act as an eye-opener for
everybody who lives their life or lives it online. People today are more concerned with
maintaining a healthy social life than a solid real life.
According to my personal perspective on the short film, certain people, especially those
in our generation, have a tendency to portray their ideal selves on various social media
platforms. They have been searching for a means to get back to themselves after losing
themselves in the world's dreams. We live the life we have always imagined, whether it be
online or in front of a computer, technology, or the internet. We lose sight of our real lives as
a result of the growth of social media. People tend to check it more frequently as it gains
popularity. We place value on our social media presence and work hard to live decent lives,
but these efforts only reflect online; they are not evident in our actual, day-to-day lives. It
examines a new breed of career-focused individuals who are more preoccupied with their
online persona than with actual life. In the end, though, seeing ourselves as we really are is
the worst disappointment since, in the first place, we overlook who we truly are because we
are scared to display it. On the internet, we attempt to present a perfect life, but that's not how
things really are.
This short film proves that although the Internet was created to bring people together,
there are occasions when it may really make you feel more alone. The major message in this
short film is that occasionally you should disconnect from the internet and simply walk out
without checking it or even taking your phone.

 Argumentative Essay: Topic “Is the internet bad for young people?”
Using a computer, phone, or tablet to access the internet is now easier than ever. There is
no denying that plenty of young people are spending an increasing amount of time online,
which has positive and negative effects.
 One advantage of the internet is that it allows young people to conduct research for
academics and assignments. This frequently assists teenagers in broadening their knowledge
and improving their grades. Another advantage of the internet is that it allows people to
practice foreign languages by conversing with friends from other countries. This is also an
excellent way to stay in touch with friends and family all across the world.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. Some young individuals develop an
addiction to online gaming, which can lead to their wasting too much time playing these
games. This can have a negative impact on their schooling, physical activity, and social lives.
Furthermore, excessive internet use might lead to some young people rarely communicating
with their family because they are usually on the computer.
In conclusion, while spending time on the internet can have a harmful impact on young
people, it also offers many benefits. Personally, I believe the internet is a fantastic tool, and
the advantages much exceed the risks. However, we must be cautious not to overuse the
internet.
