A. Listening and Speaking
Digital literacy involves more than just understanding how to utilize technology; it also
involves the ability to successfully navigate the world that has been enriched by technology.
This could be in your social, cultural, educational, or professional life. Being digitally literate is
about realizing your capacity to move fluidly across platforms and applications using the
digital talents you've picked up in one setting. All you have to do is lay a strong foundation
before attempting to improve your digital footprint.
In this era of digital technology, social media platforms have a larger role to play in
circulating fake news. Studies found that fake news spreads faster than true news on
social media due to the users’ social media habits. As a user, manage your social media
responsibly.
Listen to a monolog about fake news.

 Besides to share and spread news, social media platforms are also used as
medium to have a conversation and express opinions on issues. There are
several ways to ask for and express opinions.

There are many options to express our opinions based on the situations. Op
inions can be expressed both in writing and spoken form, either in formal or
informal situations.

When engaging in a discussion with friends, you may have different opinion with
them. Sometimes, an argument happens. Everyone can argue, but not everyone
can argue well. Like other skills, making arguments can be trained and practiced.
Here are ways to make a better argument.

1. Understand the opposing points of view. You can’t make a good argument if you couldn’t
understand why the opposing side thinks you’re wrong. After all, the goal of arguing is to
better understand the issue at hand. This tip is done through listening carefully. You have to
listen to your opponents’ points, understand, retain, and all it back as a useful information.
2. Keep it simple. All good idea starts from a simple idea. A simple but powerful idea will bring
readers to your point, convincing them into agreeing with your points.

3. Avoid logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is a kind of flaw that makes your point weak. Some
fallacies are easy to spot on, while the others are a little bit difficult to detect. One example
of fallacy is attacking personal instead of addressing the arguments.

 The most important and, perhaps should first be considered is to
decide if the argument is worth to be debated. An argument is worth
the shot if both parties are equally respectful and wanting to dive deep
into the issues. Meanwhile, when facing arguments with insincere
motivation, like those which end in misunderstanding and conflict, it’s
probably best to avoid them altogether.

B. Reading and Presenting
In professional settings, there is a greater need for digital literacy. When you start
working professionally, being digitally literate is a must. Without sufficient digital
literacy skill, it will be very difficult to keep up with the ever-evolving job
requirements.
In your opinion, what does digital literacy have to do with jobs? Have you ever
heard some jobs may disappear in the next 10 years? Do you know what are
they? Why do people think those jobs disappear? Do you agree if digital
literacy will influence your career in the future? Why do you think so?

Social media is a big part of social and creative life for
many pre-teens and teenagers. Pre-teens and teenagers
use social media to have fun, make and maintain
friendships, share and learn interests, explore identities
and develop relationships with family. It’s an extension of
their offline and face-to-face interactions.
For older teenagers especially, it’s often a key
part of how they connect with friends. Social media

groups based on shared interests.

Writing a Good Caption

Instagram is widely used by brands and people as their social media platform. There
are several tips you can use to make a great caption for your goal.

1. Write with purpose. Before writing
your caption, you should decide the
purpose of your caption. Keep two
things in mind: the goal and the
creative direction.

caption has the same purpose.
You can choose short or long
captions, as long as it works to
your purpose.
