Summative assessment for the 1st term Variant 2
READING
Hello, I am Adam. I am 15 years old. I don’t use many means of communications, just some of them. I have never talked on a landline because we didn’t have any. Only my grandmother has. She used to talk on a landline when I was five. My mother didn’t use to chat on Skype. She started using it because my elder sister moved to another country. I often chat on social media, but recently, I have read an article about how social networking influenced our lives.
With the growth of popularity of social networking, less and less people invite friends to their homes to talk face to face and build a closer relationship with each other. Spending more time chatting on social media inevitably reduces our time spent with families and friends. Even when family members are together, we usually read our phones instead of talking to each other. Social media created three fantasies for us: We will receive attention in any situation; We will always be heard; We will never be alone.
It is important to have more meaningful interactions with friends instead of just liking each other’s posts on social media. We need to go offline and meet friends. The more people interact with each other face to face, the less those people feel lonely. When I begin to feel lonely, I call my closest friends, and we go for a walk. I think It is the best way to communicate.
