Part 2&3  A time you saw something interesting on social media答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

Social media is used by almost everyone today. It's incredible really. Perhaps it's even a bit too pervasive and too much part of our lives. People become hooked on social media, checking their friend's wechat moments, following their blogs, looking at their photos, comparing fashions, dinners, what other people have done on the weekend. It's like the modern form of gossip – always being connected to the lives of others and seeing what they’re doing at every moment of each day. It’s really quite incredible on the one hand, and a great way for people to connect, but it's also a bit overwhelming and a bit too much! 


Social media today is used for a lot of promotions, advertising and things like this. People can’t help getting sucked into this world, and so I think pretty everything online is attractive and popular to some segment of society or another. People who are into eating out often following people who are promoting or reviewing restaurants, people who are interested in sports follow those with sporting interests, people who are into fashion spend hours looking at fashion posts, photos and articles. There is something for everybody and every interest. 

I think it's a double-edged sword really. Social utilities are a great way to connect with new people and make friends, but at the same time they are spaces where we can meet total strangers and get sucked into a world of cheaters and scams. One has to be very careful with social media, to be honest, because you can end up getting into personal contact with some very strange people, who have very strange and often bad intentions. People need to learn to be very discerning with social media and be very careful who they talk to and what they talk about, and never share very personal information with complete strangers that we’ve only ever met online.
