Đáp án
A: There's more cyberbullying than before.
B: I agree with you, A. The anonymity afforded by online platforms emboldens people to say hurtful things they might not say face-to-face. It's concerning how easily individuals can hide behind screens and inflict emotional harm on others.
A: There's more gossip than before.
B: Absolutely, A. Social media has amplified the spread of gossip exponentially. With the click of a button, personal details and rumors can reach a global audience, causing unnecessary drama and harm to individuals' reputations.
A: You can get better news than before.
B: Actually, A, I disagree. While social media offers a vast array of information, the credibility of many news sources on these platforms is questionable. Unlike traditional newspapers, which uphold journalistic standards and fact-checking, social media news sites often prioritize sensationalism over accuracy.
A: People don't have as much self-esteem.
B: I agree with you, A. Negative comments and comparisons on social media can significantly impact individuals' self-esteem. The pressure to maintain a perfect online image and the fear of judgment from others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and embarrassment. It's crucial to promote positivity and support on social media platforms to combat this issue.

B: Definitely. And it's not just about protecting our own privacy; it's also about the security of our data and how it's being used by these platforms and third-party companies.

Đưa ra lý do cho ý kiến của bạn.
Đáp án
A: "It's easier to meet people with common interests on social media than in person."
B: I'd agree with that, to an extent. Social media definitely opens up a lot of opportunities to connect with people who share similar interests. You can join groups, follow hashtags, and engage in discussions with people from all over the world who are into the same things you are. It's a lot easier than trying to find those same people in your local area or through traditional means like clubs or events.
b. Join another pair. What other impacts of social media are there? Do you all agree? Tham gia một cặp khác. Có những tác động nào khác của phương tiện truyền thông xã hội? Tất cả các bạn có đồng ý không?

Privacy concerns and the spread of misinformation are also significant impacts that need to be addressed. Do you all agree with these points?
c. Do you think social media's impact is positive or negative? Why? Bạn nghĩ tác động của mạng xã hội là tích cực hay tiêu cực? Tại sao?
