22 Read the speech bubbles of Martin and Emma and write true (T) or false (F).

I spend too much
time online. I’m a real fan of Mr Heable who is
a famous vlogger on YouTube. As soon as I wake up, I take my tablet
to see his new videos. In his recent video, he went into a fancy clothes shop and
put on a different outfit. When he came out of the shop, he was transported to a world
that corresponded with the outfit he was wearing. That was amazing. He must have
used a professional program to shoot that scene. I really enjoyed the video
because there was a nice sense of innocense and adventure in it.
Mr Heable makes my day.
I try not to use
social media more than two hours a day. If
I don’t set my boundary, I’m sure I can spend my whole day
online. There is only one Instagram account that I follow regularly. A nice
young lady in her early thirties, named Daisy, demonstrates how to make toys or
ornaments out of everyday household objects, which is really catchy. She sometimes
shares short documentary trips to various places of interest. She also hosts people
who are talented on different subjects. She lets them do live performances.
The person who gets the most likes gets the badge, literally a badge
of honour. It is always nice to see her sharings.

23 Look at the dialog about social media and circle the correct sentences.

Tom In my opinion, Facebook is a great way to catch up on with everyone’s news.
Kate Exactly, you’re right./I’m afraid I disagree with you. You can keep in touch with people and
hear about their real-life events.
David I totally agree with you./I don’t think so. People become more public and open about their
personal lives. There is no privacy at all.

Work in groups of three. Prepare a similar dialog as in Part 22 using the expressions below.
