Part 1

Social media

When did you start to use social media?

我的答案

I started using social media back in university, as that was when I got my first smartphone. Since then, it has become an integral part of my daily life, allowing me to stay connected with friends, follow news, and explore topics of personal interest. Social media has really transformed the way I communicate and access information.

interest还是interests

在你这个句子里，用 “personal interest” 更合适。原因如下：

personal interest（单数）指“个人感兴趣的领域或话题”，强调每个人特定的兴趣点或关注方向。你的句子是泛指“探索自己感兴趣的主题”，用单数比较自然。

interests（复数）强调“兴趣的种类或范围”，通常用于列举或者指代多种爱好，比如：I have many interests, including music, sports, and reading.

follow news 关注新闻；跟进新闻动态

Do you think you spend too much time on social media?

我的答案

I wouldn’t say I spend too much time on social media, although I do check it several times a day to stay updated and for entertainment. I try to strike a balance by limiting my usage so that it doesn’t interfere with work or personal development. Overall, I see it as a useful tool as long as it’s used mindfully.

strike a balance 取得平衡、权衡、兼顾

stay updated 保持信息更新、随时了解最新情况

通常指关注新闻、行业动态或某个领域的新信息。

interfere with /ˌɪntəˈfɪə(r)/ 干扰、妨碍、影响（正常进行）

mindfully adv.

意思：有意识地、专注地、谨慎地（带有正念或注意力集中的意思）
用法：强调做某事时有意识地控制自己的行为或态度，而不是随意、漫不经心。

Do your friends use social media?

我的答案

Yes, most of my friends are active on social media and use it to stay in touch, share updates, or discover new ideas. It has become a common way for us to communicate and keep track of each other’s lives, especially since we don’t always meet in person. Social media essentially acts as a bridge between our offline interactions.

be active on social media 在社交媒体上活跃

stay in touch 保持联系

keep track of 了解…的情况 / 跟进…的动态

meet in person 亲自见面

What do people do on social media?

我的答案

People use social media for a variety of purposes, such as connecting with friends, sharing life updates, following current events, or exploring content that matches their interests. Many also use it to learn new skills, participate in communities, or even promote their work or businesses. In essence, social media has become a multifunctional platform that serves both social and informational needs.
