1. What roles do social networking and the Internet play in your daily life?
What do you use them for?
2. How many online friends do you have? Do social networking and the Internet
help improve your relationships with others? Give some examples.
Social networking and the Internet play an important part in my daily life. I chat with friends and watch videos.
I have more than 300 online friends. I think that social networking and the Internet help improve my relationships with my friends. For example, one of my best friends went abroad when I was in junior secondary school. The only way that I can contact her is the Internet. I always chat with her and we talk about our lives with each other.
Discuss the following questions with your partners.
