Speaking Part 1 sample

Which social media websites do you use?

I’m a huge fan of social media in general, but most of my time is split between Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. I use Facebook to keep in touch with my friends and to keep up with news. Instagram is my creative outlet. I love uploading my photos there and browsing through my feed for inspiration. And finally, I use Youtube for entertainment mostly but also when I would like to learn something new, there’s probably a video there to help me out.

How much time do you spend on social media sites? [Why/Why not?]

I’m ashamed to admit how much time I spend on social media. I probably spend more time than I should. But it has just become second nature to me, I think. Whenever I’m bored or have an idle moment it’s very simple to simply start flipping through my feeds in search of something without really paying much attention. It’s simple something to keep me busy, I guess.

What kind of information about yourself have you put on social media? [Why/Why not?]

I think like many of my generation you can get to know me pretty well from what I have shared on social media. I post about things that I like, places I eat at, attractions I’ve seen and so much more. I like to think that I keep my feeds well-curated though, it’s not just a random assortment of posts with no heads or tails.

Is there anything you don’t like about social media? [Why/Why not?]

I think social media has turned the idea of “knowledge is power” on its head. We now have access to the biggest pool of knowledge in history and yet people are in a constant battle over who is right and who isn’t and the spread of misinformation does not help much. That’s my biggest problem with social media I would say, just how easy it has become to deceive people.

Describe a website that you use regularly.

You should say about:

- What the website is;

- What it is about;

- Why you like using it;

And tell how it helps you.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of useful websites that I browse on a regular basis, but the one that I like the most and use the most regularly is Youtube, which is a very popular video-sharing network especially among youngsters.

Honestly, I love Youtube for several reasons. The first and most important one is that it has millions of videos of different categories of video makers from various parts of the world which are very entertaining.

Youtube has a diversity of video types, for example discovery, music clips, fashion show,… Whenever I get access to Youtube, there will be many videos displayed on the screen and there are even suggested videos according to my interest so I don’t have to spend much time choosing the video that I like to watch.

Secondly, Youtube can be very educating.

In addition to funny videos for entertainment, there are also many tutorial videos which teach us how to cook different dishes, make up, decorate our house, do handmade stuff or even use hacks for household chores. I have to admit that my life has changed a lot thanks to Youtube as I am a cooking buff and I often spend my free time watching videos about cooking or kitchen hacks and my life is made easier thanks to those hacks.

Though Youtube is convenient and is like an encyclopedia, I don’t think we should spend a huge amount of time watching videos as they can be very addictive and we cannot concentrate on our main work.
