-What do you use it for?

T:

A social networking site is a website where individuals can set up an online profile, including personal information, and add links to other profiles. Social networking sites allow users to communicate with friends or other users and share with them ideas, activities, events and interests. Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are the most popular SN sites worldwide. Facebook is a great tool for keeping in touch with friends through private or public messages. Additionally, users can join common invest user groups. MySpace is popular with individuals who are into music and with music groups, who can post their songs on their profile pages and advertise their tour dates. Twitter enables its users to send and read messages called tweets.

2. Reading and understanding of the text.

Read the texts A-D. What is each person’s opinion about SN sites? Is it positive, negative or both?

1.  Tanya, 16

I spend a lot of my free time on SN sites.

They’re great for keeping in touch with my mates and finding old friends, too. The other day, I found a school friend from primary school. I was so pleased to hear her news.

SN sites are also useful for helping people out. I saw on a friend’s page that one of his friends needed a driving instructor. My uncle is a driving instructor and he’s on the same SN site. I introduced them and they were both happy. My parents complain that playing online games with friends is a waste of time, but I totally disagree. You see, I’m really into trivia games, but also word games and chess, which I find amusing and educational. So, I can’t see any drawback there.

2. Adrian, 16

I don’t think SN sites are for me. I really don’t like having too much information about myself out there on the web. I mean, anyone could find my e-mail and start sending me spam or viruses. There’s also cyberbullying which can be very nasty. A friend of mine had to stop using an SN site last month because someone was constantly saying horrible things about her. Also, someone could pretend to be you and commit crimes. Imagine that!

3. Ronnie, 15

I’m not a big SN site user to be honest. I can’t understand why people have to update their status all the time. I don’t want to know what someone is buying at the supermarket, or how long they’ve been waiting in traffic. What do I care? But I find it useful for events. We’re putting on a school play at the end of the year, and using an SN site makes it a lot easier. We’re organising the tickets these days. It really helps. We’ve got our own page to advertise the school play, and when it’s over we’ll upload photos and videos of the highlights.

4. Emma, 14

I’m a member of an SN site but I’m thinking about deactivating it. For one thing, it’s taking up too much of my time. I play virtual games, chat with loads of people and I have hundreds of friends. The more time I spend on SN sites, the less time I have for my real life. I think the final straw is my mum. She is a member of the same SN site as me and I made the mistake of making her one of my friends. She hasn’t lost touch with her old school mates and she really enjoys being online. But now she tends to follow my every move. It’s so embarrassing! I can’t do anything without her knowing.

S: Tanya: positive

Tanya focuses on all the benefits of being a member of a social networking site. She feels that it is a good way to entertain and educate oneself, create and maintain friendships and help other people out.

S: Adrian: negative

Adrian mentions drawbacks such as the sending of viruses to a person's e-mail, cyberbullying and identity theft.

S: Ronnie: positive and negative

Ronnie has mixed feelings about SN sites. He can see their usefulness when organising events but cannot see why people use them to keep other people informed about the irrelevant details of their lives.

 S:  Emma: negative

Emma mentions some positive aspects such as the fact that she has a lot of friends and chats to a lot of people but she seems to have had enough of being a member of an SN site. She complains of having very little time for her real life and not having enough privacy. Her negative opinion is clear in that she plans

to deactivate the SN site of which she is a member.
