4. C 5. C

Script:

Being a teenager, I face a considerable amount of pressure from my parents, schoolwork and even my friends. In this day and age where a majority of teenagers use social media, I also have to face pressure from the online community. Teenagers like me suffer from increased stress because they try to copy the seemingly perfect life portrayed on social media. Plus, spending time more frequently on social media also makes me delay other important tasks.

These negative impacts of social media are not new to me, but they became clearer following my summer break in the countryside. After three months in my grandparents’ hometown with limited internet access, I realised how bad social media was for my mental health. Without social media, I felt happier, I had more leisure time, and I spent more time outdoors helping my grandfather with gardening. When I got back to school, I decided to decrease my time spent on the internet and quit social media.

TASK 2

1. new hobby 2. origami 3. (very) enjoyable

4. benefits 5. harvest

Script:

Mom: What are you doing, Brian?

Brian: I’m browsing some online videos. I’m interested in folding an origami bird.

Mom: Origami? Is that a new hobby of yours?

Brian: Yes. I’m just getting started on a few basic models. Folding origami is very enjoyable and helps me relieve stress after a long day at school.

Mom: I think it’s a great way to spend your leisure time. I read on the internet that it brings many benefits – it can boost your focus and develop creativity.

Brian: That’s right, Mom. How did you spend your leisure time when you were my age?

Mom: There were no computers or smartphones, so I spent most of my free time outdoors.

Brian: It was great, wasn’t it? Which game did you play?

Mom: My friends and I flew kites and played hide and seek. During the harvest season, I spent time more frequently in the paddy field as I had to bring food and water to your grandfather and his workers.

Brian: Your childhood was so different from mine…
