Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #43898 Medium Colombia
Instructions ›
You will see a video where an Australian student discusses the impact of social media on personal interactions. Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Perhaps even more importantly, as an Australian student, social media allows me to effortlessly stay in contact with my friends and family around the world. More importantly, still, social media acts as a positive implication for many people living in developing countries, and some of the world's largest social media companies are at the heart of these positive changes. Facebooksinternet.org, for example, has given Internet access to over 25 million people around the world who have been able to reap the many benefits that the Internet provides. These people live in countries ranging from Kenya to Colombia, and the programme is only in its first two years. Social media gives a voice to the people. It allows us to fight for what we believe in. It keeps people safe and it allows us to create a movement in the name of what we think is right. But the fact of the matter is that the motion put before the House tonight is not about the benefits of social media. It is not about whether or not the Internet is good or bad. The motion put before us tonight is about the impact that social media can have on our interactions on our relationships and on each and every one of our lives on a deeply personal level.
