Good evening María,
As usual first the listening and then the answers.
Do you suffer from Facebook depression? This is breaking news English top come.
A new study, suggests that social media sites had created a new phenomenon known as Facebook depression. The American Academy of Paediatrics, recently warned parents about the possible dangers of networking websites, on their children’s mental health.
Report co-author ( ) O’Keeffe described the web social interaction is changing. For some teens and ( ) social media is the primary way they interact socially, rather than at the (mall) or a friend’s house, she said.
Ms. O’Keeffe added: a large part of this generation’s social and emotional development is occurring while on the Internet and on cell-phones.
Parents need to understand these technologies so they can relate to their children’s online world. And comfortably parents in that world.
The reports say it is essential for parents, to be aware of house social media sites can affect children; and that the Internet is not always a healthy environment for kids.
The writers also urged parents to be on the look out for side the (bullying), ( ) and online ( ).
They recommended parents take an active role and discuss things like (bullying), privacy and feeling down; because of what’s happening on Facebook.
A recent poll stated, that 22 per cent of teenagers, log on to a social media site more than 10 times a day; and more than half, at least, once a day.
There are conflicting report as to ( ) Facebook helps youngsters, by allowing them to express themselves, or isolate them from society.
My answers are:
1. Do you suffer depression?
2. Mental health
3. Internet and on cell-phones
4. Online world
5. Healthy environment
6. Bullying
7. 22 per cent
8. Allowing
Uuuuufffff it’s the first time that in a listening I had to look forward a lot of words in the dictionary and many of them are impossible to understand and I couldn’t find them to understand the listening when I read it. May be there are American words like cell-phones, I don’t really know it.
Greetings and happy Easter holidays to you too
