----------------------------------Task 2:
Studies suggest that many teenagers these days prefer socialising online to meeting one
another in person.
Why do you think this is the case?
What measures could be taken to encourage teenagers to spend more time meeting one
another in person?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own
knowledge or experience.
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Many researches show that nowadays, the
young generation love taking their time to
connect with their friends on the cyberspace
such as social networking and rarely see
each other face to face. It seems to be that
young people will be isolated from the world
and less active by the time. To deal with
these problems, I believe that schools and
governments should hold more out-door
activities with rewards to encourage them.
Much research show that the young

with their friends on the cyberspace
nowadays, such as social networking and
discuss rarely each other face to face. It
seems to be that young people will be
isolated from the world and less active by the

and governments should hold more outdoor
activities with rewards as the methods to
motivate them going out.
If a person enjoys their time with social
networking, they will lose the opportunities to
see many people who are anti-social. In fact,
spending time with virtual relationships could
not help them in real life and not improve their
soft skills such as dealing and
communication. For example, children taking
time chatting on the computer may not
develop their body language skills because
lack of practice. Moreover, social media can
cause health problems. The young people
often sit on a chair and use a computer or
phone for a long time, which can make them
come to be lazy to do exercises and affect
their eyes as well.
Firstly, if people enjoy their time with social
networking, they will lose the opportunities to
see many people who are anti-social. In fact,
spending time with virtual relationships could
not help them in real life and not improve their
soft skills such as dealing and
communication. For example, people taking
time for chatting on the computer may not
develop their body language skills because
lack of practice in cases. Moreover, social
media can cause health problems for them
who often sit on a chair and use a computer
or phone for a long time. Clearly, it can make
them come to be lazy to do exercises and
affect their eyes as well.
To solve these problems, governments and
schools can hold more outdoor activities and
give awards or certificates for the young
generation. For example, the government
could organize running competitions with
prizes for winners and scholarships. If the
young people join this contest, they will
receive points for their physical subject at
schools and have opportunities to get
awards. Furthermore, teachers can give them
study cases homework and require them to
go out and meet their team. For instance, the
task can be doing a survey in supermarkets
or coffee shops in rush hours and working
with their team to do reports.
Secondly, the governments and educational
institutions should inspire the young people
with outdoor activities and awards. By joining,
they will receive points for their physical
subject at schools and have great
opportunities to make friends. Furthermore,
professors can assign to them homework and
require to go out and meet their team. For
instance, the tasks should be the customer
service survey in supermarkets or coffee
shops in rush hours and working with their
team to do reports.
In conclusion, online networking can affect
young people on physical and mental health,
their abilities to communicate will not
enhance as well. As far as I am concerned,
people in state and schools should attract
them with interesting outdoor competitions or
homework.
In conclusion, online networking can affect
young people on physical and mental health,
their abilities to communicate will not
enhance as well. It seems obvious to me that
people in state and educational organizations
should attract the young people with
interesting outdoor the competitions or
homework to help them more active.
