Nowadays many people use social media in their daily life. Do you think social media is wonderful or terrible? We have got an email from our reader Harry, a 14-year-old student from New Star Middle School.
Dear editor,
I'd like to share my opinion on social media.
Many people believe that social media is a great way of keeping in touch with others. However, (1) ______, it has more disadvantages than advantages.
First of all, the "perfect images" on social media can lead to feelings of sadness. People make their life look perfect on social media, though they aren't that way in real life. Some people, (2) ______, often post pictures of themselves with fine clothes and make-up to show their best. We may mistake these "perfect images" as normal things and feel sad when we are not able to get them.
What's worse, social media can make unfriendly comments hurt even more. People sometimes write unkind things online and forget them soon but those unpleasant comments stay online for a long time and can be read by a lot of people over and over again.
Besides, social media can also be a huge time-waster. With new messages and pictures always being posted, we are busy checking them. As a result, we leave behind other things like studying, exercising and meeting friends face to face.
To sum up, (3) ______ social media is not good for us. It can make us feel down, hurt more with unfriendly comments, and make us spend too much time online instead of doing better things.
Yours truly,
Harry
