Can't Stay Away from Social Media?

-

Introduction:

There is an increasing number of people declaring that social networking sites fulfil an important role in human life. I deeply agree with it since Facebook and Instagram have become primary methods for communication and socialization.



Good aspects:

Keeping up with our fast-changing world:

Youngsters tend to visit their social accounts numerous times a day so as to maintain and develop their social relationships with the people whom they are surrounded by. Social networking sites (SNSs) offer the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world. There is no telling what the future will entail and therefore people have to keep up-to-date and stay abreast of the times. SNSs makes it possible to get informed about the latest news of our fast-changing world of globalization.


The impact of SNSs

Social sites, such as LinkedIn, highly contributes and enhances your career prospects. There is a higher percentage that SNSs users are more likely to find the workplace that fits them. That is why career-orientated young entrepreneurs are advised to surf on social sites so that they would find the workplace of their dreams. The usage of Facebook is also recommended for pupils looking for student work in order to be given a high salary or wage from their future employer. I would also highlight that SNSs enables students to expand their knowledge and deepen their studies in a particular field of learning with their peers.


Unfavourable aspects:

1st problem - Compulsive Addiction:

One of the many problems of SNS sites is that they are massively addictive. The vast majority of people tend to check their Instagram account several times a day since they have the fear of missing out from something. Everybody is posting things and share content all the time 24/7. The problem arises when users ignore their family or their work obligations because they have found the world of Instagram a more enjoyable place to spend their time than the real world.


2nd problem - Privacy:

An enormously big problem with social networking sites is that they encourage you to be more public about your private life, including status updates comments and pictures that can result in jealousy or even identity theft. The solution for the latter problem is to use strong passwords to protect the security of your data. Internet users are advised to use an uppercase letter and numbers so as to make strong passwords. Another way how hackers tend to spy for sensitive data, such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details, is that they clone SNS sites and make an authentic replica of them and urge you to enter your personal information. That is why we had better be careful not to give such of data.


3rd problem - Cyberbullying:

There is an estimated percentage that 50% of young children have already experienced online harassment in any form, including posting rumours or disclosing sensitive information about their peers. Cyberstalking is also on the rise among young teenagers because they are not aware of how deep mental scars it can leave in children. Cyber-bullying refers to the misusage of information technology with the internet to harass others. There have been numerous instances where the inexcusable consequences of online harassment were fatal / mortal on the individual. Unfortunately, it appears to me that vulnerable children are more likely to become a target of their peers who makes fun of them.


4th problem - The self-esteem of the girls:

I have heard that many adolescent girls compare themselves to those perfect females that appear on SNS sites or on television. The self-esteem of these girls is likely to go down due to their extreme body dissatisfaction. I firmly believe that comparing yourself to other women is utterly useless because all women are beautiful in their own way. There is no point in saying that eating disorders are the only solution for such problems like this.

Speech on Education

Motion: THS that salaries of teachers should be increased in institutionalized education. Thank you, Mr. Speaker! Dear honourable members of the House! Outline: In today’s debate, we are all looking for the answer to whether or not more subsidies should be distributed to teachers in institutionalized education.   In my speech, I will go into further detail on how the latter could be attained.   My speech will consist of 5 parts: First of all, I will give the exact definition of what the government mean by the word education. In the second part of my speech, I shall exemplify this by the status quo in Hungary. Thirdly, I will substantiate this problem by giving the highly-likely exacerbations of the situations provided that there is no intervention in time.

In the final part, I will provide a possible solution for the above-mentioned problem and draw a conclusion based on sufficient evidence.   Firs

Verb + ing Forms and Infinitives C1

Introduction: There are lots of unanswered questions concerning verb complementation including infinitives and gerund. Therefore, I have decided to answer these questions and dispel all of these doubts by writing a blog about this topic.  Let me start off by saying, that this blog won't include those basic grammar structures which are needed for the B2 exam.  Thus, I will only be writing about the learning material that is required for the so-called advanced level. Honestly, I have fallen in love with these grammatical structures, for this reason, I will be using them on the C1 exam, to impress the examiners. I want to get good points. Grammar: Some verbs can be either followed by an [object + ing] or a [possessive + ing] with a similar meaning.  Example: I resented Tom winning the prize. OR I resented Tom's winning the prize. (where the possessive noun ends with an ['s]) OR: Mia recalled him buying the book. Mia recalled his buying the book. Similar verbs:  Detest (u
