Introduction: Linh was going to the supermarket to buy groceries, suddenly Linh

saw Ngoc eating fried chicken in KFC.

L: hello Ngoc
N: Hi Linh, what are you doing here?
L: I'm going to buy some food and go shopping.
Why did I text you 2 days ago but you didn't reply?
N: I took a break from social media for a while. I feel pretty tired and frustrated
about social media.
L: What's wrong with you?
N: My facebook account has just been hacked, and all my information is lost, all
jobs and events are lost. I feel very stressed and I really don't want to be on social
media again.
L: don't worry, calm down. I think social network will have its advantages and
disadvantages, your case is no exception.
N: So what's the advantages of socialnetwork ?
L: On one hand, social networks bring about lots of advantages. First and for most,
they are the fastest nad most convenient way people communicate nowadays.
People no longer need to write or send letter and wait for a long time before
receiving the responses. They just need a smartphone, a tablet or a laptop that is
connected to Internet to talk face to face with the others even when they live far
from each other. Another huge advantage of social networks is that they are a way
to spread beautiful messages. For example, when there is someone meeting
difficulties, people can post the information on facebook or zalo to raise fund.
Thanks to social platforms, there are many disable are helped and many people
living in poverty can be supported. Besides, social networks help the firms and
corporations advertise their products and buy them online, which raise their
revenue dramatically.

N: That's right. If you look at them in many ways, they all have a good side and a
bad side.
On the other hands, social media has several drawbacks. The most negative effect
is that people, especially young people, get addicted to social networking. They
spend even more than 4 hours a day to check their social network, which waste an
amount of their time. Nowadays, you can easily see the young people on the streets
staring at their smartphone to use facebook or viber or snapchat,… Furthermore,
even primary children now use facebook, which affect badly on their awareness.
Another problem concerning with social media is the invasion of privacy. When
you log in, you must provide your private information. Although the social
network owners commit not to reveal your profile but the hackers can take it from
them any when they can. Furthermore, some people use social networks for bad
purpose such as offense some one or spread wrong information

L: In conclusion, social network is beneficial when you make use of it.  I suggest
that you take responsibility for what you do and protect your privacy. Be careful
with what you post and treat others as if you were in a face-to-face situation.

N: I see, thanks for your advice. I have an appointment right now, we'll talk later,
I'll go first. Bye
L: okay, Bye.
