Task 1
[Question]
Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of communicating and socializing through apps on smartphones. Please explain your answer with details and examples.
[Response]
Compared with talking in person, communicating over the smartphone has a lot of advantages and disadvantages.
Obviously the biggest advantage is that you can talk anywhere, anytime when you’re using a smartphone. For example, last weekend my friends and I met at the mall, but everyone arrived at different times and different places. However, because we use our smartphones, that’s no problem at all. We can just communicate and find a place to meet.
On the other hand, communicating on smartphones has disadvantages. Because you’re not talking to a person using your voice and seeing someone’s face, it’s very easy to misunderstand what people are saying. Just yesterday, my friend got really mad at me because I made a joke and they didn’t realize it was a joke.
