objective
You are invited to a school debate on the topic "The impact of social media on young people". The moderator asks you to give a brief opening statement of no more than 50 words. Write an appropriate opening that introduces the topic and states your position.
Answer Options
A.
Good morning everyone. While social media is a popular pastime, I contend that its impact on youth is minimal, neither significantly harming nor helping them, and the discussion should focus on other more pressing issues.
B.
Good morning everyone. I propose that social media primarily serves as a harmless entertainment platform for young people, and any concerns are overstated; let's examine why regulation may be unnecessary.
C.
Good morning everyone. I will demonstrate that social media, when used responsibly, enriches young people's lives by expanding horizons, fostering creativity, and providing valuable educational resources. Our debate should explore how to maximize these benefits.
Correct Answer
D.
Good morning everyone. Today I will argue that social media, while offering valuable connections, largely harms young people by fostering anxiety, reducing face‑to‑face interaction, and spreading misinformation. I hope our discussion will highlight the need for balanced, responsible use.
