Hyden: I think it's great! It helps students learn faster, and we can find information easily.​
Aria: That’s true, but don’t you think students get distracted by their phones?​
Hayden: Yeah, but if schools set strict rules, it can be controlled. Also, technology helps students with

Activity 3: Listening for Critical Thinking

Speech by a Class Monitor.

"Hello, everyone. As a class monitor, I’ve noticed that technology affects our studies in different ways. Some
students use their tablets to take notes and watch educational videos. However, others use their devices for
gaming instead of studying. A study found that students who use educational websites score 15% higher than
those who don’t. But technology also creates problems. Some students depend too much on AI tools to do
their homework, which reduces their critical thinking skills. We need to use technology wisely to balance
learning and entertainment. That way, we can benefit from its advantages without harming our education."

Activity 1: Listening for Specific Information.

“Social media has transformed the way people communicate, work, and learn. Platforms like Facebook,
Twitter, and Instagram allow users to stay connected across the globe. One of the biggest advantages of
social media is its role in information sharing. News spreads faster than ever before, making it easier to stay
informed. It also provides a platform for businesses and entrepreneurs to market their products, reaching a
wider audience at lower costs.”

“However, social media comes with significant drawbacks. One major concern is the spread of
misinformation. False news can be shared rapidly, leading to confusion and misinformation. Another issue
is its impact on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to anxiety,
depression, and low self-esteem, especially among young users. Additionally, social media addiction reduces
productivity, as people spend hours scrolling through their feeds instead of engaging in real-world
activities.”

“Despite its drawbacks, social media remains an essential tool in modern society. The key is to use it
responsibly—fact-checking information, setting time limits, and maintaining a balance between online and
offline interactions."
