Sample Answers

Do your friends like using social media? Yeah, most of my friends are really into social media. I think it's because it's a great way for them to stay connected with each other, share their experiences, and keep up with what's trending. Plus, it's just so easy to use, you know, you can just scroll through your feed and see what's going on in your friends' lives.

Do you think your friends use social media too much? Honestly, I think some of my friends might be using social media a bit too much. I mean, they're always on their phones, even when we're hanging out together. I think it's because they feel pressure to stay connected and up-to-date, but sometimes it's nice to just put your phone away and enjoy the moment, you know?

Do you want to work at a social media company? Actually, I think it would be really cool to work at a social media company. I'm interested in marketing and advertising, and social media is such a big part of that. Plus, I think it would be awesome to be part of a company that's shaping the way people communicate and interact with each other. It's a really exciting industry, and I think I could learn a lot.

What are the most popular social media platforms in your country? In my country, I'd say the most popular social media platforms are probably Instagram and Facebook. Everyone's on Instagram, it seems like, and Facebook is still really popular, especially among older people. But, I've also noticed that TikTok is getting really big, especially among younger people. I think it's because it's just so entertaining, you can scroll through and watch videos all day, and it's a great way to discover new music and trends.
