1. Do you or your friends like using social media?

Sample 1: Yes. Us young Vietnamese are quite active on social media, particularly Facebook and Instagram. I personally spend a staggering 3 hours a day flicking through my news feed.

active on social media: hoạt động nhiều trên mạng xã hội
flicking through: lướt mạng xã hội

Sample 2: I’m not a big fan of these online platforms because they can take up a lot of my time during the day. I mean I tried to use social media in the past, and I ended up getting distracted all the time by the notifications of Facebook and Instagram. I couldn’t get anything done, so I decided to delete them for good.

Be a big fan of = like
For good = forever

2. Do you think you or your friends use too much social media?

Sample 1: Probably but for good reasons. It’s the best platform for us to keep abreast of the news and latest trends as well as connect with each other. Few people text or phone now as social media is simply more efficient and faster, on top of that, it’s free.

keep abreast of: bám sát

Sample 2: Speaking for myself, I don’t want to waste too much time on Facebook or Twitter. That said, I know a few friends who are addicted to social media. They post thousands of stories a day, which, I must admit, get on my nerves a bit.

Speaking for myself = in my opinion
Get on sb’s nerves = annoy somebody

3. Do you want to work in social media? Why?

Sample 1: Depending on what kinds of jobs relating to social media we’re talking about. If you asked me whether I would entertain the idea of becoming an influencer on Tiktok or Instagram, I might say yes. However, if it’s something to do with technology, coding, or marketing, I would say no because they’re not really my thing.

entertain the idea of: giải trí với
something to do with: điều gì đó liên quan đến
not really my thing: không thực sự là thứ của tôi.

Sample 2: No, not for the love of money. I hate being the focus on attention. On top of that, I have noticed too many influencers get a bad rap because of their online activities, so I wouldn’t want this nuisance for myself.

No, not for the love of money = never
Get a bad rap = be severely criticized

4. What’s the most popular social media in Vietnam? Why?

Sample 1: Definitely Facebook although it will probably be overthrown by Tiktok in the not-too-distant future. This is because Facebook doesn’t resonate as well with young users as Tiktok does.

be overthrown by: bị lật đổ
resonate: gây tiếng vang

Sample 2: If I have to take a guess, it should be Facebook. Everyone has or used to have an account, I bet. Mind you, there has been a change in demographics on that platform. Young people are now moving to Instagram, while the old group is more active on Facebook.
