Q8 Interview Q1PreferenceSpeaking Interview
Interviewer: Thank you for participating in this study. Today, I'd like to ask you some questions about how you use social media. First, if you were to choose a social media platform to use most regularly, which one would you choose, and why?
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
State the habit or experience directly, then add a reflective reason.
Use pauses after contrast markers such as although, not simply, and rather than.
If I had to choose one platform, I would choose a video-based one because it is useful for both learning and entertainment. I can watch short explanations, news summaries, or creative content. The key is controlling the time, because endless scrolling can easily waste an hour. The main challenge is using social media for purposeful connection rather than automatic consumption.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate

Q9 Interview Q2OpinionSpeaking Interview
Interviewer: Interesting. Do you think social media is more beneficial for younger people or older people? Why?
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
Compare options naturally instead of listing them mechanically.
Stress the phrase that shows preference or priority.
I think social media can benefit older people more if they use it well. It can help them stay connected with family, follow community news, and learn new skills. Younger people already have many ways to socialize, but older people may feel more isolated without digital tools. For older users, social media can reduce informational and emotional distance from family and community.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate

depending on the situation

Q10 Interview Q3OpinionSpeaking Interview
Interviewer: Interesting. Some people believe that social media can help people stay connected, while others think it can lead to feelings of isolation. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree? Why?
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
Build a short narrative or hypothetical with a clear cause-and-effect line.
Segment the response into choice, reason, and consequence.
I think social media can both connect and isolate people. It connects people when they use it to keep real relationships active. But it can create isolation if users only compare themselves to others or replace face-to-face contact with passive scrolling. Its effect depends on usage: it can deepen connection or intensify comparative loneliness.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
comparative loneliness

Q11 Interview Q4PredictionSpeaking Interview
Interviewer: Good points. Finally, do you think social media use will continue to grow in the future, or will people start to limit their usage? What factors do you think will most affect future usage of social media? Explain your thoughts.
🎧 Question Audio
C1-C2 Sample Answer
CEFR C1-C2 target
Give a nuanced position with concession before your main argument.
Use intonation to signal contrast, qualification, and final judgment.
I think social media use will continue to grow, but people will become more selective. Privacy concerns, mental health, and the quality of online content will affect future usage. People may not quit completely, but they may limit notifications or choose smaller communities. Future use will be shaped by digital fatigue, privacy concerns, and whether platforms feel genuinely useful.
C1-C2 key phrases to imitate
