5. SPEAKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING

people spend a lot of their free time using social networks such as: Facebook, twitter,
WhatsApp, etc; and it generates addiction, as it is presented in the following videos:

5.1.

Please, think of possible strategies to avoid addiction to these social networks.

Please, write a possible solution and share it in your English class using a
poster, do not use slides.

I think that the problem is in that the young people dont seize their time in activities like
the dance, reading books, sunny walk, sports, sciences, learn and play music.
This situation is because the parents dont encourage their children to do it, generally they
are very busy in their jobs and dont think in the good of their kids.
My strategy is that the government begin spaces of culture for free, in which young people
have access to tools, musical instruments, systems or things that help them to do these
activities.

6. EVALUATION
Include listenings answers in your portfolio and prepare your problem solving
speaking using a poster for your next class.
