3. Read the statements (1–4) and match them with the speakers (A–C). There is one extra statement.

1. The speaker talks about becoming addicted to social networks.

2. The speaker says that social networks speed communication.

3. The speaker says social networks help share interests.

4. The speaker talks about losing personal communication.

Speaker A

Well, of course, I am on VK. Through social networking sites I can connect with people who’re miles and miles away from me in just minutes or seconds. Years ago, a letter would travel days in transport, but today, it arrives immediately after being sent through social media. If a person is online, they’ll read it quickly and answer. It really takes no time.

Speaker B

I hate people who post a million pictures and become fans of a hundred pages a day, or update their status like ten times a day. It makes me think what does this person do all day, sitting on VK? It’s just crazy when you become so fanatic. That’s an obsession already. They can’t think and do anything else but stay online.

I don’t think people think of that as much as they should.

Speaker C

I personally think that social networks make people lazy. They don’t call each other anymore, they don’t hear each other’s voices, or talk face-to-face. We’re getting so dis-connected physically, and it isn’t healthy for friendships. What happened to hanging out in person, calling people? It’s getting less and less. Soon we may forget what talking is about. All we do today is type. Hope the situation improves.
