SECTION A- READING SKILLS 20

I. Read the passage given below. 10

1. Social media has become almost a necessity for us, in today’s world. It’s become so important and
evolved so much, that we carry our social media with us throughout the day, on our phones.

2. One of the major benefits of social media is that you can connect with people all over the world,
for free. This comes in handy if you have friends who have travelled abroad. You can send them
messages on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, and they can respond quickly from wherever they
are. Social media helps to fortify and maintain your personal relationships, even with people who
are far away from you. If you have a family member that’s travelling, you won’t have to wait until
they return to hear about their adventures. Just hop on Facebook or Instagram and start chatting
and exchanging pictures.

3. This ability to communicate quickly and easily with people overseas is also very convenient for
those who do business, in foreign lands. Social media platforms provide a cheap, easy way to quickly
communicate your point to your customers or clients, who are across the world. You can send a
private message, publicly share something or video chat, for free. Using social media for a company
is very cost effective and time efficient. Staying connected to these people is important to improve
your business relationship, and keep your company running properly.

4. Staying connected to your social networks on the platforms that you use can be vital to your
professional success. Through social media sites, you can find jobs, inform your community of
business opportunities and career openings, and you can even monetize your accounts. Keeping a
well- maintained network will help you achieve success in your career. A good site to look at, if
you’re trying to create a professional network, is Linkedln. The site is designed specifically to help
you advance in your career. You’ll open up plenty of new opportunities that you didn’t have, before.

5. Being an active participant in social media is a great way to learn new things. News outlets are
constantly using social media, to help keep people in the loop. Social media is the way that news is
heard, and it’s the way that news is spread. You can make the argument that staying connected to
social media is, in fact, staying connected to life. It’s not only good for sharing and spreading news,
it’s a great place to find out about people’s opinions on various topics. For example, if you’ve built a
sports community, you’ll learn about the sports that you love. You can build communities around
politics, business, cars, family, education and pretty much whatever other topic you’d like. Social
media will enhance your life. It will provide you the chance to communicate, connect and be
involved like never before. You’ll stay connected with news outlets, family, friends and virtually
whatever else you’d like to connect with.
