Unit 5. Exercise 17.

A. Read the dialogue.

Match the questions with the underlined parts of the sentences.

Hi, Alex. What's up? What are you doing?

Hey, Martha. I'm doing great. Thanks.

I'm trying to get a new social media account.

A new social media account? How many different social media accounts do you have?

I think it is more than 25.

You know social media is now widespread and more influential than ever.

Do you spend too much time on social media?

I think three or four hours a day.

I guess an average American internet user spends two to three hours online.

Wow. I think it is too much. I am not very interested in the internet.

Really? There were around four billion active social media users in the world

a year ago and around five billion internet users worldwide.

It's interesting. I don't have a mobile, so I don't connect to the internet.

Most of the teenagers in my country don't have mobiles.

Oh, I got it. But people can connect to the internet via a laptop, a desktop PC, a tablet, or even a smart TV.

Yes, but we don't have an internet connection at home.

We only access the internet at school to do our assignments.

Hey, listen. Can I keep in touch with my friends here when I go back to my country?

Yes, of course.

It is great then. My grandfather will buy me a smartphone as a gift.

Can you show me how to connect to the internet?

Of course Martha. I can help you get a social media account too.
