2. do you think social media is beneficial to people? in what ways?

Key words: which, how, when

I think social media is beneficial to people, I have three reasons to know what I think about this.

The first one is I think social media let us get more easier to know what we want to know (social media gives us more access to information that we find interesting) . if you want to buy something, you will search on social media about the this things’ benefits or it has some bad effects we can easily get information about things you want. Lots of people will put their content about this things so you can know this in truth.  feedback, reviews, authentic reviews about the product.

You can get thorough knowledge about a product by searching on social media before you make a purchase.

Before making a purchase, social media can provide you with thorough information about it.

the second one is with this social media we get close to each other. If you have a idol in your teenagers, this time your idol can use their social media to share their life with you. When you see this, you will feel  close to your idol and you think you are become a friends with your idols and take part in their life.

The third reason is that the social media gave a new way to some poor guys maybe in the mountain or poor villages to improve their standard of life, living standards. life levels. social media provide a platform to do some livestreams which let these people to sell their products in their village and before the social media come out, it’s very hard for them to do this because they have less way to reach the outside to the people. 

Using social platforms for selling products is more efficient for people than before, who have no other public exposure/access/means to the mass market.

Social platforms provides people with livestreaming and other opportunities so that even in remote areas, they can still gain enough exposure from the mass market.

So I think the social media is beneficial to people.
