Section 1: a summary of the reading article.
Day by day, everything is modernized in every section of our lives. The internet is 
becoming an increasingly important tool for humans, especially the younger 
generation. As an example, we can see that most works are being done by the internet 
because it can ease the works that people think are difficult to do, such as tasks at 
work, homework in school or university, and so on. In 2019, every part of the world 
suffered from a virus (Covid 19). At that time, people went through bad situations 
related to their health, work, study, life, career, etc. However, humanity did not give 
up and tried to find ways to run their works (study, career, etc.). One of the noticeable 
ways was zoom. Even in suburbs, the government tried to provide internet to locals. 
But some people thought that zoom was the wrong way to enter real life, even though 
it gave humans chances to do their work easily. Most youngsters cited that unlike 
face-to-face interaction, video chats can be overwhelming and distracting for most 
people to process. We witnessed that in the whole world, most arguments were going 
on during this time. Cyberpsychologist Andrew Franklin says, "It is good to 
remember that people are not fixating on you as much as you feel they are." Till that 
time, millions of people will utilize video chats in their social and professional lives, 
and Zoom fatigue is becoming a common complaint.
Section 2: evaluate the article, explaining your thoughts or opinions in relation to 
the article.
I appreciate the use of the zoom system in some cases. As everything has two sides, 
it is clear to me that the benefits of online video chats outweigh the negatives. In my 
opinion, using zoom in our lives can handle more issues relating to our crucial work. 
I want to take this example as proof. Nowadays, more and more universities are 
getting to teach students in any way, both traditional and online. In the online system, 
Zoom gives more chances to students to access the lessons. It would be easy for 

---

some students who lack the confidence to speak in public or the type who get excited 
quickly and are easily speechless. In zoom, they can see the screen and easily make 
a brief speech. 
On the other hand, zoom can have negative effects on teenagers. They may be 
becoming more addicted to the internet. For that reason, in their minds, study doesn't 
stay in one place. Another major reason why I think online video chat is not 
beneficial is that nowadays, more young people are changing their appearance in 
order to be good-looking on social media. And they think that such medical 
procedures can help them in this case.
 
Section 3: how this reading material connects to your society that you are living and 
societies in the past.
If I compare the present and past of using online video chats, especially Zoom, 
I can say undoubtedly there is a wide range of changes between them. I do not 
prefer to go far away, so I chose the last 10 years in order to compare them with 
right now. In the past, either online lessons or Zoom platforms were not well 
improved. There was a lack of users in this figure, especially country officials 
or the kind workers who were kept in touch with these changes. Honestly, local 
residents could not understand because not having accessible internet was the 
obstacle to knowing it. Nowadays, different types of age groups can easily 
understand what the internet is and in which cases they can access such 
platforms or sites. The reason is that today's changes affect everyone at once. If 
we worry about the negative sides of using zoom, there are many ways to avoid 
them. It is proven that looking in mirrors or at screens that show yourself can 
increase your confidence, but combined with it, it can lead to negative self-
evaluation. Today's society are becoming more selfish compared to the past.
