Main objectives of this material
- Develop advanced vocabulary related to social media, privacy, and personal development, including terms such as validation, grounded, anchored, opt out, off the grid, and milestones.
- Improve listening and critical thinking skills by analysing the psychology of people who limit their online presence and evaluating different perspectives on privacy, success, and digital identity.
- Learn and practise passive reporting structures and distancing language, including expressions such as It is said that…, He is thought to…, Apparently…, Allegedly…, According to…, and seem / appear, to discuss information objectively and formally.
What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will examine the relationship between social media, privacy, and personal well-being while exploring why some people deliberately choose a limited online presence. They will develop advanced vocabulary connected with digital behaviour, validation, and independence, analyse a video on the psychology of social media, and debate the advantages and disadvantages of online visibility. Through grammar practice focused on passive reporting structures and distancing expressions, students will strengthen their ability to present opinions, report information objectively, and discuss complex issues related to technology, identity, and modern society with confidence and precision.
