    El Chikh Ibrahim Bayoud High School Date: March 2021
     Level: First Year Scientific streams Duration: 2hours
    First Term English Exam
    Part one: Reading.
    A/ Comprehension: (8pts)
    Read the text carefully then do the activities:
    A former Facebook executive has said social media is doing great harm to society around
    the world. They are destroying societies because they are changing people’s behavior.
    Twenty years ago, people talked to each other face to face. Today, people message each
    other. People also care about what other think about them. They post photos and wait to see how
    many people like them.
    The Facebook expert said people should take a long break from social media so they can
    experience real life. He wants people to value each other instead of valuing online ‘hearts and
    likes’. It is also becoming easier to hurt other people online. Anyone can hide behind a face user
    and post lies about other people. He said this was a global problem. He is worried about social
    media so much so he has banned his children from using them. However, he did think that social
    media are still good. Of course they are not all bad. It depends on how often we use them.
