Read the passage given below. (10)


1. Social media has become almost a necessity for us, in today’s world. It’s become
so important and evolved so much, that we carry our social media with us throughout
the day, on our phones.
2. One of the major benefits of social media is that you can connect with people all
over the world, for free. This comes in handy if you have friends who have travelled
abroad. You can send them messages on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, and they
can respond quickly from wherever they are. Social media helps to fortify and
maintain your personal relationships, even with people who are far away from you. If
you have a family member that’s travelling, you won’t have to wait until they return to
hear about their adventures. Just hop on Facebook or Instagram and start chatting
and exchanging pictures.
3. This ability to communicate quickly and easily with people overseas is also very
convenient for those who do business, in foreign lands. Social media platforms
provide a cheap, easy way to quickly communicate your point to your customers or
clients, who are across the world. You can send a private message, publicly share
something or video chat, for free. Using social media for a company is very cost
effective and time efficient. Staying connected to these people is important to
improve your business relationship, and keep your company running properly.
4. Staying connected to your social networks on the platforms that you use can be
vital to your professional success. Through social media sites, you can find jobs,
inform your community of business opportunities and career openings, and you can
even monetize your accounts. Keeping a well-maintained network will help you
achieve success in your career. A good site to look at, if you’re trying to create a
professional network, is Linkedln. The site is designed specifically to help you
advance in your career. You’ll open up plenty of new opportunities that you didn’t
have, before.
5. Being an active participant in social media is a great way to learn new things. News
outlets are constantly using social media, to help keep people in the loop. Social
media is the way that news is heard, and it’s the way that news is spread. You can
make the argument that staying connected to social media is, in fact, staying
connected to life. It’s not only good for sharing and spreading news, it’s a great place
to find out about people’s opinions on various topics. For example, if you’ve built a
sports community, you’ll learn about the sports that you love. You can build
communities around politics, business, cars, family, education and pretty much
whatever other topic you’d like. Social media will enhance your life. It will provide you
the chance to communicate, connect and be involved like never before. You’ll stay
connected with news outlets, family, friends and virtually whatever else you’d like to
connect with.
