Ex3. Read the passage and complete each sentence with no more than two words taken from the

Now more than ever, teens are under immense pressure to look a certain way. Studies show that social media
significantly increases the risk of body dissatisfaction in teens. Contents on social media may contain
unrealistic beauty standards as well as dangerous “diet advice”. Many teens give priority to achieving such
standards, so they imitate the eating patterns of influencers, models, and celebrities. This can harm their
physical and mental health.
It is completely normal for everyone to want to fit in and look a certain way. However, it is essential to never
put one’s health at risk in order to lose weight or change the body shape. Teens should be aware that their
body will change as they grow and develop, and there can be fluctuations in body weight during adolescence.
Eating nutritious foods and staying active can keep them healthy and happy.
If teens struggle with their body image or body weight, they should tell a healthcare counsellor or other adult.
If they are not comfortable telling an adult in their life, they can reach out to a health hotline for support and
resources rather than following untrusted diet advice on social media.

How social media affect teens’ mental health
In a recent study, more than one-third of teens say that they are using social media sites such as YouTube,
TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. There are certain risks to teens’ mental health when they overuse social
media.
First, too much use of social media can occupy their time for other important activities. They may be
reluctant to be in person with friends and family or not get enough sleep. If these problems continue in a long
time, teens may suffer from stress and anxiety. Second, contents on social media may be violent, dangerous
or inaccurate. Watching violent acts may give teens the sense that aggression is normal and acceptable. This
may lead them to behave aggressively as what they see online. Social media can also present idealised
images of people, which may result in increasing worries about body image in teens.
All in all, it is important that parents encourage healthy social media habits for their teens. They may do so
by establishing family rules about social media use, being a role model of healthy internet use, and having
ongoing conversations with teens about their activities on social networking sites. These should be done on a
regular basis.
