Title: Discussing a Group Project
Characters:
- John (Male Student)
- Emily (Female Student)
Location:
- On a bench near the university building
John: Hey Emily, have you thought about our group project for the Sociology class?
Emily: Yes, I have! I was thinking we could focus on the impact of social media on mental health. What do you think?
John: That sounds great! It's such a relevant topic. Do you have any specific aspects in mind?
Emily: I was thinking we could divide it into sections: the positive and negative effects, and maybe some case studies. What about you?
John: I agree. We can start with the positive effects, like how social media helps in building communities and support groups.
Emily: Exactly. And then we can discuss the negative aspects, such as cyberbullying and the pressure to look perfect online.
John: Yes, cyberbullying is a huge issue. I have some articles on that. I can handle that section.
Emily: Perfect! I can work on the positive effects. We should also include some real-life examples to make it more engaging.
John: Absolutely. How about we meet again tomorrow at the library to discuss our progress?
Emily: Sounds good to me. Let’s aim to have our initial research done by then.
John: Great! See you tomorrow then.
Emily: See you!
約翰: 嘿，艾米莉，你有沒有想過我們社會學課的小組項目？
艾米莉: 有的！我在想我們可以專注於社交媒體對心理健康的影響。你覺得怎麼樣？
約翰: 聽起來不錯！這是一個非常相關的主題。你有沒有具體的方面要討論？
艾米莉: 我在想我們可以分成幾個部分：正面和負面的影響，還有一些案例研究。你呢？
約翰: 我同意。我們可以從正面影響開始，比如社交媒體如何幫助建立社區和支持小組。
艾米莉: 沒錯。然後我們可以討論負面影響，比如網絡霸凌和在線壓力。
約翰: 是的，網絡霸凌是一個巨大的問題。我有一些相關的文章，我可以負責這一部分。
艾米莉: 太好了！我可以負責正面影響。我們還應該包括一些真實的例子，使其更具吸引力。
約翰: 絕對是。那我們明天再圖書館見，討論我們的進展怎麼樣？
艾米莉: 聽起來不錯。我們目標是在那之前完成初步的研究。
約翰: 太好了！那明天見。
艾米莉: 明天見！
