2019外研版选择性必修二全册课文英汉互译Unit 2 Improving yourselfUnderstanding ideasSocial Media DetoxModeratorToday marks the last day of the Social Media Detox, Brenton High’s fundraising campaign for new sports equipment. At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days. This meant no messaging friends, no posting photos, no blogging----nothing. They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media. They were nervous. But could they do it?With the detox finished, they’ve switched on their devices and they’re back online. I bet you’re as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated enough to last the full seven days! And what, if anything, have been learnt from the experience?Anna 17I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected. I felt like I had lost an arm! Not eating for two days would have been easier! But on reflection, I cansee how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. I’m now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.Devon 16I lasted four days. On Monday, our classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend—it felt strange not to already know what he had done. We would have posted pictures and updated our profiles. Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were ding and thinking! It made me realise the value of real contact that I hand forgotten. Cindy 18I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out. Then,instead of messaging my friend, I went around to her house. Without our phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours. Without being distracted by messages from other people, it felt so good! Then i decided to visit a different friend every day. By the fifth day, I wondered—was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to?Gorge 16I did all seven days, too! To be honest, I di dn’t find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my father toavoid giving in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone; so he took me to check out our local sports centre. An hour’s sport each day left me tired o ut and sent me early to bed. The detox made me healthier! Max 17I’m embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel on the first day! I knew there was a party happening that evening, but without access to social media I couldn’t remember where it was! In th e end, I turn on my phone to check, but couldn’t resist having a quick look at my social media accounts. What’s worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost missed the party.ModeratorThe detox raised a total of $1,632.82 for new school sports equipment! Well done,everyone who took part! After reading the posts on this forum, it seems that something rather than money has also been raised through the detox.

外研社2019新版选修2unit2社交媒体脱瘾课文翻译全文
我也坚持了整整七天!说实话,我觉得社交媒体脱瘾没那么难,但为了让自己不要半途而废,我还是把手机上交给爸爸了。哥哥觉得我应该充分规划好没有手机的日子,因此他带我去了我们当地的体育中心。每天一小时的运动让人筋疲力尽,想早点上床休息。脱瘾活动让我更健康了!
马克斯17岁
我都不好意思说自己第一天就打了退堂鼓。脱瘾活动开始的当晚有个聚会,但如果不靠社交媒体的话,我怎么也想不起地点在哪儿!最后我还是打开手机查看了一下,结果没忍住,偷看了一眼我的社交媒体账户。更糟的是,我花了大把时间刷新动态,差点错过了本该要去的聚会!
辛迪18岁
我坚持了整整一周!最初,我真的感觉自己错过了无数消息。但我忍住没给朋友发消息,而是直接去了她家。没有手机的我们,好好地聊了两个多小时,没有被其他人的消息干扰,这感觉真棒!接下来我决定每天去见一位不同的朋友。到第五天时我在想,当我不再忙于查看手机关注他人生活的时候,我真的错过了很多吗?
乔治16岁
主持人
此次脱瘾活动总共为学校募集了1,632.82英镑,用于购购置新的体育设备!每位参与者都做得很棒!看了论坛上的各个帖子,这次活动对人们的影响似乎远远不止通过活动筹集到的钱。脱瘾活动还让我们意识到自己对社交媒体的依赖程度,从而帮我们摆脱它的束缚,更好的互相沟通。

social media detox说课稿

social media detox说课稿

social media detox说课稿引言概述:社交媒体在现代社会中扮演着重要的角色,但过度使用社交媒体也可能对我们的生活和健康造成负面影响。

因此,社交媒体戒断成为了一种越来越受欢迎的做法,被称为社交媒体戒断。

本文将探讨社交媒体戒断的重要性以及如何进行社交媒体戒断。

正文内容:1. 社交媒体对健康的负面影响1.1 社交媒体成瘾的影响社交媒体的使用过度可能导致成瘾,使人们过度依赖社交媒体来满足情感和社交需求,进而影响现实生活中的人际关系和社交技能。

1.2 社交媒体对心理健康的影响过度使用社交媒体可能导致焦虑、抑郁和自尊心下降等心理健康问题。

社交媒体上的虚假完美生活和社交比较可能使人们感到不满和不安。

1.3 社交媒体对身体健康的影响长时间使用社交媒体可能导致久坐不动、缺乏运动和睡眠不足等问题,进而增加患肥胖、心血管疾病和代谢性疾病的风险。

2. 社交媒体戒断的益处2.1 提高生活质量社交媒体戒断可以帮助人们重新关注现实生活,提高生活质量和满足感。

戒断社交媒体可以减少对虚假信息和负面情绪的暴露,从而改善心理健康。

2.2 增强人际关系社交媒体戒断可以鼓励人们更多地与现实生活中的朋友和家人进行面对面的交流,增强人际关系。

这有助于建立更真实、深入的人际关系,提高社交技能。

2.3 改善身体健康戒断社交媒体可以减少长时间坐着的时间,促进身体活动。

此外,戒断社交媒体还可以改善睡眠质量,有助于身体健康的维持。

3. 如何进行社交媒体戒断3.1 设定明确的目标在进行社交媒体戒断之前,设定明确的目标是非常重要的。

例如,可以设定每天限制社交媒体使用的时间,或者每周选择一个无社交媒体的休息日。

3.2 寻找替代活动为了减少对社交媒体的依赖,可以寻找替代活动来填补空闲时间。

例如,阅读书籍、锻炼身体、与朋友进行面对面的交流等。

3.3 限制社交媒体的可访问性通过限制社交媒体应用的可访问性,例如将其从手机主屏幕上移除或者设置特定时间段禁用,可以帮助减少使用社交媒体的欲望。

Moderator: Today marks the last day of the Social MediaDetox, Brenton High's fundraising campaign for new sports equipment. At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days. This meant no messaging friends, no posting photos, no blogging- nothing. They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media. They were excited. They were nervous. But could they do it?
With the detox now finished, they've switched on their devices and they're back online. I bet you're as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated enough to last the full seven days! And what, if anything, has been learnt from the experience?
Anna: I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected. I felt like I had lost an arm! Not eating for two days would have been easier! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. I'm now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.
Devon: I lasted four days. On Monday, my classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend-- it felt really strange not to already know what he had done. We would usually have posted pictures and updated our profiles. Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking! It made me realise the value of real contact that I had forgotten. Cindy: I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out. Then, instead of messaging my friend, I went round to her house. Without our phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours, without being distracted by messages from other people. It felt so good! Then I decided to visit a different friend every day. By the fifth day, I wondered-- was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to? George: I did all seven days, too! To be honest, I didn't find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my dad to avoid giving in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone, so he took me to check out our local sports centre. An hour's sport each day left me tired out and wanting to go to bed early. The detox made me healthier!
Max: I'm embarrassea to say that I threw in the towel on the first day: I knew there was a party happening that evening, but without access to social media I couldn't remember where it was! In the end, I turned on my phone to check, but couldn't resist having a quick look at my social media accounts. What's worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost missed the party!
Moderator: The detox raised a total of £1,632.82 for new school sports equipment! Well done, everyone who took part! After reading the posts on this forum, it seems that something other than money has also been raised through the detox. Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better.。
