Digital habits across generations - B1

More people aged 55 or more use Facebook than people aged 65 or more.

1. True
2. False

Why?

The text tells us:

In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

So:

55-64 is 3.5 million users, this is more than the 2.9 million 65+ users

Grandparents typically use Facebook less than their grandchildren.

1. True
2. False

Why?

The text tells us:

Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17

So:

The grandparents use it MORE than their grandchildren

Sheila feels grateful to social media.

1. True
2. False

Why?

The text tells us:

It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did it when I was a child, but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.'

So:

She is happy with social media and feels lucky to have it, this means she is grateful for it.

Peter found his own smartphone use affected how he felt about how much his children used their phones.

1. True
2. False

Why?

The text tells us:

'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?'

So:

It does not change how he feels about how much his children use their phones, it changes how much he feels like he can tell his children not to.

Peter has changed how much he uses his phone during the working day.

1. True
2. False

Why?

The text tells us:

o, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages.

So:

It is not during the working day but at every other moment.

Peter feels that the changes make him a better parent.

1. True
2. False

Why?

The text tells us:

'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

So:

He feels like he is doing the tasks of a parent better now that he spends less time behind a screen.
