Learning objectives
By the end of the class, you will be able to
grasp the whole picture of the passage by figuring out the main idea and structure ;
find out the answers to the questions using the clues based on the passage;
apply the strategies concluded to completing a letter of advice.
Activity 1:Read for the main idea and structure.
Guiding questions:
1.What’s the passage mainly about
2. What’s the structure of the passage
① Looks like Hank and Stefan were hanging out at Olivia's last night. What were they doing there Was anyone else there Why wasn't I invited Do they not like me You might have experienced this emotion we call FOMO, or the fear of missing out. 1 Psychologists have been studying why FOMO happens, what harm it does and how we can cope with it.
② 2 This goes back to our earliest ancestors that formed cooperative groups for survival. At that time, being left alone meant being exposed to great danger. So humans have evolved to feel anxious when they find themselves left out.
③Nowadays, with the rise of social media, FOMO has become an even bigger issue,especially for young people who seem to be always online. One survey has found that 60% of teens feel stressed if they lose track of their friends or when they find out their friends are having fun without them.In fact, excessive(过度的)worrying about what others are doing only causes teens to admire others blindly and miss out on their own lives. 3 And consequently,the teens lose their sense of identity and struggle with low self-confidence.
④ Research proves there is a real relation between the time spent on digital technology and higher levels of anxiety. But just switching the phone off does not erase the feelings that FOMO causes. Teens may still worry that they are missing out. 4 The key is to set aside specific time each day to check social media. By doing this,teens will not be glued to their screens and will become more productive.
⑤They can also practice full-concentration, an exercise where a person learns to intensely focus on something other than social media. Whether it is reading a book,chatting with a friend, trying a new recipe, or hiking through the forest,the goal of full-concentration is that teens completely absorb themselves in what they are doing at the moment. 5
