I recently received amazing news about a college friend with whom I've kept in touch over the years. She had been seeking employment in her desired field for several months after graduating, so I was delighted to hear that she had finally been offered a position as a marketing coordinator at a reputable company.

I discovered this news when catching up on the phone a few weeks ago. She mentioned that she had finally found work and was eager to begin her new position. I was pleased to hear this, especially because I knew how hard she had worked on her job search and how much she had stressed about it.

Is it beneficial to share content on social media?

It is determined by what you are sharing and the reason you're sharing it. Sharing something on social media may be advantageous if you believe it will benefit others or raise awareness about an important topic. However, when it's something personal or private that you don't want people to see, sharing it on social media is typically a bad idea. Before you push the "post" button, consider the potential consequences of your choices.

• raise awareness: nâng cao nhận thức

• consider the potential consequences: cân nhắc những hậu quả có thể xảy ra

Should the media solely focus on disseminating positive news?

I believe that the media should not only publish positive news because it is necessary for people to be aware of what is going on in the world, both good and bad. Yet, I believe the media should strive for balance and avoid sensationalizing negative events. It is also critical for the media to emphasize positive stories and people who are making a difference in the world.

• strive for balance: cố gắng duy trì sự cân bằng

• avoid sensationalizing negative events: hạn chế phóng đại những sự kiện tiêu cực

How does social media facilitate people in accessing information?

Social media helps users find information rapidly. We can find articles, news, and expert comments on many issues with a few clicks. Social media lets us discover like-minded people and join communities that share our interests, making it easier to find relevant information. Social media has made information accessible to more people.

• like-minded people: những người có cùng lý tưởng, sở thích…

• share our interests: có chung sở thích

What types of positive news are commonly shared within communities?

People in the community frequently share good news like job promotions, new family members, achievements of their children or loved ones, or successful fundraising efforts for a cause or charity.

It's always nice to hear about positive things going on around us and to celebrate each other's accomplishments.

• benefit the community: có lợi cho cộng đồng

• going on around us: diễn ra xung quanh chúng ta

Is it common for individuals to share positive news with others?

Absolutely, I believe most people love sharing with others about good news. When something good happens to us, it's natural that we want to share our joy with those around us, whether they're family, friends, or coworkers. Sharing good news with others can also help strengthen our relationships and foster a sense of community and support.

• strengthen our relationships: giúp mối quan hệ thêm gắn bó, bền chặt

• foster a sense of community and support: nuôi dưỡng cảm xúc gắn kết, chia sẻ trong cùng một cộng đồng 

Do individuals enjoy receiving positive news from their peers?
