Hello, everyone. Welcome to my podcast. I'm your old friend, Liuhuan, a mother of two. Today, I want to talk about short videos with you.
Short videos are a new way for people to get different ideas and information on the Internet. The people of all ages have fun watching them on their phones. There are lots of social media platforms with all kinds of short video in different styles around the world like Douyin, Bilibili. Some are fun, some are educational with different topics. And nearly all of them are about five minutes long, even just a few seconds(秒). People not only enjoy watching short videos, but also interested in making them. With a smartphone, almost everybody can make a short video with little difficulty.
Short videos do have some good points. On the one hand, they can help people learn new things easily and quickly. People can concentrate(集中注意力) better on these videos because they are much shorter. On the other hand, what short videos show is so colorful that almost everyone can find his own interest. Short videos can even help people make money. For example, more people in the countryside choose to sell their things online by using short videos. This new way can make a big difference to their life and work.
However, these videos also come along with some problems. Spending too much time watching the videos takes time away from studying, working and other important things. Many children and even adults(成年人)have become addicted to(沉迷于) watching them. They hardly ever take part in outdoor activities less often, spending less time with friends and family.
As parents, we should see how terrible these problems are. We should set a good example for our children and do something more meaningful together, like riding a bike, taking a walk or playing family games. They are all helpful to help them keep away from smartphones.
In my opinion, short videos can help our children get a closer look at the world. They can learn more in less time, too. However, we still need to be careful about the online information. We should learn to tell the right from wrong and make good use of the Internet.
