📝 Transcription dialogue IELTS Speaking
I want to talk about why certain posts on social media feel contagious. People often use the word contagious to describe a meme or idea that everyone suddenly repeats. The comparison helps listeners imagine fast spread, like a cold. But the word contagious is metaphorical here. It does not mean a physical disease is involved. A 2018 study at a midwestern university looked at resharing behaviour. It found that emotional posts were 30 percent more likely to be reshared than neutral ones. That same study showed that videos were the most contagious format overall. Images still spread faster than plain text, but videos triggered the most reactions. Some commentators argue text posts are more influential, and others claim images travel quickest. Those views are common but not supported by the research I mention. The research also suggests most reshares happen within the first 24 hours. So a post can feel contagious because people see and copy it quickly. Understanding this helps us be more critical about what we share and why a story might seem contagious even when it is not literally infectious.
📝 📚 Questions de pratique IELTS
1
According to the speaker, what did the 2018 study find about emotional posts?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The passage states the 2018 study found emotional posts were 30 percent more likely to be reshared. Option B is wrong because the speaker says 'contagious' is a metaphor and not a physical disease. Option C is the opposite of the study result. Option D contradicts the claim that emotional posts get more reshares.
2
Which content format did the speaker identify as 'the most contagious'?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
C
Explication:
Correct: The speaker explicitly says videos were the most contagious format. Option A is incorrect; the speaker mentioned some commentators favour text but the study did not. Option B is incorrect because images spread faster than text but were not described as the most contagious. Option D is not discussed in the passage.
3
Where was the study cited by the speaker conducted?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The passage refers to a 2018 study at a midwestern university. Options B, C and D are not mentioned and are therefore incorrect.
4
What inference can you make about why the speaker compares social media posts to contagious diseases?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
Correct: The speaker uses the disease metaphor to show rapid social transmission of ideas. Option A is wrong because the speaker clarifies the term is metaphorical. Option C is incorrect; there is no suggestion that platforms distribute computer viruses. Option D is too narrow; the speaker discusses speed of spread, not only harmful content.
5
What does the speaker imply about the common opinions that text or images are the quickest to spread?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
Correct: The passage states those views are common but not supported by the research. Option A is wrong because the speaker contradicts those opinions with the study result. Option C is incorrect; the speaker does not endorse text as quickest. Option D is wrong because the speaker actually says images spread faster than plain text.
6
In this passage, the word 'contagious' most nearly means:
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: 'Contagious' is used metaphorically to mean ideas or posts that spread quickly. Option B is incorrect because the speaker explicitly says it is a metaphor and not literal disease. Options C and D are unrelated meanings.
7
What factual detail did the speaker give about the timing of most reshares?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker says the research suggests most reshares happen within the first 24 hours. Option B is incorrect; a month is not mentioned. Option C is unsupported and false. Option D is a misleading detail mentioned as a common belief but the speaker gives 24 hours as the study finding, not one hour.
