📝 Transcription dialogue IELTS Speaking
I often think of social media algorithms as an arbiter that selects content. The algorithm acts like an arbiter in many small ways. It decides which posts surface and which stay hidden. Often there is a latent bias built into these decisions. That latent bias can be tiny at first. But latent effects pile up and shape public attention. Some people feel forlorn when their posts get few reactions. A forlorn creator may stop posting. At the same time, the obvious beneficiary is the platform that sells targeted ads. Yet sometimes the beneficiary is an advertiser who gains sales, and occasionally a user may be an unintended beneficiary of curated content. People develop a habitude of scrolling through feeds without thinking. This habitude becomes automatic and interrupts other tasks. I should say that the average person spends about 12 hours online per day; that figure is deliberately exaggerated to make a point. Another claim sometimes heard is that platforms delete half of all posts, which isn't true. What matters is how we respond. If we accept the algorithm as final arbiter, we risk ceding judgement to code. But if we treat it as an assistant, we can reduce that latent harm. The forlorn feeling and the habitude of constant checking are signs we should change our practices so that the real beneficiary is the public good.
📝 📚 Questions de pratique IELTS
1
What does the speaker compare social media algorithms to?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker explicitly says 'algorithms as an arbiter' and repeats the comparison. Option B is wrong because the speaker did not call algorithms a friend. Option C is wrong since 'teacher' was not used. Option D is implausible and not mentioned.
2
What feeling do some users experience when their posts get few reactions?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
Correct: The speaker says 'Some people feel forlorn when their posts get few reactions.' Option A (anxiety) is plausible but not the exact feeling named. Option C (indifference) contradicts the speaker's claim that people feel sad or discouraged. Option D (pride) is the opposite of the described reaction.
3
Who does the speaker identify as the 'obvious beneficiary' of user data?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The passage states 'the obvious beneficiary is the platform that sells targeted ads.' Option B is wrong because moderators are not described as the obvious beneficiary. Option C is incorrect; while some users may benefit occasionally, the speaker contrasts this with the obvious beneficiary. Option D is not mentioned as a beneficiary.
4
Which word does the speaker use to describe the routine of scrolling through feeds?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
B
Explication:
Correct: The speaker uses the specific word 'habitude' twice to describe routine scrolling. Option A is close in meaning and plausible, but the passage specifically uses 'habitude.' Option C and D are not the precise words used; they are related ideas but not the word the question asks for.
5
Why does the speaker describe some bias as 'latent'?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker explains that the latent bias is 'tiny at first' and that 'latent effects pile up,' implying the bias is hidden and accumulates. Option B is wrong; legality is not discussed. Option C is incorrect because the speaker does not claim biases are always intentional. Option D is wrong because the passage suggests the effects are lasting, not merely temporary.
6
What does the speaker imply should be done about algorithms?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: The speaker warns against accepting algorithms as a 'final arbiter' and suggests treating them 'as an assistant' to reduce harm, implying human oversight. Option B is exactly what the speaker warns against. Option C is not proposed; the speaker suggests change, not outright bans. Option D contradicts the speaker, who identifies advertisers as beneficiaries in some cases but does not recommend giving them control.
7
In this passage, what does 'beneficiary' most nearly mean?
Réponse incorrecte
Réponse correcte:
A
Explication:
Correct: 'Beneficiary' is used to refer to those who gain from the system, such as the platform or advertisers. Option B is wrong; a 'rule' is not the meaning. Option C confuses 'beneficiary' with the emotion 'forlorn.' Option D confuses 'beneficiary' with 'latent bias,' which are distinct concepts in the passage.
