Dear Facility Manager,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant noise disturbance stemming from the campus gym, which has inadvertently disrupted study sessions in the adjacent dormitories.

Part C: Academic Discussion
Write a response to the academic discussion. You have 10 minutes.
Academic Discussion Topic
Your professor is teaching a class in Psychology. During the lecture, the professor asks the following question.
Professor
Welcome, class. Today, we are discussing the impact of social media on children’s mental health and safety. Apart from the technological benefits these platforms offer, there are growing concerns about privacy, online bullying, and exposure to inappropriate content. Considering these issues, should children under the age of 13 be legally banned from using all social media?
Emma
I believe children under 13 should be banned from all social media because they are too young to understand the risks. Social media can expose them to harmful content and online bullying. Protecting their mental health is a practical reason to support the ban.
Liam
I disagree with Emma. Instead of a total ban, we should educate children and parents about safe social media use. Banning might limit children’s ability to learn digital skills, which are important today.
While Emma argues that banning children under 13 protects them from online harm, she overlooks the fundamental mechanism of digital literacy development. The core issue is not the presence of social media itself but the lack of structured education to facilitate safe engagement. For instance, Singapore’s Ministry of Education has integrated digital literacy into its curriculum, which has significantly reduced cyberbullying cases among young users. This example illustrates that with proper guidance, children can navigate social media safely. The ban, in contrast, might foster ignorance and delay critical skill acquisition vital in today’s digital economy. Therefore, legally banning under-13s neglects the paradigm shift necessary to empower children with autonomy and resilience in digital environments.
Score: 30/30
Logic
This student identified a key flaw in the opposing view by focusing on digital literacy rather than outright banning. They used a real-world example from Singapore’s education system, which gives the argument strong evidence and a deeper logical explanation.

I think children under 13 should not use social media because it might be dangerous for them. They might see bad things or be bullied online. For example, if a child uses social media without knowing the risks, they could have problems with their feelings and school. But instead of banning social media completely, it is better to teach children and parents how to be safe. This way, children learn about dangers and how to protect themselves while using social media. So we need both safety and education together.
Score: 25/30
Logic
This essay is clear and logical but uses general ideas without real examples. It is good but not as strong as the perfect score essay that used a real-world case and deeper reasoning.
