四、实践练习
请根据以下主题，写一段包含逻辑连接词的文字：
主题：
“社交媒体对人际关系的影响”
 
参考答案：
“Social media has revolutionized the way we interact with others. On the one hand, it allows us to connect with people from all over the world, breaking geographical barriers and expanding our social circles. For instance, through platforms like Facebook and Instagram, we can easily keep in touch with friends and family, share updates, and stay informed about their lives. Moreover, social media also provides opportunities for people with similar interests to form communities and support networks.
However, there are also downsides to social media. For example, excessive use of these platforms can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, as face-to-face interactions are replaced by virtual ones. Additionally, the pressure to present a perfect life online can contribute to anxiety and low self-esteem among users.
In conclusion, while social media offers numerous benefits in terms of connectivity and information sharing, it is crucial to use it responsibly to avoid its negative impacts. Therefore, we should strive to maintain a balance between online and offline interactions to foster healthier relationships.”
