Today’s mission
Hold a debate: Is digital life good or bad for us
In this modern world, digital technology is everywhere, shaping how we live, study, and communicate. However, some people say that digital technology has also caused us some problems. Now, let’s hear what our debaters think about whether digital life is good or bad for us.
Work in groups, and choose your side (For or Against).
Search for more ideas about digital life and think of its advantages and disadvantages. Consider the following aspects:
Group work
communication
safety
learning
health
music & movies
news
Advantages:
Apps like WeChat let us chat or video-call friends/family far away anytime. For example, kids studying abroad can talk to parents daily.
Disadvantages:
People often use phones at family meals instead of talking. This makes family ties weaker. Text messages can be misunderstood. A short “OK” might sound angry, but it’s not.
Sample
communication
Advantages:
Smart home cameras let us check our house on phones when we’re out. If someone tries to break in, we get an alert.
Disadvantages:
Apps can steal our information, like our phone number. Bad people might use it to harm us.

Pros(正方)
We believe that digital life is good for us. In our opinion, it makes life much more convenient.
Digital technology helps a lot in our daily life. For example, we can shop online and get things delivered to our homes without going out. When we want to talk to friends who live far away, we can use video calls to see and chat with them easily. It also makes learning fun. We can find lots of useful information on the Internet and use apps to learn new words or do science experiments.
There is no doubt that digital life brings us many benefits.
Sample
Cons(反方)
We believe that digital life is bad for us. In our opinion, it can cause some problems.
Digital life isn’t good for our health. For example, if we spend too much time looking at screens, our eyes will feel tired and sore. Sitting in front of computers or phones for a long time can also make our backs hurt. It can also affect our relationships. For instance, when families get together, some people are always playing with their phones instead of talking to each other, which makes others feel ignored.
It’s clear that digital life has many drawbacks.
