![]() Joe Thomas It seems very enjoyable if we use it in our free time. However, it is hard to stop scrolling(从上到下移动) through the videos once you start using it. It’s not a good idea to spend too much time on it. |
![]() Alice Brown I like the app because it allows me to share my daily life with others and make new friends. What’s more, I have won more popularity for the videos I created. Now I have more than 10 million fans. |
![]() Maria Smith It is a useful app when you have nothing to do. It provides enjoyable information includes educational facts as well. For example, I learnt how to make simple dishes from the app. |
![]() Adam Young The app is no help and there is no need for us to use it. My brother spends most of his free time on TikTok. I think he should spend more time on more meaningful things, such as exercising, doing his homework or reading. |

3 . Do you know which social app is popular with Chinese young people now? “Short videos”are certainly the most popular. A large number of young people use Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share their lives by short videos, while others have other purposes as well.
A 12-year-old user named Elsa has about 2.7 million fans on Tik Tok. The girl has shared her dancing studies on Tik Tok since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans.“I feel really glad to share happiness with people by short videos,” said Elsa.
To some other young people, they use short videos to have a quick look at the hot programs. “Because I don’t like to spend many hours watching a whole program, I hate waiting for a program to end, and I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts of hot programs,” said Wang Zhihao.
However, some young people feel bored with short videos.“Killing time is the main reason for me to watch short videos, and many short videos are almost the same, so I think they are not so useful or interesting. What’s more, I really don’t like the videos about strange and dangerous things,” said Wen Nan, another college student.
Recently, something else has appeared. Some videos are telling people what commodities are worth buying. Some short videos even sell bad commodities, and it is hard for customers to get their money back. So we should think twice before we want to buy the commodities by short videos.

7 . A recent story on TikTok showed how two neighbours found companionship (陪伴) and a new spirit in life during COVID-19, thanks to a shared love of the piano.
The story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbour playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo porto is an Italian living in London. He reached out to his neighbor and left a note, saying if he or she could play the song — My Heart Will Go On. The mystery neighbour agreed, suggesting they play together. Over time the music between the two strangers became a weekly engagement (约定).
A few weeks later, the pair finally met and “it was better than expected” shared Lo Porto. The mystery pianist happened to be a 78-year-old Polish man named Emil. “He lost his wife in December because of COVID-19 and all he has been left is the piano. And he plays at 2 p. m. every weekend because his wife loved it,” shared Lo Porto.
While Emil didn’t want to appear on any of the videos, he did share his thankfulness to Lo Porto for keeping him active during a most emotional and lonely time. When the pair offered each other companionship, Emil also made Lo Porto continue writing his own song. And Emil was happier after playing music with Lo Porto.
The bittersweet story shows the incredible influence two complete strangers can have on each other. Emil moved out at the end of February. Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Email, you changed my life. You gave me back my passion (激情), and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. You said I was your light, but you’ve been mine too. Bye, Emil. ”
