Example: Choisissez la bonne réponse.: Selon une étude récente, un adolescent français passe en moyenne trois heures par jour devant un écran en dehors des cours. Les chercheurs ne condamnent pas pour autant les réseaux sociaux : ils rappellent qu’ils permettent aussi de garder le contact avec des amis éloignés. En revanche, ils s’inquiètent du temps d’écran le soir, qui retarde l’endormissement et réduit la qualité du sommeil. Leur conseil : éteindre son téléphone une heure avant de se coucher.
Choisissez la bonne réponse.
Les chercheurs…
A. veulent interdire les réseaux sociaux.
B. trouvent que trois heures d’écran, c’est raisonnable.
C. s’inquiètent surtout des écrans le soir.
D. pensent que les amis éloignés posent problème.
