26. FIn what ways are young people influenced by violent media? 12.1 Vocabulary 1 Discuss in pairs. 2 Write a paragraph giving your recommendations. Include one of your sentences from Exercise D, question 3. According to McDonald (2009), frequent use of violent interactive games encourages young people to be aggressive in real life. This is supported by Fiske, who asserted that ‘Research unequivocally demonstrates that media violence facilitates aggression’ (Gross, 2005, p. 506). This may be particularly the case for children who have difficulty socializing in real life and who spend a considerable amount of time playing video games online. Therefore, I suggest that service providers should promote parental control software more widely, demonstrating how parents can block or allow specific games, decide the content and level of games, and restrict the amount of time their children spend playing online.

27. A Discuss the following questions. 12.2 Reading 1 Who do you think is most likely to be affected by cyberbullying?

47. H Read the text on the right. 12.2 Reading A student has written about some of the factors that contributed to Nathalie’s problems. The quotations and paraphrases aren’t correct. Can you spot the mistakes and correct them?

48. Skills bank Incorporating Quotations • Copy the original words exactly. • Add emphasis with italics and write [emphasis added]. • Add words which are not in the original but are necessary to fully understand the quotation out of context. Put the extra word(s) in brackets. • Use an introductory verb. • Don’t forget the quotation marks. • Make the quote fit the grammar of the sentence. • Show any missing words with ‘…’ . Do not quote more than one sentence within the body of a paragraph. If you want to quote two or three sentences, put in a colon and write the quote as indented text, sothat it clearly stands out from the body of your essay. However, think very carefully before you include a long quote. It is usually better to paraphrase in this case.

49. H Read the text on the right. 12.2 Reading Note the grammar here: either As Coastman explains or Coastman explains that, but not both. This is a common mistake. As Coastman (2009) explains, Nathalie ... Coastman (2009) explains that ... 1 The words which are the same as the original need quotation marks. 2 Some words have been left out. Where this happens, three dots are used to signify an omission. It is important that a quote is exactly the same as the original. Any changes (such as omitting words) need to be clearly shown. 3 The page number should be given in brackets at the end of the quote. ‘... her mother had become very protective ..., encouraging Nathalie to stay at home in the evenings ...’ . (p. 36 )

50. H Read the text on the right. 12.2 Reading 1 Note that much of the information here has been paraphrased – which is the better option for information. 2 If you want to emphasize a part of a quote, use italics and then put [emphasis added] after the quote. Some girls started teasing Nathalie, but this ‘escalated into outright bullying [emphasis added]’. (p. 36) 1 You do not need a verb of saying with According to. 2 When referring to the same place in the same source, use ibid. instead of the full source reference. If it is the same publication (but not the same place in the text), use op. cit. 3 It is important to make a quotation fit the grammar of a sentence. Failing to do this properly is a common mistake. 4 The quotation marks must be added to the words which are the same as the source. 5 The page number should be given in brackets at the end of the quote. According to Coastman (ibid.), the girls excluded Nathalie from their online chats, ‘at times, blocking her from their conversations.’ (p. 36)
