موضوع امتحان بكالوريا 2009 في اللغة الإنجليزية مع الحل – شعبة لغات أجنبية

📌 Text:

Technology has transformed the way we live, work, and communicate. The internet, in particular, has made the world a smaller place by connecting people from different continents in real time. Social media platforms allow us to share ideas, experiences, and cultures instantly. However, this digital revolution also has a darker side. Excessive use of technology can lead to addiction, social isolation, and a decline in face-to-face communication. Moreover, the spread of misinformation and cyberbullying are serious concerns. The challenge for the modern generation is to harness the benefits of technology while avoiding its pitfalls.
