Model Answer:

Introduction:
Thank you for this interesting topic. I would like to talk about a time when I saw something amusing on social media.

When it was:
A few months ago, I was waiting for my flight at the airport, and as I had some time to kill, I opened Instagram to pass the time. As I was scrolling through my feed, a video caught my eye, and I couldn't help but watch it.

Where you saw it:
I was on my smartphone and I watched the video on Instagram, one of the most popular social networking platforms in the world.

What you saw:
The video was a compilation of dogs and babies doing hilarious things. There were scenes of a baby giggling uncontrollably while a puppy licked its face, a dog playing catch with a toddler, dogs and babies acting playfully over the same toys, and many more heartwarming moments. The video was well-edited, and the background music added to the overall appeal. It was a five-minute video, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I know that there are plenty of videos like this on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, but this one, in my opinion, was so intriguing that I watched it with curiosity and amusement.

And explain why you think it was interesting:
I found this video interesting because it was a great example of how social media can bring people together and spread joy. The video had millions of likes and shares, and many people commented on how it made them smile or brightened their day. It also reminded me of the positive impact that pets can have on our lives and how they can bring us so much happiness. It was interesting to see how a simple video of dogs and babies doing funny things can bring so much joy to people's lives.
