（单词翻译）

 　　Alex: So Maria, do your parents use any of the social media sites.

 
　　Maria: They do. Both my parents are on Facebook. My mum is not that active on Facebook. She has a profile1 and she has pictures and I think she's online whenever she wants to get in touch with her kids mostly, which is me and my sister. But my father he uses it regularly and I sometimes get weird2 like comments from him. It's not that bad, but, for example, when I'm traveling and he can't call me, he just writes like that looks awesome3 to weird pictures and it kind of gets awkward4 sometimes. But they do have, they are very active on the internet and my dad he's a journalist, so he's good with words, so whenever we have to write each other, I always get these long mails like that's very cleverly worded and humorous and it's so cool. He's so cool. My mum is more behind.
 
　　Alex: What about Skype?
 
　　Maria: Skype yes but mostly only to get in touch with me and my sister.
 
　　Alex: OK, cool. What about like do they ever have MySpace?
 
　　Maria: No, none of us have.
 
　　Alex: No, it's a word I haven't heard in a while too, MySpace?
 
　　Maria: Yeah.
 
　　Alex: What about Twitter?
 
　　Maria: I'm not active. My father keeps talking about it. I don't know if he wants to start a Twitter account because he keeps mentioning that it's kind of a good idea but he's not there. I'm not because I think I have Facebook that should be enough for me at least. I don't know if, they are not into social media so they will just like open it for fun. Google Plus is definitely5 not a solution at the moment because there is Facebook and that's like a big deal in the first place.
 
　　Alex: Have you ever wanted to de-friend your parents on Facebook?
 
　　Maria: Nope. I am very open about my Facebook profile. I never wanted to close it to anybody so I try not to, I'm trying to make sure that there won't be anything embarrassing6 on it so I manage it so there won't be any need for like de-friending them and they're not that annoying. They text me sometimes and they comment my things if it's something important but they're being nice. They're good parents.
