Text 1A15

Last year, I had a strange dream. My father and I were walking through a canal with difficulty as thousands of fish were released around us. In the dream, I knew that the fish thought they were drowning, as if they had to face death before becoming adults. The next day, my father told me that when I was three, he had taken me to see fish being put into a pond. I could not remember it, but the vision had stayed in my mind. Memories, like images, can return years later in unexpected ways.

Today, it is common to see old images suddenly appear online. We spend hours looking at photos that record our daily lives in ways never seen before. For young people under twenty-five, who have grown up with social media, childhood is no longer private or mysterious. According to Kate Eichhorn, a media historian at the New School, this constant exposure is sure to affect how identity develops, although we are not yet sure exactly how.

Eichhorn explains that there are two sides. On the positive side, children and teenagers have more control than before. In the past, adults were the ones who decided how childhood should be remembered, using books, photo albums, or home videos. Today, young people can create and share their own images without depending on adults. This gives them the power to tell their own stories and decide what to remember about their lives.

On the negative side, social media can make it difficult to leave the past behind. We are not the only ones posting—our friends and families also share moments of our lives, often without asking us. This makes it hard to forget mistakes or change identities. Eichhorn warns that the danger now is not that childhood disappears, but that it might never end, because the past is always visible online.

It would, indeed, be surprising if we could see painful memories as finished and gone. But most difficult experiences are not captured on screens. Social media shows only part of life, often the happy or triumphant side, and leaves out the tears and struggles. What remains online is rarely the full truth, but fragments that stay with us, shaping how we remember ourselves.

Nausicaa Renner. How Social Media Shapes Our Identity.

In text 1A15, the author mentions that childhood is no longer private or mysterious for those who grew up with social media. The main idea behind this statement is that

Achildhood has disappeared because children no longer have any control over their privacy.
Badults are the only ones who can record and control children’s memories.
Cyoung people now have complete freedom to forget their past mistakes.
Dchildhood experiences are more exposed today because of constant online sharing.
Esocial media prevents people from remembering their past.

Leitura e interpretação de texto – Compreensão de ideia principal

Gabarito: D. A afirmação de que a infância "já não é mais privada ou misteriosa" para quem cresceu com redes sociais reflete a ideia de que as experiências infantis estão mais expostas devido ao compartilhamento constante online. O texto sustenta isso ao mencionar a "exposição constante" ("constant exposure") e o fato de que amigos e familiares postam momentos da vida das pessoas, muitas vezes sem permissão, tornando o passado sempre visível.

O texto de Nausicaa Renner discute como as redes sociais afetam a memória e a identidade. A frase-chave está no segundo parágrafo:

"For young people under twenty-five, who have grown up with social media, childhood is no longer private or mysterious."

A autora continua explicando que a exposição constante provavelmente afeta o desenvolvimento da identidade. Mais adiante, no lado negativo, ela afirma:

"This makes it hard to forget mistakes or change identities. Eichhorn warns that the danger now is not that childhood disappears, but that it might never end, because the past is always visible online."

Portanto, a ideia principal é que a infância está mais exposta, e não que desapareceu ou que os adultos controlam as lembranças.

Alternativa A — ❌ Incorreta

Afirma que a infância desapareceu porque as crianças não têm mais controle sobre sua privacidade. O texto, no entanto, aponta que as crianças têm mais controle hoje ("children and teenagers have more control than before" – lado positivo) e que o perigo não é a infância desaparecer, mas nunca terminar. A alternativa exagera e distorce o texto.

Alternativa B — ❌ Incorreta

Diz que os adultos são os únicos que podem registrar e controlar as memórias das crianças. O texto afirma justamente o contrário: no passado os adultos decidiam, mas hoje os jovens podem criar e compartilhar suas próprias imagens sem depender de adultos ("Today, young people can create and share their own images without depending on adults.").

Alternativa C — ❌ Incorreta

Alega que os jovens têm liberdade completa para esquecer erros passados. O texto mostra o oposto: as redes sociais dificultam esquecer, porque amigos e familiares postam momentos e o passado fica visível ("This makes it hard to forget mistakes or change identities.").

Alternativa D — ✅ Correta

Afirma que as experiências da infância estão mais expostas hoje devido ao compartilhamento constante online. Essa é exatamente a conclusão do autor: a infância deixou de ser privada porque tudo é postado e permanece online. A exposição constante é citada no segundo parágrafo: "this constant exposure is sure to affect how identity develops".

Alternativa E — ❌ Incorreta

Diz que as redes sociais impedem as pessoas de lembrar do passado. Na verdade, o texto afirma que elas dificultam o esquecimento ("hard to forget"), ou seja, mantêm as lembranças vivas. A alternativa inverte o sentido.

Gabarito: D.
