Too much TikTok can be harmful to brain development.
TikTok is a popular social media platform that is known for its short videos. The maximum length for a video is now 10 minutes, but many of them are only a few seconds long. Experts fear that the short style of TikTok videos is leading to an effect called the “TikTok brain.”
When we watch videos with content that we find interesting, the reward centers of the brain are activated. Our brain releases a chemical called dopamine, which we also get from activities like exercising and listening to music. This creates feelings of pleasure that we want to repeat again and again. Many TikTok users show signs of addiction when watching the short and interesting clips. It can be very difficult for them to stop watching these short videos, even when they have something more important to do. This behavior trains the brain to expect instant satisfaction, thus making people's attention spans shorter in the long run.
TikTok is a fun way to kill time, but developing a TikTok brain is not good. To deal with this problem, the platform has created features that help parents manage their children's usage. Users should be conscious of how long they spend on TikTok and remember to take breaks from the app regularly.

當別人向你提議某件事時,你或許想要婉拒對方或再多認真思考一下,卻不知道如何用英文正確表達嗎?以下就來介紹「考慮一下」的不同說法:
♦ I’ll think about it. 我再考慮看看。
這是最常見的說法之一,通常用在有很高機率會拒絕對方的時候。
例: A: Would you like to come to the party this Saturday?
B: I’ll think about it.
甲:你想來參加這週六的派對嗎?
乙:我再考慮看看。

1. remember to V 記得要去做⋯⋯
例: Did you remember to turn off the fan after using it?
吹完電風扇後你有記得關掉嗎?
2. remember V-ing 記得曾經做過⋯⋯
例: I remember leaving the keys on the table, but now they’re gone.
我記得把鑰匙放在桌子上,但現在它們不見了。
★ 類似用法
1. forget to V 忘了要去做⋯⋯
例: Don’t forget to hand in your homework on time.
別忘了要準時交作業。
2. forget V-ing 忘了曾經做過⋯⋯
例: I forgot writing these letters, so I’m surprised that Henry kept all of them.

TikTok 是一個時下流行的社群媒體平臺,以其短影音而聞名。現在影片的最長長度是十分鐘,但許多影片的長度只有幾秒鐘。專家擔心,TikTok 短影音的風格正導致一種被稱為「抖音腦」的結果。
當我們觀看內容有趣的影片時,大腦的酬償中樞就會被活化。我們的大腦會釋放一種叫做多巴胺的化學物質,我們也可以從運動和聽音樂等活動中獲取。這會產生我們想要一次又一次重複體驗的愉悅感。許多 TikTok 用戶在觀看簡短且有趣的短片時會表現出上癮的跡象。即使他們有更重要的事情要做,他們也很難停止觀看這些短影音。這種行為會訓練大腦期待立即的滿足感,從長遠來看會使人們注意力持續的時間因此縮短。
TikTok 是一種消磨時間的有趣方式,但形成抖音腦並不好。為了解決這個問題,該平臺創建了幫助家長管理孩子使用情形的功能。用戶應該意識到他們在 TikTok 上所花費的時間,並記得要從該應用程式
