I think social media can create different opportunities to keep in touch with families in France. Social media allows people to have instant communication with those who are far from us. However, I can say that with the influence of social media, people tend to lack face-to-face interaction and the ability to express their emotions. As a result, this can lead to self-isolation and a lack of emotional expression.

To enhance the lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to social media and relationships. For example, instead of 'instant communication,' you could use 'real-time interaction' or 'synchronous communication.' Also, explore synonyms for common words to demonstrate a broader range.
