Main Body
The most obvious trend is that users spend a huge amount of time on video platforms. YouTube is the clear leader, accounting for 40.6% of all internet traffic and 57.4% of the streaming sector. Instagram follows with 16% of total traffic, while other platforms like TikTok and Netflix have much smaller shares of around 5.5% each.
最明顯的趨勢是用戶花費大量時間在影片平台。YouTube 是明顯的領先者，佔所有網路流量的 40.6%，在串流領域佔 57.4%。Instagram 緊隨其後，佔總流量的 16%，而 TikTok 和 Netflix 等其他平台的佔有率則低得多，各自約為 5.5%。
Furthermore, there is a noticeable change in how people communicate. The data shows that users prefer messaging tools built into social media rather than separate apps. For instance, Instagram leads the messaging category with 58.5%, followed by Facebook at 26.4%. In contrast, WhatsApp and Telegram have much lower shares in this area. However, WhatsApp still dominates voice calls over the internet (VoIP), handling 61.2% of all voice communications.

Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Comparison' Upgrade
To move from A2 to B2, you must stop using simple words like big, small, or good and start using Analytical Modifiers. In this text, the author doesn't just say things are different; they describe how they are different.
🔍 The Power Shift
Look at how the text describes the data. Instead of saying "YouTube is big," it uses:
- "The clear leader" This shows total dominance.
- "Close behind" This describes a very small gap between two things.
- "Split more evenly" This tells us the difference is minimal.
🛠️ B2 Tool: 'Contrast Connectors'
An A2 student uses but. A B2 student uses Contrast Markers to guide the reader. Notice these three from the article:
- Furthermore (Adding more evidence to a point)
- In contrast (Showing a direct opposite)
- However (Introducing a surprising exception)
💡 Pro-Tip: Precision Verbs
Stop using has or is for everything. The article uses "accounting for" and "dominates."
- A2: YouTube has 40% of the traffic.
- B2: YouTube accounts for 40% of the traffic.
By replacing basic verbs with these specific terms, your English sounds more professional and academic.
