Online user reviews have become essential for consumers who increasingly rely on them to evaluate products and services before purchasing. The business models of online review platforms like Yelp and TripAdvisor and e-commerce sites like Amazon and Expedia critically depend on them. Should such sites pay users to encourage them to write reviews? According to a new study, that is a bad idea.

## Explanation

A strong response clearly introduces the topic of digital feedback, presents the core argument regarding financial incentives, and concludes with the study's findings using clear transition words.

## Hints

- Focus on maintaining a steady pace and clear pronunciation throughout the passage.
- Use natural pauses at commas and periods to help the listener follow your argument.
