1. Read what Tom and Sara thinks about the Internet. Match the correct person with
his/her opinion.
TOM. I have worked in IT for 17 years and have seen it grow and develop. It’s a fantastic tool and most
businesses rely on it these days and it’s also great for keeping in touch with friends, relatives and doing
your shopping, etc. The only downside is that it wasn't regulated correctly from day one and there are some
shocking sites and big scams going on. The Internet is now so big that I think it is difficult to get it under
control.
SARA. The Internet itself is like any other invention. Neither good nor bad. It's how it's used that makes
the difference. To me, the Internet is the greatest technological invention of all time. Before the Internet, the
world was a huge place and people on opposite sides of the world could only communicate by snail mail or
occasional phone calls as these were too expensive for regular use. The world has become a much smaller

place and the places we cannot visit have become alive to us because of it.

1. The Internet has made the world smaller.
2. The Internet is good for people to keep in touch.
3. The bad sites make the Internet bad.
4. The Internet had made one kind of communication cheaper.
5. Whether Internet is good or bad depends on the use of it.
2. Read the passage and complete the sentences. Circle A, B, or C.
Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and develop emotional
connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed, for example. This warm and
caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you want to be close to your child.

Some children with special needs – for example, children with autism and sensory sensitivities –might find
body contact difficult.
On the other hand, negative nonverbal communication – for example, a grumpy tone of voice or a frown –
when you’re doing something fun together might send the message that you don’t really want to be there.
So matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more effective. For example, a
teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size and shape.
But when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t match, your child might believe the nonverbal – after all,
what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal communication by watching you. For
example, if you approach new people in a relaxed way, your child is more likely to do the same.

1. A hug or a kiss sends the message that __________.

A. I want to be loved
2. Children with autism and sensory sensitivities find it hard to __________.
A. love
3. A frown sends the message that __________.
A. I don’t want you
4. __________ makes words more effective.
A. Using positive actions and body language
B. Combining verbal and nonverbal communication
C. Explaining a problem using body language
5. The best way for children to learn nonverbal messages is through __________.
A. observation

Hi Adam,
Teenagers in Viet Nam use the Internet for many things. In learning, the Internet helps us to find
information for our presentation. We find a lot of interesting ideas and beautiful pictures to make our
presentation more impressive. After school, the Internet gives us lots of games for entertainment. I myself
like English interactive games on the Internet. In communication, the Internet helps us to keep in touch
with friends and maintain our relationships. We love the Internet. What about in the US?
Write and let me know.
