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

Page 2 of 9


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
VI. WRITING
1. Complete the second sentence so that it means the same as the first. Use the word
in brackets. You may need to change the word.
Here is an example.
0. The bookshop is opposite the library.
_________________________ a bookshop opposite the library. (THERE)

2. Many people think that the invention of the Internet has changed people’s life.

I think the Internet has changed our life in many ways (and for the better). First, thanks to the Internet, we
can communicate with friends and relatives very easily and comfortably. We may make on-line calls or chat
with them using Facebook or other applications. (These are not only convenient but also cheaper). Second,
the way students study has also changed. Students now can read online. They can send their assignments to
their teachers by emails. Teachers can also give feedback online using special applications. Furthermore,
the way we entertain has also changed considerably. We can now see films online, listen to music on
Youtube, play games online. In conclusion, we are grateful to the Internet inventor because our life has
become more comfortable than ever thanks to the use of the Internet.
