IV. Read the text carefully , then answer the questions below.
More and more often, the term global village is used to describe the world and its people. In a typical
village, however, everyone knows everyone else and the people face the same kinds of problems. How can the
world be a village, when it is home to almost 6 billion people? Technological changes in the past century have
made the global village possible.
Technologically, the greatest contributor to the global village is the microchip- an electronic circuit on a
tiny chip. The microchip has made satellites and computers possible. These forms of high-tech communications
allow news and ideas to travel quickly from country to country, making people aware of their neighbours around
the globe in dramatic new ways. Through the Internet, we can get information from computers anywhere and
carry on electronic conversations with people everywhere. Through television programmes transmitted by
satellite, we are exposed to many cultures.
What will happen as we move into the twenty-first century and beyond? Almost certainly the
development of the global village will continue. Not only is this possible, but the challenges that the world faces –
for example, pollution, population growth, and conflicts among peoples – will make it necessary.
Questions:
1. What does the term global village mean?
The term global village is used to describe the world and its people
2. What can we do through the Internet?
Through the Internet, we can get information from computers anywhere and carry on electronic
conversations with people everywhere
V. Make questions for underlined word or phrase
1. This river is 1 km long ....How long is this river?
2. I often play football every morning .....What do you often do every morning?
