    1) Look at the letters the children from Viet Nam and Sweden sent to each other in a penfriend project. Why do you think they chose this way to communicate with each other?

     

    ĐÁP ÁN:

    I think, they chose this way because there are at least 5 other benefits to letter writing:

       + Reading and writing skills will be improved as students practice their writing skills and organize their thoughts onto paper.

       + The pen pal develops compassion and understanding of other cultures and values.

       + The pen pal promotes many life skills, including the development of social skills.

       + Letter writing promotes patience.

       + Writing to a pen pal develops a child's curiosity.

     

    2) Read the text. 

    COMMUNICATION IN THE FUTURE: WHAT IS THERE FOR US?

    About fifty students in two schools in Ha Noi, Viet Nam, and Umea, Sweden have been exchanging letters in a penfriend project since 2013. ‘I love to write. You can even stick something on the letter, like this tiny sweet!’ said Linh, from Ha Noi about the project. From the Sweden end, Anders said, ‘It’s so nice to open and read real letters!’ But will this be our future communication? It’s said that in a couple of decades we’ll be using telepathy and holography.

    Telepathy uses a tiny device placed into our heads. Information will be sent and received directly to and from our brains. We’ll be communicating just by thought over the network! Holography, a video-conference technology with three-dimensional images, will help us interact in real-time in completely different places.

    Impressed? Maybe, but not everyone thinks the cyberworld will replace the real world. Like the children in the penfriend project, I prefer to chat with my friends over a cup of tea and enjoy their company - life is more meaningful that way!

    2. What are the two ways of future communication mentioned in the text? Explain how they work.

    ĐÁP ÁN:

    1. They love to write and read real letters/ one student likes to send sweets with the letters as well.

    2. They are telepathy and holography. One student uses a tiny device in our head to communicate by thought over the network. Holography gives three-dimensional images and we will be able to interact with each other in real-time.

    3. She prefers to use real, face-to-face communication because she thinks this makes life more interesting.
