1-Before you read Lily’s post, discuss the following:

• How often do you use technology?

• What do you use it for?

2-Reading comprehension: Read Lily’s post about technology and write true or false.
Correct the false ones.

Hi friends. Today I’ll write about technology. Are you into it? I AM! I think modern
technology is cool. Whatsapp messages and emails are faster than letters and postcards. It’s
easier to communicate now than in the past. Did you know that the first computers were
very expensive, but now they are cheaper! ☺

We’ve got a computer at home. We usually use it to surf the Internet and play games. Now
that we are in a pandemic, we often use it to have ZOOM lessons with our school teachers.

My big brother’s favourite technology is his tablet. Grandma often says to him, ‘Why are you
always on your tablet?’ They didn’t have tablets when they were young, and they couldn’t
play online games or find info on the Internet. My brother says, ‘I love my tablet. It’s the
best invention!’ But I think Grandma and Grandpa are right. Sometimes, it’s better to leave
aside electronic gadgets and read a book, talk to your family/friends or do outdoor activities.
What do you think?
 FALSE 1) Letters and postcards are faster than WhatsApp messages and

e-mails.

TRUE 2) Computers are cheaper now than they were in the past.

FALSE3) They use their computer to surf the Internet, play games and have ZOOM
lessons with their friends.

FALSE 4) Lily’s big brother favourite technology is his phone.
