STUDENT LIFE AND TECHNOLOGY
By Debra Mallin, a business student at Greyfort University
Last Saturday, as my grandfather drove me and my sister home from a dinner to
celebrate his birthday, he got frustrated at not being able to remember the name of the singer
of a song he’d just heard on the radio. Without a second thought, I grabbed my smart phone,
searched for the song and found the name, Bob Dylan. For me and my friends, this is a
completely natural course of action, but it totally astonished my grandfather, who didn’t
understand how I had checked the information so quickly. My sister and I laughed and
explained, but afterwards, it made me think about how much I depend on technology.
The list of the ways I use technology is endless: writing, planning, socializing,
communicating and shopping, to name but a few. When I reflected on its impact on my
education, I saw that, for my fellow students and I, technology has been significant in many
ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather and the smart phone, he had asked me more
about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life
compared to previous generations. My sister caught my eye and we exchanged a smile. But
whereas she was thinking our grandfather was just being a typical 65-year-old, I could see
his point.
Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of
previous generations, we have so many more as well. We still have walk-in libraries
available to us, and I can see why some students choose to find and use resources in these
distraction-free locations. However, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these
libraries with many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search

Trang 6/12
for your chosen study topic online can immediately provide access to a huge range of
resources. At universities, interaction between students and university staff is another area
that has changed considerably with developments in technology. We can have face-to-face
time with our tutors when we need it, and also communicate using our electronic gadgets
from the comfort of our homes, or on the bus. The most popular means of doing this is via
instant messaging or social media – email is often considered too slow, and it has become
unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra
strain on the university’s academic support team, who usually have to answer the queries as
they come in, we students are greatly benefitted.
It’s important that we remember to appreciate how much the advances in technology
have given us. Electronic devices such as tablets, smart phones, and laptops are now
standard equipment in most classrooms and lecture halls, and why shouldn’t they be? The
replacement of textbooks with tablets allows students the luxury of having up-to-date,
interactive and even personalized learning materials, with the added benefit of them not
costing the earth.
When we compare the student life of the past and that of the present day, it is
tempting to focus on the obvious differences when it comes to technology. In actual fact,
students are doing what they’ve always done: embracing the resources available and
adapting them in ways which allow them to work more efficiently and to live more
enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to
value each innovation as it happens.
1. What does the writer illustrate by describing the incident in the car?
A. the older generation’s frustration at people’s dependence on technology
B. how unaware young people are of some effects of technology
C. the difference in attitudes to technology between two generations
D. how technology helps different generations communicate
2. What did the writer think of her grandfather’s comment, mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. It showed how out-of-date he was.
B. It had an element of truth in it.
C. It was an annoying thing to say.
D. It made her feel sorry for him.
3. What does the writer say about getting study resources from libraries?
A. She considers libraries more preferable places for study than homes.
B. She cannot understand why anyone chooses to go to a library now.
C. She appreciates the fact that people can still study in libraries if they want to.
D. She thinks libraries are limited by the quantity of resources they can store.
4. What disadvantages of new technology does the writer mention in the third paragraph?
A. Those who can afford the best gadgets gain an unfair advantage.
B. Sometimes slow internet connections make communication difficult.

Trang 7/12
 C. A heavier workload is created for teaching staff at the university.
D. Students cannot escape from dealing with university issues.
5. What is the purpose of the question “why shouldn’t they be?” in the fourth paragraph?
A. to express an opinion
B. to introduce some problems
C. to make a criticism
D. to indicate uncertainty
6. What is the writer’s conclusion about students today in the final paragraph?
A. They have such different lives to previous generations that it’s unwise to compare them.
B. They deal better with changes than previous generations did.
C. They take advantage of new resources more quickly then previous generations did.
D. They are behaving in a similar way to previous generations of students.
Your answers:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Part 4. You are going to read an article about groups run by volunteers in their local
community. For each question, choose one group A, B or C. The groups may be chosen
more than once. (0.5 point)
FUTURE-FRIENDLY AWARDS
A. Cyclestreets
You’re keen to get on your bike, but you’re not so keen on bumping over poor roads,
sweating up hills or riding between all the large trucks on the main roads. Where can you
go? The answer is to ask www.cyclestreets.net, a journey-planning website for cyclists. “We
aim to give newcomers the confidence to start cycling – with all its environmental and
health benefits – and to improve routes for those who already cycle,” says spokesperson
Martin Lucas-Smith. The not-for-profit group is based in Cambridge, but routes are
available in all regions nationwide. Cyclists can get involved, too, by contributing
photographs and reporting obstructions or other issues. “We’ve done years of unpaid work
and winning this award would help us make some major improvements, which the cyclists
who contact us have been asking for,” says Martin.
B. The Project Group
The Project Group, from the small town of Oswestry, helps people with health
problems and learning disabilities to build their self-esteem through creativity. This year,
the group has focused on using recycled materials, including making vases from waste
paper and pictures from recycled glass. Last year, it helped stage an exhibition of sculptures
entirely created from rubbish such as crisp packets, plastic bags and odd shoes. It has also
created posters for the local Wildlife Trust, and helped other community groups. “The
whole organisation is user-led, and our artwork can now be admired in many public
Trang 8/12
buildings and spaces in our region,” says spokeswoman Jo Davis. “We also hope to use the
award to develop a retail range of recycled products to help fund our activities.”
C. Cleanstream Carpets
Every year, an astonishing three-and-a-half million carpet tiles are thrown away in
South Wales and south-west England. Recognising that many tiles could be reused, a group
of volunteers formed Cleanstream Carpets to collect and supply them at affordable prices to
local organisations and community groups. Volunteers collect and grade tiles before selling
them from Cleanstream’s premises near Rhondda. Satisfied customers range from local
schools to a community furniture bank in Bedfordshire, and the tiles have even been used to
build refuges for endangered animals such as great crested newts. “Our unique selling point
is the guarantee that the product is diverted from landfill,” says one volunteer. “Winning the
award would give us encouragement to explore other ways of using other recycled
materials.”
Which of the group _______?
1. wants to respond to feedback from users of a service it provides
2. has put the results of its work on show to the public
3. provides a pick-up service for its users
4. plans to start selling things to make money
5. noticed that something that was still useful was going to waste
Your answers:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Part 5. The article below has four sentences which have been removed. Choose from
sentences A-E the one which best fits each gap. There is one extra sentence that you do
not need to use. (0.4 point)
