Do people spend too much time looking at digital screens?

Liệu mọi người có dành quá nhiều thời gian nhìn vào màn hình kỹ thuật số không?

[POINT]Point

Many people probably spend too much time looking at digital screens because work, study and entertainment all use the same devices.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Long screen time can contribute to digital eye strain, poor posture and sedentary behaviour.

[EXAMPLE]Example

An office worker may use a computer all day and then spend several more hours on a phone at night.

[EXTEND]Extend

People should give their eyes a break regularly and include movement in the day instead of assuming screen use is harmless simply because it is normal.

Do you think that parents should limit the time that their children spend using their mobile phones?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng cha mẹ nên giới hạn thời gian con cái sử dụng điện thoại di động không?

[POINT]Point

Parents should set reasonable limits on children's mobile-phone use, especially at night and during study.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Clear screen limits can protect sleep quality, concentration and family interaction.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A family might ask children to cut back on phone use after a certain hour and keep devices outside bedrooms overnight.

[EXTEND]Extend

Rules should change with age and responsibility, because the goal is to teach healthy self-control rather than monitor every minute of a child's digital life.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Are many people in your country addicted to playing computer games?

Ở nước bạn có nhiều người nghiện chơi game máy tính không?

[POINT]Point

Some people in my country do have serious problems with gaming, but most players are not addicted.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Gaming addiction involves loss of control and compulsive play that begins to damage sleep, study, work or relationships.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A person who spends almost every waking hour gaming and repeatedly fails to stop despite problems may need support.

[EXTEND]Extend

High gaming time alone is not enough to label addiction; the key issue is whether the behaviour causes significant harm and cannot be controlled.

What are the most popular and least popular apps in VietNam?

Những ứng dụng nào phổ biến nhất và ít phổ biến nhất tại Việt Nam?

[POINT]Point

In Vietnam, messaging, social-media, video and shopping apps are generally among the most popular categories, while highly specialised apps tend to have smaller audiences.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

App popularity depends on network effects, usefulness and local habits.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A messaging app becomes more valuable when most friends, relatives and colleagues already use it, whereas a niche app may serve only one profession or hobby.

[EXTEND]Extend

Exact rankings change quickly, so it is more reliable to compare broad categories than claim one fixed list of the most and least popular apps.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

What’s the difference between the Internet and television?

Internet và truyền hình khác nhau ở điểm nào?

[POINT]Point

The main difference is that the internet is interactive and on-demand, while traditional television mainly follows a broadcast model.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

People can log on, search, comment, upload and choose content through interactive media, whereas television usually sends scheduled programmes to viewers.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Online users can watch a video whenever they want and respond immediately, while a TV audience has much less control.

[EXTEND]Extend

The internet puts enormous choice at your fingertips, although television can still be simpler for shared live events and passive viewing.
