Why do people like to read the news on the Internet instead of on TV?

Tại sao mọi người thích đọc tin tức trên Internet hơn là trên truyền hình?

[POINT]Point

Many people prefer reading news online because it is faster, more flexible and easier to personalise than television.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Online news offers on-demand access, frequent updates and a much wider choice of sources.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone can check one developing story during a commute instead of waiting for a scheduled TV bulletin.

[EXTEND]Extend

The main weakness is that source choice can be confusing, so readers need to compare reliable outlets rather than assume every headline they see online is accurate.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Is the library still necessary?

Thư viện còn cần thiết nữa không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, libraries are still necessary even though much information is available online.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Public libraries provide free resources, quiet study space and community services that the internet alone cannot fully replace.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Students without a good home environment can use computers, books and desks there, while older people may receive help with digital tasks.

[EXTEND]Extend

Libraries may change their role over time, but they remain useful because they support equal access to knowledge as well as a shared physical place for learning.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

How can people find reliable information on the internet?

Mọi người có thể tìm kiếm thông tin đáng tin cậy trên internet bằng cách nào?

[POINT]Point

People can find reliable information online by checking where it comes from instead of trusting the first result.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They should look for credible sources, recent publication dates and authors with relevant expertise, then cross-check important claims with another independent source.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For health information, an official hospital or public-health website is usually safer than an anonymous social-media post.

[EXTEND]Extend

No source is perfect, but using several clear checks makes it much easier to separate dependable information from opinion, advertising or misinformation.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Do you think the internet is safe for children to use unsupervised?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng internet an toàn cho trẻ em sử dụng mà không có sự giám sát không?

[POINT]Point

I do not think the internet is fully safe for children to use without supervision.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Children can encounter harmful content, scams, strangers and privacy risks before they understand how to respond.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A young child may share personal details in a game or click a misleading link without realising the danger.

[EXTEND]Extend

Better safe than sorry applies here, so parental supervision should gradually decrease as children develop digital judgement rather than disappear completely from the beginning.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

What are the differences between old and young people when they use the Internet?

Sự khác biệt giữa người già và người trẻ khi sử dụng Internet là gì?

[POINT]Point

Younger and older people often use the internet differently, mainly because of experience and purpose.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Younger users usually have greater technical confidence and use online services for study, entertainment and social interaction, while older users may focus more on practical tasks.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A teenager might move quickly between social apps and videos, whereas an older adult uses messaging, banking or news websites.

[EXTEND]Extend

The digital divide is becoming smaller, though, as more older people gain regular experience with smartphones and online services.
