Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Will libraries be replaced by the Internet?

Liệu thư viện có bị Internet thay thế hoàn toàn?

[POINT]Point

I do not think the internet will completely replace libraries, although some traditional functions may be phased out.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Digital access is convenient, but physical libraries still provide community space, expert help and special collections that are not always available online.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A student may download articles at home but still visit a library for quiet study or access to rare materials.

[EXTEND]Extend

Libraries will probably become more digital and service-focused rather than disappear, so the relationship is more about adaptation than replacement.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Are libraries still necessary?

Thư viện ngày nay còn cần thiết không?

[POINT]Point

Libraries are still necessary because they do more than store books.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They provide equal access to computers, trusted resources, learning support and a safe community hub.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A person who cannot afford a laptop or quiet workspace can still study, search for jobs or complete official forms at a public library.

[EXTEND]Extend

Their value may be especially important for people with fewer resources, so digital information should complement libraries rather than make them disappear.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

What are the most and the least popular apps in your country?

Những ứng dụng nào phổ biến nhất và ít phổ biến nhất ở nước bạn?

[POINT]Point

Messaging, social-media, video and shopping apps are generally among the most popular, while specialised apps attract smaller groups.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Network effects make communication apps especially strong because they become more useful when many friends and relatives already use them.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A niche service for one profession may have far fewer users but still be valuable to its target group.

[EXTEND]Extend

It is really horses for courses, so popularity alone does not show whether an app is useful; different apps serve different needs.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

When was the first time you used the Internet?

Lần đầu tiên bạn sử dụng Internet là khi nào?

[POINT]Point

My first experience with the internet was when I was quite young and used it mainly for simple searches and entertainment.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

At that time, going online felt much more limited than it does now because services were slower and fewer daily tasks depended on the internet.

[EXAMPLE]Example

I remember using a computer to search for school information and visit a few basic websites.

[EXTEND]Extend

That digital memory shows how quickly the internet has changed from a special activity into something people use almost continuously.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Do you often buy things on the Internet?

Bạn có thường mua sắm trên mạng không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, I buy things online fairly often because it saves time and makes comparison easy.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

E-commerce allows customers to check prices, reviews and product choices without travelling between shops.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For routine items such as books or household goods, I can make an online purchase and have it delivered to my home.

[EXTEND]Extend

Delivery convenience is useful, although I still prefer physical shops for products where size, quality or appearance needs to be checked directly.
