Why are mobile phones gaining popularity?

Tại sao điện thoại di động lại ngày càng phổ biến?

[POINT]Point

Mobile phones are gaining popularity because they combine many useful functions in one portable device.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Mobile connectivity gives people constant access to communication, maps, banking, entertainment and information.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A smartphone can replace a camera, ticket, music player and even parts of a computer during travel.

[EXTEND]Extend

In a sense, users have the world in their pocket, which explains their appeal, although such convenience can also create overdependence and distraction.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

What are some of the different reasons why people use the Internet?

Mọi người sử dụng Internet vì những lý do nào?

[POINT]Point

People use the internet for many reasons, but communication, information and services are probably the biggest ones.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Online communication connects people quickly, while information searches support work, study and daily decisions.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A person may message family, research a health question, watch a video and pay a bill during the same hour.

[EXTEND]Extend

Entertainment use is also important, but the internet has become much more than a leisure tool because many ordinary services now depend on online access.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

What influences can (or, does) the Internet have on children/teenagers?

Internet có thể (hoặc đang) ảnh hưởng như thế nào đến trẻ em/thanh thiếu niên?

[POINT]Point

The internet has both positive and negative influences on children and teenagers.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Those who grow up with online tools gain learning opportunities and easy communication, but they also face social comparison, distraction and harmful content.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A teenager can learn a language from free videos and then spend hours comparing their appearance with edited social-media images.

[EXTEND]Extend

The effect depends heavily on habits, guidance and platform design, so the internet itself is neither completely good nor completely bad for young people.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

Do you think parents should control what Internet sites their children visit on the Internet?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng cha mẹ nên kiểm soát những trang web mà con cái họ truy cập trên Internet không?

[POINT]Point

Parents should guide and partly control the websites younger children visit, but the level of control should change with age.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Parental controls can protect children from harmful or age-inappropriate sites while they are still developing online-safety skills.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A parent may block adult content for a young child but discuss privacy and reliable information with a teenager instead.

[EXTEND]Extend

The long-term goal should be digital trust and good judgement, because children eventually need to make safe choices without constant monitoring.

Part 3Topic 13 - Technology & InternetEasy-Intermediate

What (kinds of) people don’t use the internet?

Những người (thuộc loại người) nào không sử dụng internet?

[POINT]Point

People who do not use the internet are often older adults, people with limited access or those who deliberately prefer offline life.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Digital exclusion can result from cost, weak skills, disability or poor infrastructure rather than simple dislike.

[EXAMPLE]Example

An older person in a rural area may face both an access barrier and low technical confidence.

[EXTEND]Extend

The internet is not everyone's cup of tea, but society should still reduce unnecessary barriers because essential services are increasingly moving online.
