Burlington Books 4 REVISION WORKSHEETS Written Comprehension An Article 1 Read the text. Then complete the sentences on the following page. Growing Up with Technology Many people think that children don’t interact with people as much as in the past and they don’t know how to be polite any more. They believe that technology is causing this problem. For example, today people communicate by sending short messages on their mobile phones. They rarely include the words please or thank you. Also, applications with virtual assistance, such as Siri, don’t use any polite words when they give answers. Children believe that these impolite conversations are normal, so they are growing up without important social skills. The Amazon company believes that it has got the answer to this problem – a new app for children’s phones. The name of the Amazon app is FreeTime and children use it with the virtual assistant Alexa. If children are bored, they can simply say, “Alexa, I’m bored.” Alexa responds by providing suggestions of appropriate activities for the children to do. It can even read books aloud to them. Alexa has got a “Magic Word” feature. When users ask the virtual assistant a question, the app teaches them to say please and thank you when they are talking on it. Alexa also gives a very polite reply such as, “Thank you for asking so nicely.” Amazon hopes children will copy the app and it will teach them how to be more polite. Some people don’t agree that this new technology is good for children. Some parents prefer to read to their children or for their children to read books by themselves in order to improve their reading skills. Bored children can also improve their creative skills by thinking of their own ideas for recreation. Josh Golin, director of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, thinks that children should turn off their phones and play together more. According to experts, children learn important social skills through play and face-to-face interaction. Golin also thinks that parents should spend more time with their children and teach them how to be polite. Advanced Think Ahead 3 Photocopiable © Burlington Books 5 REVISION WORKSHEETS 1.
