3rd ESO REVIEW

A) READING AND COMPREHENSION:1. Read the article, then complete the sentences. Growing Up with TechnologyMany people think that children 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 assistants, 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 has got an answer to this problem – a new app for children’s phones called FreeTime. The app has got a “Magic Word” feature. Users ask the virtual assistant, Alexa, 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 the app will teach children how to be more polite.Some people don’t think this new technology can help. According to experts, children should turn off their phones and play together more. They learn important social skills through play and face-to-face interaction. Experts also believe that parents should spend more time with their children and teach them how to be polite. 1.
