Some people think that technology will save the world and make it better; some others think that technology will ruin the society because we are too dependent on electric and electronic gadgets and machines. In my opinion we could hardly live without, for example, a computer. What is your opinion? I Hope that you know the proverb that runs as follows: “United we stand-Divided we fall” Its Russian equivalent is Один в поле не воин/В единстве сила

 So, being aware of it I am eager to offer a team task to you: Devide into three groups.

The first group will name three things that you can hardly live without.

The second group will name three things that you can sacrifice without too much reluctance.

The third group will say why people use them.

Чтение текста

Read the text ‘I couldn't live without my computer at home’, do the tasks.

I couldn't live without my computer at home.

My name is Kate. I use my computer all the time. It is like a typewriter and address book for me and it is also used for checking my spelling. Besides I can go on the Internet and discover everything about anything, it's a brilliant source of information. I've designed my own website and I'm getting loads of information for school. Besides some websites are packed with quizzes, games and competitions, it's all you need for hours of fun on your computer. You can play and learn on it. It is absolutely essential. I don't know how I ever managed without it.

But my elder sister thinks people are getting a bit too dependent on computers. She thinks that we rely on them too much. My sister says, "You can't rely on all the information, you don't know who it has been written by or where it's coming from. To be dependent on anything, especially a lifeless machine, that can quite easily break down, is not good. Besides, computers shouldn't replace seeing your friends."    

Task

Are the statements below true or false? (T, F)

1. Kate uses her PC for typing and keeping information.

2. Kate uses her computer to get information from the Internet.

3. Kate's sister thinks it's not clever to believe all facts stored on the Internet.

4. Kate's sister considers electronic devices not reliable.

What can you say about the value of computer in your life?
