My grandparents often talk about the past when communication was difficult—they had to write letters and wait weeks for a response. But now, we use smartphones to make video calls with relatives far away instantly. My parents used to carry heavy cameras with film rolls when travelling. Taking photos was troublesome because they had to wait for the film to be developed. Now, we use a digital camera to take as many pictures as we want and share them on social media right away. My mom also loves the smart refrigerator—it tracks food inside and reminds her to buy supplies before they run out. For me, the most useful invention is the ebook. I don’t need to carry heavy books to school; I can store hundreds of books on my tablet. This saves space and makes reading easier. I realise that inventions are not just cool technologies, but tools that connect our family and make our life warmer. 1. What did the writer’s grandparents use to do to communicate with faraway relatives? A. Make video calls B. Write letters C. Use smartphones D. Send emails 2. Why was taking photos troublesome for the writer’s parents in the past? A. Cameras were too light B. They couldn’t take many pictures C. They had to wait for film development D.

For example, “I will watch one 15-minute math video and finish 10 exercises.” Second, choose good websites or apps that teachers recommend. Third, balance online and offline learning. Don’t forget to read books, discuss with friends, and do experiments in real life.
