Read the text and answer the questions.
How do people communicate with each other in the information era? Well, first, it’s kind of strange. We can have a whole conversation with someone without actually talking. For example, we can send a message with just a look, a touch, or even a smile. And then, there’s texting and social media. With them, we can share our thoughts and feelings without saying a word out loud. It’s like we are creating a whole new language. And we can connect with each other in so many different ways, even when we’re not in the same room. Isn’t it amazing? But sometimes, I wonder if we’re really saying what we mean. Or even worse, we’re probably just hiding behind the screens and symbols, receiving false information instead of really talking to someone.
1. What is the main idea of the text?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Why does the author say today’s communication is strange?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. What does the author say about texting and social media?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. What are the problems of today’s communication?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Modern communication is strange—we connect without speaking, but it may cause misunderstandings and hiding behind screens.
We can have conversations using only looks, touches, or smiles, without actual talking.
They let us share thoughts silently, create a new language, and connect even from different places.
We may not say what we mean, hide behind screens, and get false information instead of real conversation.
