COMPUTERS AND OUR LIVES 

Phong: Dad, you promised to reward me if I passed the English test. Well, I did!

Phong’s father: OK. What do you want-a laptop, a video game, an e-book reader, or a smartphone?

Phong: Wow. Dad. You're so generous. My old mobile phone is still good. Um... the screen of an electronic book is rather small, so I think a laptop will be my choice.

Phong’s father: What a wise choice, Phong! A laptop has lots of benefits. It's portable, so you can take it with you: it’s economical, so we don't have to spend too much money; and it’s very versatile, as it can do many things.

Phong: When you were my age, you didn't have a computer, did you? Phong’s father: Of course not. No emails, no online games. no Internet, no online shopping. no ...

Phong: How could you live without those things?

Phong’s father: We did. But computers have really changed our lives. The computer is definitely one of the greatest inventions in the world. Now, tell me what you will do with your laptop. 

Phong: I'll use it to listen to music, to chat with my friends, and to playgames.

Phong’s father: Is that ail? How about for your studies?

Phong: Yeah... I'll use it for researching topics on the Web and typing my assignments as well.

Phong’s father: Right. Use it wisely, and it will be your best friend.
