Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife1two teenage children did something we haven't2for ages. It didn't require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries…or anything else for that matter. But we all3it so much that we're thinking of doing-it again sometime.
We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation was4when I was growing up, but it seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails... but we seem to be losing the5of communicating face to face. We all know6young people are out on a date 约会 these days, they spend most of the time7their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to 8 to communicate with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually9to them.
If we carry on like this, in the future, we'll lose the use of our10. What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!
