It is time for Mrs. Brown' s class. Mrs. Brown asks her students a question: Do smartphones bring us closer together or drive (迫使) us further apart? The students show great interest in the discussion.
David:
I think smartphones drive us further apart. When you sit in a busy restaurant, watch the guests waiting for their meals. They don' t talk much to one another. Although smartphones are helpful in our everyday lives, we should not have all our communication behind a screen.
Alice:
In my opinion, smartphones bring us closer together. When my family moved to Qingdao last year, I had to leave my friends in Nanjing. But smartphones help us keep in touch ( 保持联系).
James:
It depends. Smartphones can bring us closer to people living far. Many people talk more on their smartphones than with the people around them. It is hard to say. Still, one thing is clear: If we can use our smartphones properly, everything will be OK.
A. We also need eye contact (眼神交流) and face-to-face talks. B. Let's listen to what they are saying. C. We need to travel far to meet a friend. D. You will see almost everyone looking at the screen of their smartphone. E. We can communicate with each other fast and easily through smartphones. F. However, they make us further apart from those around us. |
