Reading comprehension
1. Read the article. Choose from the sentences (A–G) the one which fits each gap (1–5). There are
two extra sentences which you do not need to use.

a. The way we read is very different now, compared to the past.

d. Apps like Snapchat make messages that we can only see for a short time.
e. People often don’t talk to people face-to-face and prefer talking in messages.
f. However, the way we read in the future will probably become more active.
g. But this also means that we often see photos of people eating their dinner and taking photos of
themselves.

2. Read the article again and answer the questions in your own words.

1. What is bad about sharing?


2. How does the internet make us think about the size of the planet?
3. Will we answer messages more slowly or more quickly in the future?
4. How long were newspaper articles in the past?
5. How will we use screens in the future?

The way we communicate


Over thirty-three percent of the world’s population is on the internet and this means the way we communicate
is very different now than in the past. (1) These sites are all about sharing with other people. They can tell us
news about our friends and others. (2) Maybe some people share too much, and it’s better to keep some
things to ourselves. But sharing is just one part of communication that is different because of the internet.
The internet is also very international. We can share our lives with people all around the world. But what
does this mean for communication? Well, we can find out about places we want to visit and what other
cultures are like. This can make us think about different ways of living. It also makes the world feel smaller.
We also now spend more time texting and instant messaging. In this way, we have more time to think about
replies, compared to in spoken conversations. But will this change in the future? (3) This means that we need
to reply quicker. These apps will probably be more popular in the future, and they create a more life-like way
to communicate.
The internet also makes us do certain things more quickly. (4) Back then, people bought newspapers and read
articles with thousands of words. Now, online news stories are shorter and many readers get bored if articles
have too many words. (5) People will use their screens to search and look at information on the internet
now, but in just a few years’ time, screens will probably be di erent. Like in the film Iron Man 2, we might
just move our head and arms to find things on a screen in the air!
