They are smartphones, social media and online streaming. First, I'm going to talk about smartphones. With smartphones, we can make phone calls, send text messages, check emails, make video calls and attend video conferences. When we don't know the directions to somewhere, we can use the phone GPS to show us the shortest way to our destinations. We can also pay the bill to shop owners in just a few seconds if we've left our wallets at home. Next, I want to talk about social media. We can find out what's happening to someone, how he or she is feeling or watch a live conference on social media platforms without paying money. However, the biggest purpose of social media is interaction. Sellers can interact with a large number of their potential clients. People in a family that live far away can interact with one another. Finally, online streaming is a way of broadcasting what is happening to viewers over the Internet. Teachers can use this to teach online, and their students can have any questions answered by the teachers at that moment. The audience can also watch their favourite concerts or game shows that are taking place far away from their place. Jane is talking about the drawbacks of the inventions above. Listen and decide if each of the sentences is T (True) or F (False). 6. Smartphones can cause some health problems. ____T_____ 7.
