Lan: Did you mean Minh's grandpa can read online newspapers?

Nam: Yeah. He had already started using the computers in the local library to access the Internet when Minh's dad bought him a tablet PC four months ago.

Lan: That's interesting! Great to see that more and more older people are beginning to use new technologies.

Nam: Well, my grandparents and most of their friends still read print newspapers, listen to the radio, watch TV or DVDs. I think they may find it challenging to learn how to use the Net.

Lan: I agree, but they can always find someone to walk them through the process. I think the problem is that many older people may not understand the benefits of online information.

Nam: Yes, but once they start using the Internet they can also connect with friends and family members any time.

Lan: That's right. The benefits are enormous! I'd be lost without my social networking sites. It would be impossible for me to do my school projects without the Internet.

Nam: Personally, I think you are addicted to social media and rely too much on the Internet. You can still use other media such as print newspapers, magazines and books, or radio and television for different purposes.

2 Quickly read the text and choose the best heading. (Nhanh chóng đọc các văn bản và chọn tiêu đề hay nhất.)

a. The history of print media b. Forms of mass media

c. The advent of the Digital Media Age d. Means of mobile communication

The mass media are means of communication, such as books, newspapers, recordings, radio, movies, television, mobile phones and the Internet, that can reach a large audience.

Although the first printed books had appeared long before in China, the term 'mass media ' we use today was coined with the creation of print media, which started in Europe in the Middle Ages. This is also considered the first example of mass media due to the large number of readers then.

Since the mid-twentieth century new technologies have been developed, which helped to diversify mass media and make them an inseparable part of our lives. The role of the mass media is not only to entertain and amuse the masses. Its most important role is to provide information and news about events in different parts of the world as they occur. Educating people about their rights and responsibilities is another function of mass media.

Until recently, mass media forms were classified into six categories according to the sequence of

their advent: print, recordings, cinema, radio, television and the Internet. Each form has its own characteristic content types, creative artists and business models. In the early 21st century, with the explosion of mobile communication technology, the mobile phone has emerged as a new and unique media channel. Video and computer games have also developed into a mass media form.

The Internet and mobile communication is now the most popular means of receiving information and interacting with people through email, instant messaging, apps, search engines, blogs. sooaJ networks and other services. Most print and broadcast media have a presence on the web by having video adverts or Quick Response Codes (QR Codes) that link to specific websites.

Each form of mass media has had an important impact on society, for example, books have helped people to educate themselves while newspapers have recorded daily events. Magazines were the first visual medium before the advent of television, which together with radio, brought entertainment and news programmes into people's homes. However, all these media had to change and adapt to the advent of the Internet and Digital Media Age. New digital media forms are more personal and social as they allow people to connect with each other, collaborate and share nformation and personalise their experiences.

Nam: Sounds interesting! So how did you improve your English? Lan: First, I registered and created an account with my nickname. Then I downloaded some free language learning apps on my smartphone and started revising and learning new vocabulary on the go. I could practise while on the bus on my way to school or while jogging in the park.

Nam: Wow! So you don't play online games anymore?

Lan: Of course I do, but I focus on language games such as Scrabble and crossword puzzles.

Nam: Really? I didn't know you were keen on these games.

Aren't they boring?

Lan: Not if you connect and compete with other online gamers.

You can also make friends and have fun.

Nam: Really? But you still need a tutor to explain things or correct your English if you make a mistake.

Lan: Exactly. Some social networking sites help you to connect with native speakers so you can ask questions or have your writing drafts corrected.

Nam: Sounds good! I saw that you uploaded some vocabulary and grammar flashcards on all your social media sites. How did you create them?

Lan: I used a free programme available on my smartphone.

Charts and graphs represent a series of data but they are different from each other. Graphs are mainly used to represent variation in values over a period of time. Charts are used to give information about the frequency of different quantities in a single pictorial representation.To describe a pie chart we should specify the information (content) and proportion of each segment, which can be measured in percentages (%) or fractions (e.g. one-third, a quarter).

The pie chart shows students' preferred online resources recorded in a survey carried out at Intel Secondary School Library in 2014. Following is a brief description of the students'preferences.

We can see that a majority of students played interactive games, which rank the first at 30%. Fiction e-books line in the second at 20%, and are at 10% less than interactive games. Online magazines rank the third at 18% while non-fiction e-books account for 15%. Online dictionaries are the fifth library resource at 11%. Only a minority of students, or 6%, used science

journals, which is the least popular of all resources, and used fivefold less than the most preferred resource, interactive games.

To conclude, the dominant form of online resources used by the students at Intel Secondary School Library is interactive games. Of all the other resources - fiction e-books, online magazines, non-fiction e-books, online dictionaries and science journals - students used science journals the least.

Audio script:

Mai: What do you think of the video clips we watched in our English classes?

Nam: I like them because they are interesting. The language is authentic and they helped me to improve my English... How about you?

Mai: Well, I think some videos were interesting and helped me to learn things like new expressions, but most of them were just entertaining and time-consuming.

Nam: Which ones?

Mai: You know, many of us had already watched the series about Mr Bean and The IT Crowd before we saw them in class. I think it was a waste of time to watch them again.

Nam: I had also seen most of the episodes, but I still liked watching them in class with no subtitles. And I enjoyed discussing the ideas with my classmates.

Mai: Well, I didn't have much to say... These series are very popular and repeated frequently on many domestic TV channels. You can also see them on many social media websites for free. I think our English teacher should choose less familiar films or TV series.

Nam: You might be right. My brother's teacher asks her students to 'vote' for the videos they want to watch, and sometimes even lets them bring in DVDs related to the themes of the lessons.

Mai: Sounds like a great idea!

Nam: Yes, but I still think that our teacher should choose the content. Not all videos are suitable to watch in class.
