Exercise 4. USE IT! Work in pairs. Do you think Typho's dad is right to ban phones at meal times? When do your partents let you use the computer? (Làm việc theo cặp. Em có nghĩ rằng bố của Typho đúng khi cấm sử dụng điện thoại trong bữa ăn? Bố mẹ em cho em sử dụng máy tính khi nào?)

Trả lời:

In my opinion, I agree with Typho's dad. We shouldn't use mobile phones at meal times, because: firstly, It's time for eating. Then we should focus on food to enjoy it; Secondly, if you focus on your phone during mealtime, aren't you missing the opportunity to talk to your family? Thirdly, science has shown that eating while using a phone is also bad for health. So I think it isn't a good habit and we should break it. My parents let me use the computer only 1 hours a day. If I need internet to do my homework, I can use around 2 hours.
