I think this app relates to mealtimes. I can see the kid's smartphone and parent’s
smartphone. This app may prevent children from using devices while eating breakfast,
lunch or dinner. In my opinion, some people, especially some parents, need it because
nowadays, children always glue their eyes to the screen all the time, even when they
are eating. Therefore, most parents use this app to help their kids have quality time when they are having meals. Bài 2
SPEAKING Read the text and check your answer to exercise 1. Do you think the
app would increase or decrease the number of arguments in your family? Why?
(Đọc văn bản và kiểm tra câu trả lời của bạn cho bài tập 1. Bạn nghĩ ứng dụng này sẽ
làm tăng hay giảm số lần cãi vã trong gia đình bạn? Tại sao?) Tablets for dinner?
An evening meal for the family was once part of everyday life in British homes. But
this tradition has almost disappeared. Some people blame technology: children and
teenagers are so addicted to their phones and tablets that they do not want to stop
playing with them, even at mealtimes. This causes a lot of arguments in families. But
now, parents can get a free app called DinnerTime, which locks their children’s
devices at certain times of the day and tight. During those times, the children are
unable to access messages, games, or the internet. In theory, this means that parents
and children can spend more time together, eating and chatting. But will it lead to
happier families or more family arguments? Gợi ý đáp án
- What do you think this app does?
=> “Parents can get a free app called DinnerTime, which locks their children’s devices
at certain times of the day and tight. During those times, the children are unable to
access messages, games, or the internet.”
I think the app would decrease the number of arguments in your family. At first, this
can cause a lot of arguments because the children aren't used to using no devices while
eating. However, after one or two weeks, the children can have a new healthy habit
without smartphones or tablets during mealtimes. After that, they will feel free to
share everything with their family and like to have good moments when the family are
eating together. Therefore, everyone can understand each other more clearly, enjoying
quality time and even the number of arguments would decrease. Bài 3

pay attention to the tone of voice as well. For example, an urgent tone of voice
suggests that the speaker is giving a warning. Bài 5

Too much time spent on social media and games (dành quá nhiều thời gian vào mạng xã hội hoặc games)
What to eat (nên ăn gì) Gợi ý đáp án
- In my opinion, too much time spent on social media and games is the most likely to
cause arguments in the family. For example, I have one younger brother, he is 14
years old, and he really likes playing on his smartphone. He can spend all of his free
time using smartphone for entertainment and games. As a result, he ignores his
studying and my mom and my dad have to force him to study a lot but he doesn't like
it. This makes my parents angry and unsatisfied. They always shout at my brother, and
he is becoming more and more aggressive. Therefore, my family always has an argument about this problem.
- Some topics that cause arguments in families that I can think of are: what to see on
TV, where to hang out, what kind of household appliance to buy, how to use money…
