WEEK 1
THE EMPTY
Classroom?
PORTFOLIO
(TASK 1)
 Write a short outcome reflection. (12-14 lines). You must state
your opinion/reflection on the article: “THE FUN THEY
HAD” (pages 198, 199 and 200). Use your own words and at least 5
new words from the first part of UNIT 7.
I think the reflection of all this is that sometimes technology can be

overwhelming. There are situations where it is better to stay with the
old versions. A great example we had in the education sector was in the
pandemic because in my case I had virtual classes, and it was a crazy
change. Not only did I have to upgrade my internet, but also buy a
camera for the computer and more. Many of us realized that we learn
and feel better in a face-to-face school, than in virtual. And honestly, I
got better marks in person than virtually. In the case of the story, we
can see that Margie is surprised that in her grandfather's time there
were no mechanical teachers and instead people taught. Therefore, we
can say that despite having technology at their fingertips, children look
scornful in their way of learning and bet on the teaching of their
grandparents.
WEEK 2
MANAGING
YOUR
Smartphone
PORTFOLIO
(TASK 2)
 Go to Unit 8 and write 10 sentences by using 10 new words either
from “VOCABULARY SECTION” (page 226) or from “Reading
One: ADDICTED TO YOUR SMART PHONE?” (pages 227, 228,
229, and 230). Be creative and write complete sentences.
1. Gadget:
The gadgets are useful for everyone, it is
simply marvelous!
2. Urge:
I felt such a strong urge to help that poor
person.
3. Compulsive:
People with compulsive gambling need to go to
a psychiatrist.
4. Trigger:
Sleeping too late can trigger heart problems
and a lack of concentration.
5. Temptation:
I can’t diet because every time I see chocolate
it’s like a big temptation for me.
6. Dependency:
My family is worried about my dependency on
coffee every morning.
7. Anxiety:
Usually, important exams make me feel very
anxious.
8. Dysfunction:
There are some drugs that should be used with
caution in people with liver dysfunction.
9. Shun:
If you are looking for a program that motivates
your kids to eat better, shuns sweets, and be
active, Lazy Town could be the exact program
you are looking for.
10.Wean:
Fostering trust in a relationship is one of the
best things to wean thoughts of negativity.
PORTFOLIO
(TASK 3)
 Write an imaginary conversation. (16-18 lines). Imagine that you are
a parent (mother or father) being interviewed by a famous host who is
asking you what the advantages and disadvantages that Internet can
offer to your children are. Also, you must give recommendations
and final thoughts to the audience based on the
article: “UNPLUGGING WIRED KIDS: A VACATION FROM
TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA” (pages 236 & 237). Feel
free to use your own questions. Be creative!
Host: Welcome to "The Morning Show".

Today I have a very special guest for you. She is a content creator who is
very popular among Internet users. However, a few years ago she
decided to retire to live a new experience, being a mom. Now she has
rejoined us again, and she is with us to tell us about her experience and
points of view with the Internet and children.
Host: So, let's welcome... Penelope Olenska!
Guest: Hi, Jimmy! Thank you very much for the invitation, it's a great
honor to be here. And as you explained being able to rejoin again, fills
me with happiness.
Host: So, tell us, did you find it hard to stop making content? Or did
you feel you already needed a break?
Guest: I found it very hard to stop making content, as it was something

I was used to and enjoyed very much. I didn't want to take a break, even
within months of giving birth I wanted to pick up the camera. But as my
son Ethan got older, I understood that I had made the right decision,
because being a mom is complicated and time-consuming.
Host: How old is little Ethan now?
Guest: He is four years old.
Host: And being a mom who is very close to technology, have you had
any problems with Ethan with electronic devices?
Guest: Of course, at first my husband and I found it fascinating that he

did very well with a tablet we bought him. He would install a lot of
games, go on YouTube, and watch videos. You could tell he knew what
he was doing and unfortunately, we didn't give him a time limit, so he
started to get somewhat addicted to the tablet.
Host: And were you able to stop this addiction?
Guest: Thanks to the information we gathered from the internet and

with willpower, yes.
Host: I just wanted to get to the topic of recommendations and

reflections, but first I would like to ask you... What do you think are the
advantages and disadvantages of offering children the Internet? Because
from what you told me there are two sides to the coin since on the one
hand it was fascinating for little Ethan to handle the tablet, but on the
other hand he developed a vice. Isn't that, right?
Guest: That's right, we’ll let me start with the advantages. The first
thing I noticed is that it has many forms of entertainment, the kids won't
get bored and in the case of a rainy day when they can't go outside, it's
very useful. Secondly, there are a lot of infinite educational resources,
nowadays there are many educational games that can be downloaded and
make children learn easily. And finally, it helps to develop the technical
skills of our children. On the other hand, on the disadvantages, we have.
First, as I said before, it can create addiction which is terrible, since it is
difficult for them to give up this bad habit. Second, it can create a
sedentary lifestyle, and this is undoubtedly the most negative thing
because it can cause health problems. Finally, it can worsen family
communication, which is sad, since children, especially at an early age,
need good family communication to be able to live together.
Host: These were very good points of view, so mom or dad and the
audience that is listening to us should take these important points into
account. To end this interview, I wanted to ask you another question.
Guest: All right.
Host: Would you mind giving recommendations and final thoughts to

the audience based on the article: "UNPLUGGING CONNECTED
CHILDREN: A VACATION FROM TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL
NETWORKS"? Since we know you are familiar with this article since
you recommended it for your stories.
Guest: Sure. I think my recommendation is that you must be persistent

in the methods that you use with your children because it's not going to
do any good if one day, I spend more time with my son at the park so
that he forgets about electronic devices and then the next day I leave him
again within reach of all the electronic devices. It wouldn't make sense,
so moms and dads must be persistent with their children, even if it's
difficult. And the reflection has to do with the recommendation because
in the article we can see that even though her 10-year-old son insisted on
the phone, she persisted and that's how her son managed to forget about
the cell phone. So, I think that would be the reflection.
Host: Thank you so much for giving us your point of view, that was
Penelope Olenska, everybody!
Thank you!
