Условие.

8 A. Read the text silently and then out loud.

Pay attention to:

• your sounds and intonation;

• logical pauses;

• the tempo of reading.

The Internet has brought a serious technological change into our life. Different people react differently to it. Some of them can hardly imagine their lives without the Internet, while others say that this change is irrelevant⁴, unnecessary or even frightening⁵.

For many of these individuals computers represent a threat to their freedom and independence.

Many of them think that in the future all decisions will be taken by machines. But machines are not human beings, so they cannot feel and estimate⁶ possible emotional reactions of this or that society. This is frightening, as human lives will more and more depend on machines. Such people often use the Internet to get the necessary information but they have little idea of how computers work. The unknown often seems mysterious and difficult to understand.

B. Put 5 questions on the text (general, alternative, disjunctive, wh-question, the question to the subject) and write them down.
