1. Read the text below then answer the following question

about advantages or disadvantages of reading online:

Welcome back to the weekly podcast! Today we have an interesting

theme. We are going to talk about reading in the digital age. It is

important to mention that nowadays, the new generation of young

people are not into reading very much. They prefer to spend time on

the Internet, chatting, uploading and watching posts, pictures and

videos. All these activities make them lose the ability to concentrate,

so they feel insecure and they are usually overloaded with

information. What can we do about it? Well … it would be fantastic

if we could lock them up in the closest library (LAUGHS), but

obviously, that is not an option. That’s why we have to find a

balance between the internet and reading time. If you would like us

to talk about a specific topic next week, don’t forget to contact us!
