Is the art of conversation dying? The other
day, my wife 16 two teenage children did
something we haven’t 17 for ages. It didn’t
require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter.
But we all 18 it so much we’re thinking of doing
it again sometime.
We had a conversation. The kind of real,
live conversation that was 19 when I was growing
up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text
messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the 20 of
communicating face-to-face. We all know 21 young
people are out on a date(约会)these days, they spend most of that time 22 their
mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to 23 communicating
with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually 24 to
them.
If we carry on like this,in the future, we’ll lose the
use of our 25 . What do you think? E-mail me, and who
knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!
