 Read an interview with two students, Minh and Tom. Then tick (✓) the speaker 
 2 of each sentence. 
 MC: Hi everyone. Today, I’ll ask some members of the Technology Club to predict how people will communicate in 
 the future. Let’s meet Minh and Tom. 
 Minh & Tom: Hi everyone.
 MC: Minh and Tom, how do you and your friends keep in contact? 
 Minh: Well, we mostly text each other. We also send voice messages. 
 Tom: I often see my friends in person, but sometimes we call via the Internet. 
 MC: Do you think these ways of communication will still be popular in 50 years? 
 Tom: Not really. We’ll use more advanced ways, like telepathy. We’ll pass our thoughts to another person without 
 talking and ... 
 MC: Hold on. I think only a very few people may have this ability. 
 Minh: Yes, but in the future, everyone will be able to use telepathy. We’ll wear a tiny device to catch our thoughts 
 and send them to other people. 
 MC: Cool! But will there be any problems with telepathy? 
 Tom: Hmm, telepathy devices can “read” one’s mind, so bad people might take advantage of it to control 
 someone else. 
 MC: Besides that, some people will be too lazy to even talk anymore. READING
