Digital life: Monica’s story
Monica can’t remember the last time she bought a stamp or visited the post office. Just five years ago, she would go there twice a week to mail packages or send handwritten letters to her cousins in another city. Now, everything happens on her phone. With a few taps, she pays bills, orders food, and even sends digital birthday cards.
Communication has changed the most. Instead of writing letters, Monica uses smartphones to send voice messages and emojis. She now uses her laptop keyboard more than her favourite blue pen, and she hasn’t bought a CD in years—music apps give her millions of songs. Even her hobbies are digital: she plays online chess with strangers worldwide and watches movies stored on her 1TB hard drive.
But sometimes, Monica feels uneasy. Last week, she found an old photo album and realised she hadn’t printed a single picture since 2020. “Technology saves time,” she says, “but I miss the smell of paper and the excitement of waiting for a letter of reply.” Recently, she’s started writing real letters again every month. She even bought a vintage(复古) typewriter! “It’s slower, but it makes me feel ... more human,” she laughs. Still, she admits(承认): the next day, she’ll probably stream a movie instead of going to the cinema.
A. Answer the questions.
()1. What is the greatest change in Monica’s life?
A. She prefers CDs to online music.
B. She sends digital messages instead of letters.
C. She starts visiting the post office more often.
D. She gives up online chess to play board games.
()2. Why does Monica feel uneasy when looking at her old photo album?
A. She realises she hasn’t printed photos.
B. She forgets how to use the camera device.
C. She worries about losing her digital photos.
D. She misses social activities of photo printing.
()3. What is Monica’s attitude towards technology?
A. She doesn’t care about technology and avoids it.
B. She believes technology can replace many things.
C. She loves technological convenience but misses the past.
D. She enjoys technology and never uses traditional devices.
B. Complete the table with the words from the passage.

C. Think and write.
Think about how digital life might change in 10 years. Write two sentences about possible changes in communication or hobbies.

A. 1. B 2. A 3. C
B. 1. bills 2. voice messages 3. time 4. smell 5. excitement
6. connection
C. One possible version: In 10 years, people may talk through 3-D videos, making communication feel like face-to-face chats. Then we can clearly see our friends’ smiles when talking.
