Work in pairs. Take turns to describe and compare the photos. Then ask and answer the following questions

1. Do you agree that in the modern world, science is a more important subject than languages? Give reasons.

• I think both science and languages are important in the modern world. Science helps us understand the world around us and develop new technologies that improve our lives. Meanwhile, languages are essential for communication and understanding other cultures, which is becoming increasingly important as the world becomes more connected. It really depends on what a person's goals and interests are.

2. Do you think technology sometimes makes it harder for people to communicate with each other? Why? / Why not?

• Yes, I think technology can sometimes make it harder for people to communicate with each other, especially if they rely too much on technology to communicate. For example, if people only communicate through social media and text messaging, they may miss out on important nonverbal cues and tone of voice that can convey meaning and emotion. Also, technology can create barriers between people who have different levels of access or understanding of technology. However, technology can also enhance communication by allowing people to connect across distances and share information quickly and easily.
