Core Listening----Task 3 Script Nowadays relatives and friends live much more spread out than before. How do people overcome long distance to stay in touch in meaningful ways? And that means more than “Hi!” “How are you?”“ Everybody feeling ok?” “Good , See ya!” Cell phones, text messages, email, and computer-generated phones are all part of a battery of weapons that help friends and loved ones stay in touch.
One-on-one communication through such means helps keep relationships alive, But the vigor that flourishes in a group of folks. especially of mixed generations is hard to achieve by mail and phone. Group communications by phone is not impossible, though. For example, family membersliving all over the map can arrange a conference call to talk together. But the bill for doing this is often huge and therefore it is not recommended.
The Internet , however, provides potions we never had before. Cyber communications make it a lot easier to stay in touch. And just in time , too. Families or friends can register as an e-group at “E-Groups” or other online linking services. And then when you post an email to your formed e-group , you’re posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos to enhance the topic or keep the linkers updated on children’s growth and other progress can be great fun, too!
