What do you think this app does? Why might some people need it?

I think this app relates to mealtimes. I can see the kid's smartphone and parent’s smartphone. This app may prevent children from using devices while eating breakfast, lunch or dinner. In my opinion, some people, especially some parents, need it because nowadays, children always glue their eyes to the screen all the time, even when they are eating. Therefore, most parents use this app to help their kids have quality time when they are having meals.

I am sure that this app would increase the number of arguments in my family. Firstly, I do not want my parents to lock my phones through this app while I am using it. If this app is on my phones, I will try to delete it. Secondly, people always want to do something that they are not allowed to do. The arguments between my parents and I can become more seriously. This app is not suitable to avoid people from using it.

6. Work in pairs. Listen to four speakers and decide which speaker sounds
Speaker 1: We all know what it’s like to argue with our family. It’s just part of life, isn’t it? Well, not necessarily. Sometimes, family arguments can become a habit ... a habit that is harmful and upsetting for the people involved. Our three-week course will teach you some simple tricks and techniques for breaking that habit. Do the course on your own or better still, persuade other members of your family to come along with you. Speaker 2: When I was younger, I had a lot of arguments with my parents ... and with my sister too. I won a few of them, but mostly I lost. Then I realised what I was doing wrong: I wasn’t preparing for the arguments. So I started treating them more like exams. I actually started revising for my family arguments! I prepared all my reasons, my examples. You really should take the same approach – it works like magic! Now I hardly ever lose an argument at home.

Speaker 3: Hi, Poppy, it’s me. Look, this family meal is on Sunday ... that’s this Sunday. Mum and Dad will be there, and so will Grandad. I’m not sure about Uncle John. But then, we’ve never been sure about Uncle John. Anyway, I really need to know that you’re going to be there. Without you, it might be a disaster. You know how Grandad always tries to start an argument when we’re out. He’s much better when you’re there. So give me a call and tell me you’re coming. Please! Speaker 4: I left home when I was seventeen after an argument with my parents, and to be honest, it was the best thing that happened to me. I had to grow up quickly! At nineteen, I started my own business. Now I live in a £5-million penthouse in London and run a business with more than a thousand employees. That family argument gave me the push I needed. Of course, I’ve got a lot of talent too!

8. SPEAKING Work in pairs. Decide which of these topics is most likely to cause arguments in your family and why. Are there any others you can think of? Compare your ideas with the class
In my opinion, too much time spent on social media and games is the most likely to cause arguments in the family. For example, I have one younger brother, he is 14 years old, and he really likes playing on his smartphone. He can spend all of his free time using smartphone for entertainment and games. As a result, he ignores his studying and my mom and my dad have to force him to study a lot but he doesn't like it. This makes my parents angry and unsatisfied. They always shout at my brother, and he is becoming more and more aggressive. Therefore, my family always has an argument about this problem. Some topics that cause arguments in families that I can think of are: what to see on TV, where to hang out, what kind of household appliance to buy, how to use money…
