Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife   1  two teenage children did something we haven’t    2  for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter. But we all   3  it so much we’re thinking of doing it again sometime.

Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the   5  of communicating face-to-face. We all know  6  young people are out on a date(約會(huì)）these days, they spend most of that time   7  their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to   8  communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually   9  to them.
