WRITING
Write a paragraph (80 – 100 words) to describe a way of modern
5 communication. You can use the ideas in 4 or your own ideas.
Suggested answer:

Making a video call is a modern way of communication. A video call is a
phone call via the Internet. It transmits live images of the speakers with a
webcam or camera on smart devices. Video calls are time-saving because
people do not need to travel to meet and still see and hear each other in
real time. They help both family members and business partners keep
contact with each other regardless of geographic distances. However,
video calls require high-speed Internet access, so not all the time people
can make one. I believe that when the Internet becomes better in the
future, video calls will be an even more common tool of communication.
