Listen and read.

Inventions for education
Phong: Dad, I've saved some money since Tet holiday. I think I'll buy something new
for my studies.
Dad: Good idea, Phong. What do you want to buy?
Phong: I'm not sure. It's hard to choose between a smartphone and a laptop. They're
both useful and I've wanted either of them for a long time. What do you think, Dad?
Dad: Perhaps a laptop is a better choice. Since laptops were invented, they've allowed
us to study better and work faster. They've completely changed our lives in the last 20
years.
Phong: That's true, Dad. But smartphones have also improved the way we work and
study.

Inventions for education
Dad: Really? I didn't know smartphones were suitable for learning.
Phong: Well, it's actually a lot of fun to learn with educational apps. It's also very
convenient for learners to use them. Some of my classmates love using them on their
smartphones. The apps allow them to communicate and learn at the same time.
Dad: I didn't know that! There have been so many valuable inventions. Hmm …
Perhaps you should ask your teacher. She may be able to help you decide.
