2. Read the conversation between Phong and his mother, and answer the questions.
Phong: Mum, how did you use to entertain yourself when you were a teenager?
Mother: Well, kids in my days did a lot of physical activities in the fresh air: playing football, riding bikes, flying kites... We used nature as our playground. We also spent a lot of time with each other, playing and talking face to face, not on a screen like today.
Phong: It sounds nice, actually.
Mother: Yes. And this lifestyle kept us healthy and in shape. We didn`t know about obesity. Girls didn`t worry about getting fat and going on a diet.
Phong: Didn`t you eat out with your friends?
Mother: No, we ate at home. Sometimes we just had a snack from a street vendor.
Phong: I like street food. And did you watch much TV?
Mother: Only wealthy households had a TV. Instead, we read a lot. Unlike watching television, you had to use your imagination when you read. Ah! Now I remember - I used to keep a diary.
Phong: A diary? What did you write in it?
Mother: Lots of things: events, feelings, my private thoughts... you know.
Phong: Nowadays we just post them on Facebook.
Mother: I know. Life has changed so much, my darling.
