3. Lời giải chi tiết

Student A: Do you think people depend too much on technology? Give examples.

Student B: Yes, I think people do depend too much on technology. For example, many people use their smartphones to navigate around, even when they're in a familiar place. And some people rely on their smartphones to stay entertained, even when they're spending time with

friends and family. Another example is how people use technology to work. Many people now work from home, and they rely on their computers and the internet to do their jobs. This can be a good thing, but it can also lead to people working too much and not taking enough

breaks.

Student A: Do you think it's wrong to copy songs and films from friends rather than buying them? Why? / Why not? Expressing opinions

Student B: Yes, I believe that it's wrong to copy songs and films from friends rather than buying them. It's copyright infringement, and it's unfair to the artists and filmmakers who created the work. When you buy a song or film, you're supporting the artist or filmmaker and helping

them to continue creating new work. When you copy songs and films, you're depriving the artist or filmmaker of the income they deserve. Of course, there are some cases where it's okay to copy songs and films. For example, if you're making a backup copy for your own personal

use, that's generally okay. But if you're copying songs and films to share with other people, or if you're selling them, that's copyright infringement. I think it's important to respect the work of artists and filmmakers by buying their work. When you buy a song or film, you're not just

buying the product, you're also supporting the artist or filmmaker and helping them to continue creating new work.

Student A: I agree with you. It's important to support artists and filmmakers by buying their work.
