B

Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.

I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.

Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.

I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.

4. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi?

A. Unexpected.

B. Angry.

C. Shocked.

D. Depressed.

5. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi?

A. By writing regularly.

B. By text message.

C. By video calls.

D. By telegram.

6. What was the writer’s life like without Wi-Fi?

A. Dull.

B. Lonely.

C. Active.

D. Relaxing.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A life without Wi-Fi

B. Different views on the Internet

C. The disadvantages of Wi-Fi

D. How to use the Internet

C
