【簡介】 Introduction Welcome to All Things Tech 1. This first of two books is designed to help English learners get a better grasp on the topics that are shaping our modern world. Everyone knows how important technology is today—it is an essential part of everything from politics to economics to entertainment. There are few job positions today that won’t require at least some knowledge of technology, and that’s where these books can help you. In each of this book’s 12 units, students are presented with two articles related to the topic of the unit. These topics cover many areas of modern technology, such as computer basics, electronic communications, cloud computing, semiconductors, space exploration, artificial intelligence, and green energy. In addition, students then get to experience a conversation that uses much of the new vocabulary that was learned in the unit. Each unit contains: Warm-up: This section combines questions and graphics which get students thinking about the topic they will be reading about. Vocabulary: Students are exposed to the vocabulary they will be learning right from the beginning to aid in their understanding of the texts that follow. Two Readings: Both of these readings relate to the topic of the unit and are followed by a set of questions to evaluate reading comprehension, along with an explanation and short quiz of a grammar point used in the reading. Conversation: Each unit’s conversation uses the majority of the vocabulary learned in the two readings. The conversation is then followed by a set of comprehension questions to test how well students understood what they heard. Discussion questions: At the end of each unit are a few discussion questions that you can use to start discussions in class or on your own with other students or even native English speakers. If you’re looking for a way to improve your English skills when it comes to reading and talking about technology, All Things Tech 1 is the book for you!
