1. How is technology used in schools in your country? Well, there is a computer in most classrooms nowadays. Teachers prepare materials at home
to show their students in class
．
The computer is always connected to a projector, so that teachers
can display (=show) pictures, graphs, even movies to their students. It makes it easier for students
to understand what the teacher is talking about. In addition, it can attract students’ attention and
make class livelier. On top of this, in Fujian, there are electric fans hanging from the ceiling in
each classroom, because temperatures can get very high here. There might be air-conditioners or
heaters in more modern or rich schools across the country.
2. How is the use of technology in education likely to change in the future? Well, I really believe that in a few years, every student will have his or her own laptop, and
students will send their homework only through emails, rather than handwrite essays and exercises.
I think that students will also have access to more online books, and teachers will have to adapt to
these changes
．
Teachers will probably have to type everything, and create blogs where students
could ask questions and find the relevant information they need.
3. How is technology used in homes in your country? There is a lot to be said here. Technology has become part of every single aspect of our
lives
．
At home, every household has a TV, sometimes two, actually. People now buy large flat
screens to hang on the wall. The quality of the image is stunning. On top of this, everyone has a
DVD player in order to entertain the whole family with movies. I would say that most families in
China also own a computer, desktop or laptop, sometimes both. Computers can be used for work,
as well as for entertainment. You can download music or movies; you can chat with your friends
without leaving the house; you can even shop online. It has definitely changed our lives. In the
kitchen, technology can be found everywhere: we have a fridge and a freezer to keep food for
weeks
．
Every modern house is well-equipped with a stove and hot plates to cook very fast. A lot of
families buy a microwave and a kettle to boil water in an instant. There is a ventilation system too
to get rid of the cooking smell in the kitchen. On top of all this, you can add the washing machine,
the possible dryer, the alarm clock in your bedroom, the air-conditioner and the heater, the
water-heater in the bathroom, and I am sure that I am forgetting other appliances.
