    Umar argues that communication using mobile phones is inferior to face-to-face communication. He cites research showing that only 45% of communication is through spoken language, with eye contact and gestures making up the remaining 55%. Umar predicts that as young people develop fewer face-to-face skills due to mobile phone use, learning how to communicate and resolve conflicts will become more difficult in the future. In contrast, Alya believes that social networking and mobile phones are beneficial for keeping in touch with friends and family, sharing photos and emotions, and maintaining safety while traveling. Alya argues that the benefits will lead to continued growth in mobile phone use.

    Reference: 0457/33 May June 2017

    ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS. CLICK AND UPLOAD CLEAR
    IMAGES OF YOUR WORK.
    SOURCE
    Alya: Social networking is a great way to keep in touch with your friends and family. It helps
    to build relationships. I can let people know what is happening and invite them to parties.
    Photographs and emoticons help others understand what I am trying to say – they help our
    conversation. You don’t even have to be in the same place to know how someone is feeling
    – ! It is so cheap that you can communicate with anyone at any time about anything.
    You can also keep safe by letting people know if you have a problem when travelling
    around. My mum says that mobile telephones are wonderful; she doesn’t worry about me
    as much. These benefits mean that the use of mobile telephones will grow.
    Umar: When talking to someone on a mobile telephone the quality of the communication is
    much worse. I can’t see faces or body language. I can’t tell what they are really thinking or if
    they are telling the truth. Expert psychologists estimate that only 45 per cent of
    communication is through spoken language. Eye contact and gestures help us to understand
    what someone is trying to say. Young people are not developing face-to-face skills like they
    used to. It is also easy to misunderstand text and social media messages. This causes
    conflict. Learning how to negotiate and talk about issues is much more difficult on social
    media. Research at the university shows that bullying is now easier; you can hide from the
    consequences. Learning how to communicate with others will become more difficult in the
    future because of mobile telephones.

    (b) Identify one prediction from Source. Explain why you think it is a prediction.
    ...................................................................................................................................................
    ‘Learning how to communicate with others will become more difficult in the future because of mobile telephones’ This is a prediction as the word ‘will’ and
    ...................................................................................................................................................
    ‘future’ tells us that the will definitely happen in the future, so is a prediction.
