Last week was the first after the experiment of living without screens<\/strong> during seven days. It was a time to analyse the pros<\/strong> and cons<\/strong> of such an activity and we shared all our discoveries. It was very difficult for some, but the general opinion was that it had a lot of advantages and everybody claimed to have changed their routines in some way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discovered that these experiment was not new and that it has been held in USA<\/strong> since 1994. This fact made us realize<\/strong> that screen usage<\/strong> is a worldwide problem<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found a lot of texts<\/strong> about the perils of screens and, of course, they were all in English<\/strong>. This is what generally happens when you make a search on the Internet, that the vast majority of texts are in English<\/strong>. Nowadays, with the use of Google translator<\/strong>, there are no major problems to understand the gist of any kind of text but it is not a good idea to rely exclusively on the answers provided by AI tools<\/strong>. It is much more benefitial to develop strategies that enable you to understand any kind of text<\/strong>. In this occasion, the texts about screens provided the perfect opportunity to practise how to locate specific information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of this activity was not to read and understand a whole text but to be able to find the answer of some questions<\/strong>. The questions were in Catalan and, in groups we had to critically analyze<\/strong> all the aspects of the text to select the correct text from a collection<\/strong> and then locate the answer on it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titles<\/strong> and images <\/strong>were useful to discard texts<\/strong> that were not related to the topic, for instance, and they also paid notice to words in bold<\/strong>, that offered hints about where in the text the information would be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact of being able to understand texts that were not adapted was very encouraging too! English is not as difficult as it may seem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
