Exercise 3. Read and make up your own questions about the text “The family who turned back the clock”.
The Jones family have nine TV, 6 computers, 3 cars, and every domestic appliance. What would their life be like without them? Melanie Adams reports This family have chosen to fill their home with every conceivable gadget. What happens if all the props of modern living are removed? The Jones family was asked to turn back the clock fifty years and to switch off all their laborsaving gadgets and push-button entertainment for three days. They were banned from opening the freezer to get out fish fingers and oven chips, to use electronic razor, mobile phones and cars. The much-dreamed three days got under way! Old-fashioned meals, games, and entertainment were planned for the evenings. After eating together at the kitchen table, they sat playing cards, putting off doing the washing-up because they all hated doing that. Carol was surprised at how long everything took. ‘By the time I had washed up the breakfast things and got back from walking the children to school, it was nearly lunchtime. Getting to the shops, which normally takes five minutes in the car, took at least an hour, so it was impossible just to pop out for a loaf of bread’ Although Carol enjoyed having a slower, more relaxed pace of life. Also, the lack of electronic entertainment, particularly the TV, had a dramatic effect on the children. They got on much better together and seemed to enjoy each other’s company more, although they clearly believed that they were suffering.
