Listen to the reading passage

Ms. Ritto, who was the writing teacher, wanted to give a message about smart phones to her students. She wanted to boost her students' imagination to do this and wrote the sentences "Mrs. Hopkins was lying terribly ill in her bed. Her daughter, Mary was doing something on her smart phone. Mr. Hopkins came in and saw this. Then, he asked angrily 'Are you looking after your smart phone or your mother, Mary?' on the board. Then, she went on to give the instruction "Now, I want you to create a collaborative story. You will work in pairs and each pair will add their sentences to the lines on the board by turn and we will have a story.'' The students worked for a couple of minutes and then, a student came to the board. He wrote "Mary did not say a word." Then followed another pair by writing "She went on doing something on her smart phone." Another pair added "The same thing happened the following day." Sentences of the pairs followed each other: "Mr. Hopkins got angrier and angrier but nothing changed." "Mary kept looking at her smart phone." "One day, when Mr.Hopkins came in, Mary hugged him and said 'Daddy, we are not desperate! Mum will walk again, hooray!'" "Mr. Hopkins just looked and asked how that could happen." "I shared the problem on a health forum and asked for help." "People recommended some doctors and I contacted one of them." "He read the reports and told me about a new cure.’’ "I made an appointment. Can you take us there?" "They went there and her mother recovered." "Mr. Hopkins apologized to Mary for being rude to her about the smart phone." And finally, the last sentence was written on the board: "If you use them for cooperation at the right time, smart phones and social media are great, dad." Ms. Ritto was surprised. She didn’t know what to say. She asked the students how they had managed to create such a nice story without any serious preparation. One of the students admitted that it was a story from the literature class. They all laughed and she congratulated her students before she left the classroom.
