Means of communication

We communicate all the time. When we read, write, speak, watch TV, use the computer or move our bodies, we communicate ideas and feelings.

We use different means of communication for contacting other people, finding information, having fun or learning.

Interpersonal communication happens between two people:

Collective communication means that lots of people receive information at the same time.

I am sure you have heard a lot about the internet. The internet is a network of millions of computers connected to each other. Watch this video to learn more about it!
It contains a lot of information, but we need to use it properly. We find information on the internet using a search engine.

City or town?

I live in Madrid. Madrid is a city. A city has got more inhabitants than a town. The buildings are taller, and the streets are longer and wider. There is a lot of entertainment but also a lot of traffic and noise. You need to use a bus, the underground or a car to go to different places of the city. 

There are plenty of things to do in a city! Take a look at these videos!

A town is smaller than a city. There are few big shops and many people know each other. There is not much noise and the buildings are lower than in a city.
A city can be inland, like Madrid, or by the sea, like Barcelona. Some towns are on a plain, like Zamora, and other towns are in the mountains, like Albarracín.
