## Need to know

Before starting to work in this theme, check with a classmate how much you know about 'contacts' already.
To do so:

1. For yourself, make a list of ways you can contact other people.
   Then compare your list to that of a classmate.
2. Together, answer the following questions:
   1. How did people communicate a long time ago?
      What ways of communication existed?
      What ways of communication didn't exist?
   2. How do people communicate nowadays (= tegenwoordig)?
   3. How do you communicate with friends and family?
      Is your way of communication with friends and family different to the way you communicate with people who are not your family or friends? How?
   4. Think of five English words that have to do with communication.
