Do you think modern technology (like video calls) can replace in-person family gatherings?

Hi, Mary! Your answer about technology and family gatherings was thoughtful and well explained. You clearly expressed the differences between online communication and real in-person interactions. I also liked how you mentioned the future possibilities of VR, that was a creative and logical point. Keep practicing expressing your opinions like this. You\'re improving your clarity and confidence each lesson.
