Hey,

today we first did a quick recap of what had been said in previous lessons and in particular things about mobile phone usage (conclusion of the opinion poll). Then we listened to the document again and here is what we said about it:

Conclusion of the study:

The report / study / poll shows that students between the ages of 18 and 24 are addicted to calling.
They dial 290 phone calls a month.
The study also shows that teenagers between 13 and 17 are not addicted to calling, they are hooked on sending text messages . They send an average of 435 messages a month.

 

Finally, we tried to understand if the opinions of the interviewees were positive or negative. Here is what we wrote in the chart:

The poll shows that people think it can be an advantage or a drawback:

• Advantages:

-> more privacy

• Drawbacks:

-> refuge
-> dangerous -> impersonal

HW: get prepared to talk about the document and about your personal use of the cell phone.
