English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
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 opinion poll shows that young adults are addicted to phone calls whereas teenagers are hooked on sending messages.
On average, teenagers send 435 messages a month while young adults dial 290 phone calls 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:
KEY WORDS:
Advantages:
- (to) rely on... / (to) trust
- more privacy
Drawbacks:
- teenagers "don't wanna talk" to people => refuge
- danger => impersonal
Voc: (to) dial a call (composer sur le cadran)
HW: get prepared to talk about the document and about your personal use of the cell phone.
