English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey,
today you first talked about your personal mobile phone usage thanks to an opinion poll (a questionnaire / a study). Here is what we said and the conclusions we drew:
Conclusion of the study:
Many students in class spend a lot of time sending text messages. For instance, Laurianne sends an average of 150 text messages a day*. It corresponds to about 1 message every two minutes*. However, the students in this class are not addicted to / hooked on calling. The largest package is a 2 hour-package. On average, students spend 1 hour a month* on the phone. Alexia admits that it would be bizarre if she didn’t have her mobile. It would be difficult to do without it.
* GRAMMAR: exprimer la fréquence.
Then we continued on with a new oral document about mobile phone usage.
You can listen to it again below:
Here is what we said about it:
The document is a report (a set of interviews with an introduction and a conclusion).
It deals with mobile phone usage.
The scene probably takes place at a work place or a fast-food restaurant. We can hear people talking in the background. The journalist asks questions to 3 people (1 female and 2 males) who are probably young adults (their voices are not teenagers’ voices).
HW: for next time, you need to be able to talk about your personal usage of the phone and prepare a short recap about what we said about the document.
