The end of the report + phonetics (differences bewteen US and UK pronunciation)

Hey,

today we first warmed up very quickly about what your mobile phone usage was like. Here is what we said:

"to be written by Laura"

Then we continued talking about last time's document and here is what we concluded:

The document is about / deals with the advantages and drawbacks of cell phone usage.

Advantages: you can rely on your cell phone because it is practical and it gives you more privacy.

Drawbacks: however, it can be dangerous if you are addicted to it. Some students take refuge in it. They don't wanna talk to people. There is no face to face interaction. Everything becomes impersonal and text-driven. Students may become isolated / lonely.

Finally, we worked a little bit on phonetics and here are the expressions or words we focused on:

little
little bit more privacy: [ai] and [i] sound
addiction
affecting: [t] sound
adult: [a] sound
twenty-four: [t] or [d]
they don't want to talk / they don't wanna talk
ability: [t] or [d]

You can listen to the list of words again below:

HW: don't forget your irregular verbs + make your vocabulary sheets (vocabulary test on the way...)
