Can’t it wait until later?

Once again I am interrupted when I hear a noisy song coming from a girl’s Smartphone. She
opens her bag, picks up her phone and answers, “Hello? Yeah, I’ll be home in about an hour...
No, I don’t feel like cooking. Maybe I’ll pick up some pizza on the way. I’ve gotta go. See you
soon.” Why the call about dinner was so important, I do not know.
Mobile phones (or Smartphones) – who doesn’t have one? Whether used for safety reasons
or social purposes, it seems that I can go nowhere these days without being bothered by
someone who just simply cannot wait until later to talk. It is almost as if every call is vital.
Don’t get me wrong, I recognize that mobile phones can be helpful. When someone’s car
breaks down, they bring quick help. Teens with loving parents can go out at the weekend with a
way to check in and satisfy their parents’ wish of knowing where they are. Mobile phones keep
people safe and enable the communication lines to remain open 24 hours a day. However, when
safety and frivolity clash, we run into problems.
My question is, where do we draw the line between necessary talk and obvious rudeness?
How many times have you been in a cinema, restaurant, or shopping centre when a mobile
phone started ringing? It is likely that the call could have waited. I think life should be simple, not
complicated with thousands of conversations happening at the same time with the constant use
of mobile phones. These phones are just infuriating sometimes, when people don’t see what’s
happening around them. All I am asking is for mobile phone users to be safe, have some respect
for others overhearing their chats, and to realize that sometimes it’s better to keep conversations
private. Caroline R., Hull, MA, www.teenink.com (abridged and adapted)

The online world

Some psychologists say obsessive use of computers to surf the web, join social sites and chat room
discussions, and play video games is a real addiction.
In recent years, people have started to use the computer and the Internet like they used to watch TV.
It is, in fact, very comfortable and relaxing just to sit down and have a chat with somebody from Canada
about ice hockey and lacrosse.
If we are hungry, we simply order a pizza through the Internet. While we
are waiting for the food, we check our Facebook messages, upload photos
and change our profile pictures and even leave a message on our friends’
Facebook walls.
So, we just don’t have much time for communication with people anymore.
Besides, there is so much information available that when we start surfing the
Internet, we spend a long time in front of the screen. There are a lot of people
who are addicted to TV and watch it 5 to 7 hours a day, and I believe using
the computer is becoming an addiction, too.
Karen, Wales

It always starts the same way. A friend tells you about social networks and their
chat rooms. Why should I chat? Usually you have some free time left and you
are curious and want to try.
Sometimes you meet your friends in the chat room instead of giving them a
call. Later, you get more interested in other anonymous chatterers. After seeing
for a while the same nickname, you want to know more about them. You want
to meet them each day to talk and laugh together.
You start to stay on while your friends go out for dinner and have fun. Maybe you won’t have time to
prepare a meal for yourself and eat only fast food. If you stay online all night long, you won’t get enough
sleep. Finally, you can say that you are addicted to chat rooms and social networks. This will be a serious
problem in our society in the future.

SPEAKING TEST 3 (Suggestions)

PART 1
Student A
– Yes, I do. I have a mobile/Smartphone.
– I use it every day.
– I use it to send text messages, phone my parents and my friends, play games (and access the Net).
– I have a few games.
– It would be difficult since I’m used to it, but it wouldn’t be impossible.

Student B
– Yes, I do. Because I can use it for a lot of things.
– I go online almost every day.
– Yes, I have a Facebook account because all my friends have one too.
– Lots of things, like playing games, chatting, uploading videos, songs, photos, etc.
– Not many. Most of my friends are ‘real friends’ that also use social networks.

PART 2
Student A: I think we could give him a Smartphone.
Student B: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you. He’s already got one.
Student A: What about a mouse and a pen drive?
Student B: That’s not a good idea. He doesn’t use this stuff. He prefers his smartphone.
Student A: How about a Smartwatch?
Student B: Do you know how much it costs? We wouldn’t have enough money for that.
Student A: You’re right. I saw a pair of high-tech sunglasses that are really cool.
Student B: What does he need the glasses for? He never goes out in the sun! They’re not useful. But he
might like a video game.
Student A: He can play games on his phone. I think he likes listening to music. How about giving him a pair
of good headphones?
Student B: OK, that’s a good idea. Let’s do that.

PART 3
Student A: I can see a group of students in a computer room. It looks like they are having an ICT lesson
because the teacher is standing behind them, looking at what they are doing. There’s another student behind
the teacher looking at the computer. The students must be about eighteen, to twenty, so they are probably in
higher education. The teacher is young and good-looking. There are a lot of window on the left of the room.

Student B: The picture shows some students in a classroom. The teacher is very young and standing in
front of the blackboard, giving the lesson. It might be a maths class since we can see a lot of numbers and
formulas written on the board. It seems that the students are paying attention to the lesson.

PART 4
Student A: In my picture, the students are using computers. It can be an ICT lesson or any other lesson
where they are looking for information on the Internet or even doing exercises online.
Student B: My picture shows a traditional classroom, where the teacher uses the white board and the
students use books and pens or pencils to write.
Student A: The first classroom is equipped with technology and the students are interested in the lesson.
Student B: As I said before, in my picture the students seem to be involved in classroom activities, too. But I
think, may conclude that technology is important for students nowadays.
Student A: I agree with you. Looking back at the pictures, I can say that I’d prefer to have lessons in the first
classroom. Students can do practical activities on computers whenever they need to.
Student B: I’d also prefer the first classroom, but I think we should also have lessons where the teacher
explains the subjects and uses the board.
