Datos/Observaciones
Old vs modern
A: My favorite device is my headphones. At home, everyone has a different model of headphones, some
models are old and others are modern. My headphones are lighter than my mom’s, but they are more
expensive than my dad’s. Also, my headphones have a better sound than my older brother’s

and I feel very comfortable with them. My headphones are wireless, so


they don’t need to be connected with a cable to the device, and also have
a better design. They are very necessary when I have to answer a call on
the street.
B: My favorite device is my cell phone. I bought the last version of this
cell phone and I am very happy. For example, my cell phone is thinner and
lighter than the old cell phone and it allows me to carry it everywhere. It
has a camera and I take very nice photos because its resolution is better
than the old cell phone. The battery lasts many hours than the old cell
phone and that allows me to be connected all the time.
C: Continue… • It’s a sample model. Do not copy!
• Remember to speak naturally, don’t read the dialog.
D: Continue … • You must appear in the video. It’s very important to show your faces.
