Task 1(W)
6 min
Firstly, divide class in two groups and each group should
read the text quickly and find the words in the pictures.
In today's world, having some basic technology skills is very
important. For instance, it's helpful to know how to
__________ on a keyboard. Typing around 40 words per
minute should be enough to do tasks at a modern workplace.
In fact, many employees around the world start their
workday in the same way: they __________ the screen and
start writing emails, reports and documents so they need to
know how to use their keyboards well. However, technology
sometimes fails, so be sure how to know how to __________
your laptop if you don’t want to miss deadlines. Internet
skills are also something we can't imagine our lives without.
Do you want to find your favourite movie or a funny meme?
Well, if so, you should be able to __________ to Wi-Fi first.
When you finally do this, oh no... this Firefox or Google
Chrome has come up with two new features and now you
need to __________ your browser. Done? Next, open and
__________ the website you need. Try to find your favourite
meme fighting with the annoying ads! Finally, to talk to your
bosses, colleagues or teachers, you should be able to send
emails. Just remember to __________ the email address
correctly. You don’t want your email to get to your boss
instead of your friend.
