Recreate the conversation using the grammar and vocabulary from the Unit.

WRITING DRAFT PREPARATION

etiquette/ ˈɛt ɪ kɛt /

I strongly believe that cellphones should be used for these two main reasons: First, cellphones help connect people who are far away. Take for example that you travel to the USA for work and you need to communicate with your family and friends that live in Lima, with cellphones you can call everyone in every moment because distance doesn’t matter when you have a cellphone. Also you can call the police or the firefighters in case of an emergency. In addition cellphones connect workers like businessmen or businesswomen making their work easier. Second, everyone has cellphones because they are affordable. Furthermore everybody wants one because they make life easy and they have applications like Facebook and Twitter that tell us the latest news. However cellphones can be very distracting, cellphones’ applications or games distract people from their activities; also student cannot focus on their lessons because they are playing with their cellphones instead of paying attention to the class,in cases like that they should be banned. Finally, some drivers try to answer the phone while driving, a reason why there are car accidents. In conclusion we should use our cellphones just for communication, a way to communicate easier and faster with people, because cellphones can be also hazardous and distracting.

Convenient ,easy,simple

A. Whose opinion(s) do you disagree with? Why?

noun

conventional requirements as to social behavior; proprieties of conduct as established in any class or community or for any occasion.

B:Well, I disagree with____'s opinions because.....

I used to cook in 30 min,with this microwave it takes me 15 min.Its convenient.

Brainstorming:

• Cellphones are useful, especially for persons who work
• Cellphones help people to communicate faster
• With a cellphone you can connect with someone who is far away
• Cellphones can save lives in an emergency
• Cellphones can be distracting (Students don't pay attention)

Talk to your partner and share ideas,then write them in a piece of paper.

What are the technological devices you USED TO use/play with, but not anymore? Why did you stop using them?

Comparing two products

Samsung Camera Vs GoPro

A couple of years ago I used to take pictures with a Samsung camera,now I take pictures with GoPro .

I stopped using the Samsung camera because it wasn't as reliable as the GoPro.

A lot of people say that the GoPro is very expensive,but actually the GoPro is affordable,portable and also it's durable.

One reason that the GoPro is my favorite camera is because with the GoPro I can take beautiful pictures and make great videos on the other hand the Samsung didn't work as well as the GoPro,but one thing they have in common is that the GoPro is as popular as the Samsung brand name.

For those reasons my GoPro is the best technological item I have.

Write a comparison of two technological devices. Describe them, and use the grammar and vocabulary from the Unit.

What are your favorite technological devices?

Why are they your favorites? Describe them (USE ADJECTIVES)

What can/can't you do with them?

We can show that two things are not equal using:

not+as+adjective+as

Could you compare two of your favorite technological devices? (USE AS.. AS)

Inequality: noun phrases.

We can use

not+such+noun phrase+as

to compare things using noun phrase.

The journey to London doesn't take such a long time as it used to.

The order of the things you are comparing is opposite to that used in comparisons with comparative adjectives.

The journey to London used to take longer

Inequality: modifying with adverbs nearly, quite, nowhere near.

• What´s a Long Weekend?

it's_________________

• When do you usually get long weekends? I usually__________
• What do you usually do on long weekends? I usually__________

When we want to show that there is a big or small difference between the things being compared we can use the adverbs "nearly, "nowhere near" and "quite".

My shoes didn't cost nearly as much as yours.

My shoes cost nowhere near as much as yours.

Your shoes cost much more than mine.
