T: Your conclusions may be true. As you have known, mobile phones are very important to us in our daily life. We can’t imagine what our life would be like without mobile phones. You have done a wonderful job. Next, we will come to Activity 3. I will give you five minutes to discuss the four questions and do a survey among your classmates. After the discussion, I will ask some of you to give a report to us.

T: OK. Now we will have a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of having a mobile phone. I will divide you into two groups. The four lines on the left discuss the advantages and the rest disadvantages. After your discussion, I will ask one of you to list the key points on the blackboard. Five minutes for the discussion.

Wherever we are, we can communicate with families and friends. We can’t imagine the life without mobile phones. Online shopping makes us free from the common shopping with baskets. Thus, we can make good use of our limited time and do more other things. However, we need to be careful when using credit cards. We should buy things from the companies that have secure page facilities. We should be cautious about the online deception.
