My Favourite Gadgets
I can’ t imagine life without my mobile phone. I am always sending text and picture messages to my friends. Without it I’ d feel so alone. I’ d also feel lost without my digital camera because I’ m very keen on photography. It takes great photographs. I also couldn’ t live without my MP3 player. I have stored all my music on it and I download new songs all the time. Without it I wouldn’ t be able to listen to my favourite songs whenever I like.

Email about new gadget
To: John From: Ivan Subject: new camera Hi John, Sorry for not emailing you in so long, but I’ ve been very busy. Last week I bought a new digital camera. It looked really good in the shop but I’ ve had some problems with it. When I got home, I saw that the lens was scratched. I took it back to the shop and asked for a replacement. They didn’ t have one in stock so I had to wait for a new one. It should arrive soon. Hopefully this one will be OK. Talk to you later, Ivan
Opinion about gadgets
Mobile phones are also dangerous for your health. However, some people argue that it’ s important for students to have mobile phones in case they are in danger. Mobile phones disturb people on public transport and they should be banned. Computers can help with school work e. g. for research on the Internet. However, more computers in schools cannot teach students how to spell and how to do Maths. There is too much focus on technological development in schools. Computers have definitely made our lives easier and so improved our quality of life. Technology can create new types of jobs and opportunities. However, technology has replaced man power in the manufacturing industry. Technology will never replace people completely because machines can only do ordinary work. It is important for people to know about technology for work.
