PAIR WORK
Think of any gadget or machine that can be used in the home or office. Let your classmates ask “yes/no” questions to guess its name.
I think a videophone is seldom used. A mower is used more often than a videophone. And a computer is used very often.
We can cut and collect the grass more easily with a mower. We can build up our strength more efficiently with a body building machine. We can wash the dishes more quickly with a dishwasher. We can take photographs more easily with a camera. We can cook, defrost and reheat pre-prepared food more quickly with a microwave oven. We can receive or make calls around the home more easily with a cordless phone. We can perform everyday cleaning tasks more efficiently with a vacuum cleaner. We can sew, do embroidery and sew on buttons more easily with a sewing machine. We can wake up people and tell the time more easily with a talking alarm clock. We can watch pre-recorded videos with a video recorder/player. We can record a programme with a TV set. We can have fun and entertain ourselves with an electronic game. We can send and receive urgent messages more quickly with a fax machine. We can operate the TV set from a distance with a TV remote-control unit. We can write programs, play games, find and use information more efficiently with a computer. We can do calculations in sunlight or daylight more easily with a solar powered calculator.
I think that a computer is the most important thing in the home. We can write, study, find information and communicate with it. Some of the inventions, for example a videophone, are less important. We do not often use them. And I’m sure we can do without a talking alarm clock. We never need it if we have a usual alarm clock or a mobile phone.
For pair work, you can think of a printer, a scanner, a tablet or a laptop.
