Then, Ss will talk about their mobile phones in pairs. After that, T will show them the picture of woman talking on the phone and Ss will predict the content of the reading text.

While-Reading/#1 (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist reading task

Ss will read a text about four different people who talk about their mobile phones. They will do jigsaw reading and then in pairs or group of three(depending on the number of Ss) will give information to their peers about their reading text. After that, they will answer 2 gist questions about four people. WC feedback is provided.

T will hand out a gap-fill exercise where Ss in pairs have to use the words from the list.

Post-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Ss will be divided into 2 groups. One group will talk about good features of mobile phones, while the other will discuss negative points. Then, Ss will have a debate about good and bad points of mobile phones. They will be asked to use 'can/can't' and topic-related vocabulary in their speech.
