I m a in ly use th e In te rn e t to read ne w sp ape rs and new s ite m s , m o s tly ab ou t s p o rt.

I do a bit of in te rn e t shopping, like booking flig h ts and acco m m o d a tio n fo r m y holidays. Does everyone have access to the In te rn e t in y o u r cou ntry? I th in k so. Obviously, people in urb an areas have w id e r access to th e In te rn e t. It's s t ill a very r u r a l c o u n try th o u g h , so, on second th o u g h ts , I'm not sure th a t everybody is connected. And c e rta in ly not everyone has broadband. Do you th in k o ld e r people are scared of new tech nolog y? Som e o ld e r people e m b race new technology. My granddad, fo r exam ple, w as a te c h n o p h ile and w a nted to keep up to speed w ith th e la te s t technology. However. I w o u ld say th a t m ost o ld e r people d o n 't b o th e r le a rn in g ab ou t new te ch n o lo g y s im p ly because the y c a n 't see w h a t it w o u ld b rin g to th e ir lives. Do you th in k young c h ild re n s ho uld have m ob ile phones? I c a n 't see th a t young c h ild re n have m uch use fo r m o b ile phones, at le a s t in te rm s o f u s in g th e phone as a phone. They m ig h t fin d it in te re s tin g to have a device to lis te n to m u s ic and ta k e p h otos. B u t I c a n 't im a g in e m an y young k id s m a k in g c a lls . Track 39 Candidate: Examiner: Candidate: The piece of e q u ip m e n t I'd lik e to ta lk ab ou t is m y iPhone, w h ic h is a s m a rtp h o n e . It has va rio u s uses. It fu n c tio n s as a n o rm a l phone so you can m ake c a lls and te x t people. But, m ore u n u s u a lly fo r a phone, you can also s u rf the In te rn e t and send e m a ils . It also acts as a cam e ra, th o u g h a d m itte d ly not a very good one. You can buy a p p lic a tio n s fro m an o n lin e store, w h ich a llo w you to fin d y o u r way, play gam es, read e-b o o ks, and m uch m ore besides. New a p p lic a tio n s are being added a ll th e tim e , and som e of th e m are re a lly crazy, lik e one th a t le ts you record y o u r voice and the n it plays it back to you but m aking you sound like an a lie n ! And la s t but not least, you can lis te n to y o u r m u s ic and w a tch videos. It w a s a p re s e n t fro m m y p a ren ts. I'd been p e s te rin g th e m fo r m o n th s to get me one and at la s t the y gave in, w h en it cam e round to m y birthday. I th in k the y bought it o n lin e as it w as ch e a p e r th a t way. I w a s the firs t of m y frie n d s to get one, and I th in k the y w e re a ll re a lly envious. It is the la te s t m u s t-h a v e . People love it because it is so b e a u tifu lly m ade, so in tu itiv e , so ro b u s t and so clever. It is because it is so m any th in g s ro lle d in to one th a t it is so u s e fu l. I ju s t love m y iPhone, and if I lo st it I w o u ld n 't kno w w h a t to do w ith m yself. I use it on the w ay to u n iv e rs ity to e n te rta in m yself, I use it to stay in tou ch w ith m y frie n d s , I use it to che ck w h e re I am . It's not so m uch u s e fu l to m e as a b s o lu te ly esse ntia l. W hat piece of e le c tro n ic e q u ip m e n t w o u ld you not m iss?
