Good morning. I’m glad to see you. Before we get started I want to ask you some questions.

What do people use to communicate with friends or parents?

What do people use to take pictures?

What can people use to listen to music and not to disturb anybody?

Name all these things with one word. Yes, they are gadgets.

Look at the pictures at the top of the page. … read the names of the gadgets. Look at the task. (СЛАЙД 2)

Which of the gadgets do you use?

What for?

A: I use a mobile phone to call my family and friends or to send SMS. I also use it to take pictures. What about you?

press – нажимать

virtual pet [´və:tʃuəl] – виртуальный питомец

Look at the picture in the dialogue. What type of gadget do you think it is? What is it used for?

It is a virtual pet. It is used to look after a pet but not real.

Read the first exchange in the dialogue. What is Bridget going to buy? In what kind of shop do you think she can find a virtual pet?

Bridget is going to buy a virtual pet. She can find a virtual pet in an electronics shop.

Reading

Chris: Hey, Bridget! Where are you going?

Bridget: Hi, Chris. I’m on my way to buy a virtual pet.

Chris: What are you talking about? What is a virtual pet?

Bridget: Well, my mum says I can’t have a real dog so I am going to get a computerised one.

Chris: A computerised dog?

Bridget: Yes, Chris, I’m going to buy a puppy, name it, feed it, and train it. All I have to do is press buttons on the gadget!

Chris: So when your virtual dog is hungry, you press a button that shows you are feeding it?

Bridget: Exactly! There is a button for walking it as well. It will be like having a real dog, because you have to take care of it every day.

Chris: Oh, come off it! It won’t be like a real pet because it won’t show you any affection!
