2 English for Information Technology A2-B1 Vocational English Teacher’s Book

Extra activity  

Ask each student to make a list of specifications 

of their mobile phone. Then, in pairs, they 

compare each other’s specifications. 

Alternatively, they could use equipment other 

than mobile phones (especially if they can 

prepare, perhaps for homework, by looking up 

specifications in manuals or brochures or by 

checking them online).
