  In this information gap activity, students read 

web addresses to each other and write down 

what they hear.  

 

Networks 

Speaking  

1

  For students with little IT knowledge, the 

discussion questions provide a lead-in to the 

topic as they relate networking concepts to real 

life. More knowledgeable students could also 

suggest other networks in everyday life, such as 

cash registers and credit card machines in 

supermarkets, and mobile phones.  

Reading 

2

  Students read a web page about networks and 

match the main ideas to the three paragraphs.  

 

The information in the web page ensures that all 

students, whatever the extent of their IT 

knowledge, have the same basic information 

needed to talk about networks. If the 

development of reading skills is important to 

your students (for example, if they need to read 

long texts in English at work), you could set a 

time limit to practise the skill of skimming.
