Vocabulary

  Students read an advertisement for a company 

that produces customised mobile devices for 

mobile workers. They use context to match 

words to their definitions. Before students do the 

main activity here, you could do some reading 

work by putting the following gist and 

comprehension questions on the board.  

1 Who is the advertisement for: consumers or 

businesses? (businesses) 

2 Are the company’s devices only for traffic wardens, 

or for other people as well? (They’re for other 

people as well.) 

3 How does the device improve traffic wardens’ 

efficiency and safety? (Efficiency: the traffic 

warden doesn’t have to enter data. Checking 

registration number, etc. is automated. Safety: if 

the traffic warden falls, the device sends a 

message to the control centre.)
