PART ONE:READING COMPREHENSION
In some countries, tablet computers are available for students to use in
class. Therefore, students can use the tablets to do tasks such as showing
photographs, researching information, recording interviews and creating
diagrams. Tablets are ideal for pair and group work.
Most young people communicate through social media, by which they
send each other photos and messages via the Internet. Some students like to
send messages that are under 140 letters for anyone to read. Teachers can ask
students to summarise information about what they have learnt in class in the
same way. If students learn to summarise quickly, they will be able to use
this skill in future.
Teachers can perhaps ask their students to start writing a blog either
about their own lives or as if they were someone famous. They can also
create a website for the classroom. Students can contribute to the website,
so for example they can post work, photos and messages.
