Writing 14: Buying a gadget

Luke: Excuse me, can you tell me about this tablet?

Assistant: Of course. What would you like to know?

Luke: Well, how much memory has it got?

Assistant: It has 16GB of memory. It isn't much memory if you are going to install many apps and take many photos , but you can get much more memory with a memory card.

Luke: OK. And is it easy to use?

Assistant: Yes, it's very easy, and quite fast, too!

Luke: Oh, right! Has it got a camera?

Assistant: Yes. The camera is seven megapixels.

Luke: What's the sound? For music, I mean.

Assistant: The sound is excellent. Anyway, it comes with a pair of earphones which volume  is quite loud, so you don't have to put the tablet on maximum volume.

Luke: Right. How long does the battery last?

Assistant: About eighteen hours of screen time.

Luke: Wow! That's very long! And does it have Wi-fi?

Assistant: Yes. You can connect it to a Wi-fi network.

Luke: Is it avaiable in other colours?

Assistant: It is avaiable in black, white, gold and red.

Assistant: It's £300.

B: There are too many ideas! I can't decide what to do!
A: Yeah, you're right.Why don't we discuss it with our partners?

Writing 03: Dialogue.

A: Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Lucy, What's your name?

B: Hi, my name's Logan. Where are you from?

Lucy: I am from Molvízar. It's a small town in the south of Spain. I think Molvízar is so interesting.

Logan: Do you? I don't. In a place like Molvízar there aren't many things to do. That's boring!

Lucy: I agree. There aren't many things to do. But it has a big park with many trees. Do you like parks?

Logan: No, I don't. I prefer cities because you can go to the cinema or go shopping!

Lucy: Do you? I don't. The village is so quiet and healthier than the city. The streets aren't crowded and I think it's less stressful than a city! 

Logan: Do you? So do I! Perhaps living in a village isn't so bad after all.
