Lesson 22
New Gizmos
***
Translation
Leyla is sixteen years old. When she goes to school, she takes her iPhone and iPad with her. All along the way Leyla takes photos of everything, reads her e-mails and listens to music.
In contrast to her father, she really loves new equipment and technology and she finds it easy to use them. Sometimes she teaches her parents how to use new technology and she even knows more about using these gizmos than her teachers. In Leyla’s opinion, a class without computers and technology is boring, but in the opinion of some of her teachers, excessive use of these types of technology in the class, and especially computer games, is a waste of time.
Leyla and her classmates find information from websites with ease and even complete their exercises online.
They wait days and months for new gizmos. When a new model comes, they go to big stores like Apple, stand in line for hours, and buy their lovely new equipment on that very first day.
