MAD ABOUT MOBILES!!!
Hi everyone!
I know you will like this new unit whose topic is MOBILES. In our current society, life does not exist without mobiles, at least in your lives, dear teens, although I know, this also happens in adults lives. As any tool, if you use it properly, it is great but if not it can hurt you in many senses...Anyway, we will take advantage of this topic to deal with specific language and signs when using our mobiles.
Let´s start with two new activities in order to break the ice with this unit.
1. Make a comment on the blog sharing with your classmates how important mobiles are in your life, how you use them and if you consider your way of using them is the appropiate one.
2. Create a comic about real and funny situations with mobiles. To create this comic you will click in the following link:
www.bitstripsforschools.com
In that web page I have created our bilingual class to design comics about different topics and you directly should go on your left to the student login where you should introduce our password that is: ACTIVE25
When you are in, you should click in the whole class exactly in the student with your name, that way you will be in your own account introducing your own password where you will see a simple comic made by myself and below another one empty. Then, it is your turn to draw with several tools your comic. Pay attention to the vocabulary used, spelling of words and be as much creative and original as you can.
If you have doubts, don´t worry a brief introduction will be done in class on Monday.
Good luck and do your best!!!
Take care and see you tomorrow guys!!!

My mobile is very important for me in my life, I cannot live without it, because I have there all my music, all my friends, all my social life...
ResponderEliminarI cannot imagine a life without chating via tuenti, twitter or whats-app, or without music too.
The apps I usually use are twitter and whats-app, one for know the latest news of people I know and famous people too, for sharing photos or music or funny things , and the other for chating with my friends and for meeting with them. I also use it for chating with my family too, or for asking for homework or exams by our groups of class.
I think if we use it properly, the mobile phones are a nice tool, but if we use it bad, we will have a lot of problems.
That's all! Bye classmates!!

ResponderEliminarHi everybody!
ResponderEliminarI think the mobile phone has an important role in our lives, at least in mine. I use it every day, more on weekends because of the exams.
I have many applications inside my phone, social networks like whatsapp, music, sometimes I have films or books to read and a lot of things more. I think I use it well because I do everything carefully. If I had to stay for a long time without my mobile phone I would become mad.
From my point of view to have a mobile phone is a good thing because if you have any kind of problem you can call someone and ask him/her for help.
Summarizing, we all must use carefully our phones and enjoy them.
Byeee :)
Hi friends, first of all I´m going to say that using a mobile at all hours it´s bad for your greats. Unluckily. I´m saying this to you because it is happening to me this year so don´t let you depent on your phone. Having a phone is a very good thing because you can communicate with all the people that you want either if they are in Canada or China. Also they are improving a lot the new tecnologies and I thing in a sentence of Einstein that says " The people will be stupid the day in wich the tecnologies overpass the humans." And that is becaming true nowadays.
ResponderEliminarIn conclusion with need to do less use of mobiles phones if we want to get a better future.
See you at class friends!!!
Hi everybody!
ResponderEliminarI think that mobiles phones are very important in our life for a lot of things, specially if there's an emergency.
We are always with the mobiles phones, it doesn't matter the hour that it's in that moment, we're gonna use it to play a game, to chat with our friends by Whatsapp, Twitter, Hotmail, and other social networks, and other things.
I think I use correctly the mobile because I'm not all the day with it and I don't spend hours and hours in front of the mobile, I just read and answer the text messages and then I leave the mobile during 45 minutes or, like sometimes, I leave it during hours, but I know that I don't use it correctly everytime, and I think almost everyone has used the mobile incorrectly at least one time.
Bye :D
Hi guys! How are you?
ResponderEliminarWell in my opinion have a mobile phone is very important now, in the actually because without phone we can't live, we use the mobile to a lot of things like listening to music,chatting with friends, apps to reading or to watching photos. I use the mobile phone every day and I think if I haven't got my smartphone I couldn't live because is a tool I need in my life and it is very important to me, it is also because there I have got all my personal things like the contacts, the music, my books, my social networks and a lot of things.
Probably the old people like our granparents or the poor people who cannot allow a mobile phone can be better than us in the contest about spend the day with a mobile in the hands. In general we use the mobile a lot and it is not a good idea because we spend more with them instead with our friendships.
I love you :) BFN!!!
Good afternoon!
ResponderEliminarThe mobile phone is a tool that the majority of us use daily. With the time, appear more applications and we life with them.
If i'm sincerely, I couldn't life without my mobile phone. In it I have my music, books, pics and I can speak with friends that aren't near me because they are in other villages.
I can't stay a whole week without it, for me is impossible. Maybe It's because I learnt how to life with a object that could make our lifes easier.
As some of my classmates said, the mobil phone can be the safe of a problem. What I want to say is that if we are alone and we fall or some dangerous situation we can call someone.
See you!(:
Hi mates !
ResponderEliminarI ´m agree with Belinda , the mobiles phones are so important in that way but it adictive agent because i think all of you can ´t leave your phones for a full day. The mobiles phones is the first cause of school failure in Spain !!! Because you say yes mum im study and instead of study you are with the mobile phone sending messages to yours freinds , i think the mobiles phones must be forbbiden... but also they are pratical because I do this comment on the blog with it hahahaha
Bye ;)
Hi classmates!
ResponderEliminarI think that mobile phones are so adicted in our lives, and if we try to be a long period of time without using it, we wouldn´t be able.
Mobile phones can also be so dangerous, because a lot of people use it while they´re driving or crossing the street, and they can produce an accident. Also is a problem that actually, when we are with our family or friends, we usually talk eachother by whatsapp, and not speaking like normal people.
But mobile phones has also some goods, like that with it you can speak with anyone who is anywhere in the world without moving from your sofa! And you also can search anything in the Internet in just a few minutes and we can entertain ourselves with some games that we can download from the Internet.
This are my good and bad opinions about mobile phones. BBFN.
Hi there!
ResponderEliminarFor me the phone is a really important part of my life, such as a meal or a moment spent with my family (Well, not that much but...) I think if suddenly my mobile phone breaks and there's no way to fix it I will get mad, because I've got there so many memories and things that I think I wouldn't be able to live without, or even if it can be fixed, I would drive mad too because I'm a little anxious and I cannot wait to have my phone back. I don't use my phone just to keep uploaded when it comes to the news or my social life, I also use it to do some work, write stuff and read some random stories I find on the internet. I don't really know if I use my phone right, honestly, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to use it in any other way. I think that's all...? I don't know if I forget about something, anyways, good night and have a nice day! Xx.
WHAT´S UP CLASSMATE¡¡¡
ResponderEliminarI think that in the times we are living nowadays, is very useful and indispensable the use of our mobile phones in our lifes because it is a device that we have always had a great regard.
For instance we used it to to listen to music while we are studying and doing homework, to play games that we downloaded, to read the news, to talk with our friends on social networks or apps like whatsapp and many more utilities.
Before I used the cell phone more than now because I had more free time but now I still keep using it in excess because for example I can delete the time that I'm with the phone while I am eating or when I study or do homework.
You can also get hooked of these devices and they can be dangerous because you can become addicted to them but otherwise they have a few benefits because you can talk at any time with your friends and warn quickly if something happens to someone.
BFN
Hello everybody!
ResponderEliminarTo me the mobile phone is very important because I use it for different things, which are communicating with my friends by Whatsapp (that is an application for chatting with other Whatsapp users) and I also use it for checking my Twitter account, which is another application that I use for watching what other people write or for looking up news, for example about football or other news stories.
During the day I use the mobile phone several times, but I don’t use it continuously; I check my messages each time I see a small LED blinking on the upper part of the phone.
I normally have the phone muted when I’m at home in order not to disturb the people around me, but when I am out in the street I have the sound turned on in case somebody calls me.
To finish, in my opinion, I’m sometimes too dependent on the messages and chats that enter on the phone. But when I’m out with friends, for example going to a dinner, I don’t use the mobile phone. I wouldn’t like to become a real addict because I think it can have a very negative influence on relationships and ways of communicating with other people.
Bye.
Hi everyone! how are you?
ResponderEliminarI think that all the people are so hooked with the moviles phones and also is very important in our lives too because the moviles phone can save a life for example if you are in dangerous situation you can call to anyone and it can save your life or the life of the person that is in this situation, also we use the moviles phones to listening to music, to play games, talk to a friend with the whatsapp... and many other things that are funny for us and we enjoy doing it.
The movile phones also can be harmful and we can get into trouble with many online applications and others things that can damage the relations between two friends or even between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.
I use my movile phone when I finish the homeworks or in my free time so I'm a little addicted to it and I think I use it in the appropiate way for don't be a very addicted boy.
Bye, see you tomorrow.
Hey!!!!!!!! New topic!!!!!!!!
ResponderEliminarThink a moment, you are at home, sitting on your favourite sofa, no homeworks, no exams, your friends can't meet with you, what do you do???? Easy, you will probably end your mobile phone's battery chatting without any control. Fake???? I don't think so. The mobiles are the teens' most necessary thing. From nine years up all children have one of those. Although the phones are very useful devices there are a lot of pros and cons, like it can reduce your high school marks or it can damage your social relations. But even there's no more practical thing like taking out of your pocket the mobile phone and search for information or listen to music at anywhere you are.
So bye bye and enjoy your mobile ;)
Hi friends! How are you?
ResponderEliminarTo start I want to say that I don't usually live next to my cell phone, basically because my parents keep it during all day. After having dinner, I use it for a short time and then its main function is to wake me up in the morning. As a teen, I think that this is a ridiculous rule, but if I think a bit I know that they only do it to benefit me.
But good time always comes, and this 'good time' is the weekend, three days in which I can use my phone freely. OK, in fact when I'm doing homework or studying I am unable to use it, but that's not much time, so I practicaly use it every moment.
I know that some people cannot live without their mobiles phones, because they use it to work or simply because they are like 'addict', but that's not my case. I don't know how the rest of the people see me, but I think that I use my mobile phone less than I could. There are moments in which you are chatting or talking because you don't know what to do, but in my life there aren't a lot of moments like that, so nowadays I think that the way I use my mobile is almost OK.
But apart from this, being honest... I can't imagine living without my mobile. Sometimes my parents have punished me and I want you to know that is difficult to spend a short time without using your phone, like a week or a month. I don't consider myself as an addict, but mobiles are one of the most important or even the most important tool in our daily lifes.

Hii everybody:
ResponderEliminarMy mobile phone? Yes, I think it's important, too important. At the begining, when I had my first smartphone it was more important than now, because it was something very new.
On the one hand, I think mobiles phones are something very useful: you can be connected with everybody, you can search information, listeng to music, play games...but in the other hand you need it, you cannot live without the mobile because you depend on it, you will use it more and more everyday.
And also it's very bad when you have to study, because if it is sounding every moment, you can't stop watching it. Because of that, when I have a lot of homework or when I'm studying, I hide my mobile or I keep it in the living room instead in my bedroom.
One thing I hate, is when you meet your friends and everyone is with her/his mobile, it's something rude. So basically because of that I'm trying to depend less on my mobile, normally I keep it in my pocket. But saying that I'm not saying that I don't use it. I use my mobile for a lot of things, for example for listen to music, wake me up at the morning, search information when I have the computer off, talk with my friends...
In general the mobiles are a very practical tool in your live, but only if you know how to use it.

Vast majority of youngsters are so hooked on mobiles phones and technological gadgets that it’s turned into a real problem and a sort of current “sickness”. Whashapp, the largest mobile application over the net has been the greatest cause of this. Nowadays, according to experts, it turns out that 80% of teenagers can’t help watching their mobile screens each five minutes. And that’s too much! We’ll go nuts unless we let it up soon!
ResponderEliminarDespite using it every day (to chat, to listen to music, to watch the news… ), I guess I’m not addicted to my mobile phone. I only use it from time to time, when I think it’s completely necessary. To be honest, I think I could live at least one day without it.
Hi everybody!!
ResponderEliminarI think now a days people are so addicted to mobile phones.
It´s true they are very useful, but only if you use it in a propper way, and you don´t depend on them.
You can use them for a lot of things like, listen to music, play games, search information on the internet, talk with your friends... and also they can save lifes of people, because if you are in danger you can contact with somebody.
But I think they are not so important in our lifes or at least they shouldn´t.
In my case I don´t depend too much in my mobile or this is what I think. When I have to study I leave the mobile in other room and in my free time I take it, if not I would be always looking it an this will desconcentrate me.
Also I think I´m not one of this kind of people that meet together to talk each other and have fun and the only thing they do is speak in their mobile phones and they are sitting next.I think is rude...
But one thing I have to admit it´s that in the end I use it a lot... ;) in things like listening to music, wake me up, search things on the internet... in simple things that you do everyday but.. you use it...
hi everybody!
ResponderEliminarIthink that the mobile is good for us but we are so addicted to mobil.
We use a lot of time and use it for a long time is bad for all.
I used it a long time before but now i used only in weekend.
It´s very important for me in the mobile i have music, apps , friends.. a lot of things.
things that I think are important for me life.
I use it a lot for chatting by whatsapp with my friends and twitter .
I thiink that we have some addiction with the mobiles.
the mobiles will be bad or good depending on how you use them.
I think that I use my mobile good .
I use to search for information, to read digital newspapers and sometimes to buy something web pages .
In my live the mobile it´s important but not the most important
I think if we use it properly we will not have any problem
Hi everybody!
ResponderEliminarThe mobile phones..buff...very complicated question...
From one side I think the mobile phones are one of the best tools, tou can use them for a lot of advantages, like , in our case, to know the homework when you don´t go to class or to remember examns or even to wake up at the morning, but, from the other side, it´s so adictive, the people use them for a lot of different things and the ussually can not live without it.
The most of the people don´t know the disadvantages that the mobiles have. To have a phone gives ourself more facilities to use the social nets or aplications that are very easy to ''jackear'', you can have prblems if you don´t use your mobile phone properly.
And.. that´s all guys, from my point of view, the phones now , are something that we need and we can´t live without him.
Bye bye, see you tomorrow

ResponderEliminarHi mates!
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion the mobiles are very important in our lives. You can use for many things from alert if you have an emergency to call your friends or send messages.
And not only for that, you must have a mobile to integrate in a group or things like that. Now, I think that everybody abuse of stay with the mobile when you are in the streets or in your lunch time for example.
But the mobiles isn´t only to recive messages or call people. They have a lot of tools to our entertainment like games or stop watches and alarm clock´s for our daily uses.
People think that they must stay with their mobile phones every time but I don´t agree. I am the first who uses his mobile every day but if we propuse we could leave it and don´t waste our time with the mobile.
That´s all. Bye
Marco Periañes says,
ResponderEliminarhello everyone.
I think like you. My phone is the most important because I use it to play games, listen muscia, meet with my friends and my social life.
I also think that a excessive use of your phone is bad, because if you stay with your friends, you usually talk to them or play, not use your phone.
As I have not internet because my parents do not want that I spend so much time with the phone, I do not consider myself addicted to the mobile person.
goodbye

ResponderEliminarHi classmates!
ResponderEliminarLike you I can’t live without my mobile, I use it for all, to listen music, to enjoy and also to chat with my friends. The app that I use more is the whatsapp and it has its good said and its bad said, I can speak whit my friends that I can’t see every day but I spend too much time with the mobile.
I also ring to my friend to talk with they by mobile phone because I have free minutes and it is best than chat.
Now the majority of the people have a smart phone, whatsapp, twitter… when you go to the street or you meet whit your friends, ever you see a lot of people whit his mobile and chatting with it, now the majority of people can’t live without the mobile or without internet it is the live now.
It is good that the technologies advance and our mobiles phones have internet and have so much things to do but it takes us too much time of our life because we could do a lot of things like sport, study and other thing like that but we spend our time with the mobile.
The mobile it is a good thing but we have to put limits with it that.
Bye.
Hi everybody!!
ResponderEliminarMy mobile phone or smartphone is as important for me as your smartphone for you.
Our social life is in there, our photos, videos, conversations and more important things are there and if someone take my phone he or she should see it.
Twitter whatsapp or telegram are trhee aplications that have many information of my personal life.
I thing that the phone it could be good but always with a good use.

Ele says,
ResponderEliminarHi guys!!
I know how someone could feel if she/he hasn´t got their mobile phone. You feel strange, as if something of you isn´t in its place. It is difficult to live without your mobile. For example, my mobile broke and I brought it to anywhere because I needed it before and now, to know the hour, or even use it as an alarm clock or to meet my friends. My main problem with my mobile is that I have used it to listen to music all the time and now I can´t and I feel so bad. When you get a mobile phone from the first time, you get a necessity to have it all the time, you become a depending person of your mobile phone.
