I want to listen to music but I can’t find my (^1) earphones / plugs because my brother is using them! ‘They’re better than mine’, he says. ‘It’s OK,’ I say. I can use my new 2 battery / speaker that plays music really loud. However, when I look inside, the 3 plug / battery isn’t there because it’s in my brother’s digital camera and, guess what? His friend’s got it at the moment. In the end I decide to watch a funny film on my 4 cable / tablet but I can’t find it. I look in my brother’s bedroom. On his desk there’s a pile of 5 earphones / cables that are all different lengths. I finally find the short black one with the right 6 plug / selfie stick on the end of it for my tablet. ‘OK, where is it?’ I ask him again. Then I hear Mum’s voice. ‘Are you looking for this, love?’ she asks. ‘I’m just buying some shoes but it’s nearly dead. Can you get me the (^7) battery / charger , please?’

Gadget testers for a day! By Max Stevens and Tina Wallis
Today we’re going to school by bus as usual. We normally leave home at 8 a.m., but we’re leaving early because we’re testing some new gadgets for this month’s report. All these gadgets are useful when you’re travelling. So, what have we got? First up is the Briefskate. It’s made of wood, so it looks like a normal skateboard, but you can open the top. Inside there’s space for books and a mobile or a tablet. In my opinion, it’s useful and fun, but Tina and I can’t skate, so we can’t test it … Next, we’re trying the Sospendo. It’s a strange plastic gadget which works like an extra pair of hands to hold your phone or tablet. Tina’s wearing it at the moment. She won’t drop her tablet, but people are staring at her. I’m sure they’re thinking, ‘What on earth is she doing?’. Tina doesn’t like this gadget! Max
Now it’s my turn. The next gadget is a tiny controller. You put it on your mobile or tablet so that you can play games. It looks cool, but I don’t need this to play games on my phone. I normally take a rucksack to school every day, but today I’m testing a Defender bag. It’s like a rucksack. You can wear it on your back or on your front. When it’s in front of you, you can use it like a small table. I don’t like it because it looks ugly. Right now, Max is using the Phorce bag. You can use it to charge your phone or tablet. I often forget to charge my phone before I leave the house, so I think this is a brilliant idea. Max loves it, too. It’s our favourite gadget! Tina

I want to put the posters up in town but now I’ve got ten photos … upside down! Alisha: Tommo, the problem is your settings. Tommo: Oh, so what can I do?

by Skye Winter-Fox
In my everyday life, I live in a terraced house near Oxford with my grandma, because my parents are in New Zealand. But my dream home is a beach hut in Bali. The beach hut has got one bedroom and a living room. As well as a huge touch screen TV, there’s a fast internet connection in case I want to share videos with friends! Although it’s small, outside there’s a veranda so I have a perfect view of the sea. In real life I go to Cherwell School on weekdays. I usually swim before school and I try to write at the weekend. However, in my dream lifestyle, I sit outside and write my novel on my laptop every morning. Then in the afternoon I swim and go surfing, too. Friends often visit me at the weekend and we have amazing barbecues on the beach.

Do smartphones make
you smarter?
GLOSSARY device (n) a machine or tool distraction (n) something that takes your attention away from what you are doing law (n) a system or rules minority (n) a small part of a larger group remove (v) take away
How do teenagers in the UK and the
US use their mobile phones?
More than ninety percent of British teenagers own a mobile phone; a minority have two or more. These screenagers spend more than twenty-seven hours a week online. They can now connect when and where they like with smartphones and tablets. pparently, UK teenagers avoid using smartphones to chat with friends. Instead, they choose to watch video clips, play games, share photos and send instant messages. s for social media, teens like keeping in touch via Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram. They leave Facebook to their mums and dads!
Teenagers may be connected all the time, but there is one place where most teenagers can’t use their digital devices: school! In the UK there is no law about phone use in schools, but teachers can remove devices from students if necessary. However, not all teachers agree and some even try to use smartphones in class.
recent British report said that removing smartphones from schools will give students more time for their education. It said that smartphones are a big distraction, make students less productive and are bad for learning.
However, in the US some people do not agree. Recently one school in New York decided to allow students to use smartphones at school. They said that smartphones can be an excellent resource for the classroom. We carry a lot of information in our pockets and this information can be really useful. In this New York school, smartphones can definitely make you smarter!
