You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12−15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know that? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "Life without gadgets". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
They are relevant to our project because in both pictures we can see people reading books. In the first photo there is a girl reading a book in the library. While in the second photo there is another girl sitting on the sofa and reading an e-book.
There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. For example, the first picture depicts a paper book, the girl has chosen this book in the library and now she is going to read it, whereas the second picture shows an electronic device for reading books.
In my opinion, both types of books have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, an e-book has relatively small size but it can contain a great number of novels and stories. However, using electronic device for a long time is harmful for eyes. As for paper books, they are require any electricity so that they can be read everywhere. But at the same time, they are rather heavy to be carried with.
Personally, I would not like to live without gadgets. Although, electronic devices can be health damaging they make my life easier. So, I’m not ready to give up all of them.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
