Task 1
Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
«Phubbing» is a term created to describe people with the habit of constantly using their smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices no matter where they are. Wherever they go and whether they are alone or hanging out with friends, the smartphone addicts always keep their heads down looking at their electronic devices.
Chatting with people, watching videos, playing games, browsing websites… they do all this stuff through social networks or instant messaging but hardly communicate with people face-to-face. They spend most of their time with their eyes glued on the screens of the electronic devices in their hands, which results in a peculiar addiction phenomenon and can severely disrupt their present-moment, in-person relationships.

Study the advertisement.
