5. Read the text on mobile phones. Then, for sentences 1-7, circle T for true or F for false.
ARE YOU A MOBILE PHONE BORE?
Mobile phones save lives and increase business opportunities. They also destroy the magic of the
movies, irritate people in restaurants and interrupt meetings. Some people even take their mobile
phones to funerals! Being wireless is no excuse for being tactless.
The mobile phone bore leaves the phone on all the time and uses loud and annoying ring-tones.
He gets angry and emotional when other people are nearby. Does he respect other people’s
personal space? No, he doesn’t, he stands next to other people and talks about confidential
matters in public. In fact, he doesn’t talk, he shouts, and he even answers the phone in restaurants
and theatres.
It’s better to be a smart mobile user. This person has a ‘hands-free’ phone in the car. She stops
the car when a conversation is important. In public she speaks quietly and sets the ring tone at
‘low’. She waits for a suitable moment and place before making calls and in public she asks
people to call her back.
1 The writer thinks mobile phones can be good. T / F
2 The writer doesn’t like some people with mobile phones. T / F
3 A mobile phone bore talks about mobile phones all the time. T / F
4 A mobile phone bore sometimes switches the phone off. T / F 5 A mobile phone bore likes other people to hear his conversations. T / F
6 A smart mobile user doesn’t use her hands to drive a car. T / F
7 A smart mobile user asks other people to speak quietly. T / F

7. Read the description of Maria below. Then complete her e-mail to a friend. Use words or
phrases from the reading. See the example.
Maria works as a telephonist in a shopping centre. Her workspace is a cubicle with a computer
and a telephone exchange. She answers calls all day. She gets them from customers, but also
from suppliers about orders and deliveries. On a normal day she can get over five hundred calls.
The worst thing is that people think she is responsible for everything. People are always complaining abut things and shouting at her. One man wanted her to tell him how to cook a fish!
Of course, she can’t hang up. She thinks that in the end she’ll give up her job because she suffers
from stress. When the phone rings at home, she jumps. She wants to disconnect the phone, but
her husband needs it for his work.
