What would you do if you had to live without a smartphone for a week
P40 B
Possible answer: If I had to live without my smartphone for a week, I would spend more time doing physical activities. For example, I could take my camera, go for a walk to my local park and take photos of interesting things.
If the weather is not good, I will stay indoors and
play some board games with my family. I could
probably also spend more time studying or tidying
up my bedroom. I might help my mother cook dinner too.
You can come up with a story or a slogan
that you think could encourage people
to put down their smartphones.
P40 C
Design a public service advertisement calling for
people to reduce their use of smartphones.
EXAMPLE:
Look up from your phone: live life the real way!
