Describe a useful piece of equipment You should say: What kind of equipment What it looks like/what functions it has Where / when you got it/who gave it to you And explain how it can be used to improve the quality of your life. A. Well, I would love to talk about my little girlfriend’s iPod, a trendy mp3 player, which I would always take along with me wherever I go. Though it is an mp3 player I seldom use it to listen to music ， but to something called a Podcast, which basically it is a kind of “radio” program broadcasting on the web. There are so many different programs, about culture, news, politics and even language learning. I am particularly fascinated by the free educational resources it provides. Now I have French, German and Japanese learning programs on my iPod . Given me some time, I am pretty sure I can speak some French, German or Japanese or at least some daily phrases. In a word, iPod is special to me not only because it can accompany me wherever I go just like my girlfriend, but also because it is a new technology that I have greatly benefited in language learning . |
