Can I borrow your phone to call my boss?
I cann't believe you still don't have a cellphone. Here you go.
Thanks. Now, what do I need to do?
First of all, be sure to turn it on. And don't forget to dial the area code.
OK. I can see the number, but I can't hear anything.
That's because you haven't pressed the "call" button.
Oh, good! It's ringing.
Try not to get too excited. You'll probably get his voice mail.
You're right. It's a recording.
Make sure to hit the "end" button, or else you'll leave our conversation on his voice mail.
CB:
That was fun. Let's call somebody else.
Is there anyone you need to call?
Well, not really. But I'd like to see if there are any messages on my answering machine at home. Can you show me how to check?
I don't think I have that many minutes left.

fouty two percent ! That's pretty high. And why is that?
Well. They tend to be old people or people living in more rural areas. But there are also those who are worried about the privicies, or who think that the internet isn't nessary in their life. Some of these people are even proud to be indepentent from the online world.
Interesting!
In your new book you mentioned " ". Can you explain what you mean by this?
Well, lots of people lived with someone who surfs the net, but they still don't net on themselves. I call this group the " ". What I found in talking to these people is that they sometimes ask family member to send emails for them, or to browser websites, but they don't want to do it themselves.
I know someone like that.
Yes, and then there's another group of people I called "Internet Dropouts".
"Internet Dropouts", what exactly does it mean?
It refers to people who once use the internet but have stopped using it for some reason. They may not have a computer anymore, may not have enough time, or simply may not be interested.
I see. Well, thank you very much for sharing that information with us. Dr...
Cellphone can help you study better.
First of all, you can use your cellphone to take notes. For example, you can take pictures, and record what your teacher said. It's faster than write notes by yourself.
Secondly, you can use it to search online. If you want to know more about what the teacher said, you can use you phone to have a quick search. And also, if you don't understand what your teacher's point and you just want to understand by yourself, you can search it by your phone.
Finally, you can share information effectively. Not only can students share useful class information together, but also it's very helpful to the teachers. Teachers can use it to sign up, to share informations to class...
As we all know, your progress is the best respect to your teacher. We can use the cellphone to make our study more effective and convinient.
