Now let's move on to something more specific. I'd like you to talk about ways of keeping in touch with your friends. You'll each have a picture showing two different ways of corresponding with each other. I'd like each of you to give a brief description of both ways and then compare them. You'll have one minute to prepare and each of you will have one and a half minutes to talk about the picture. Don't worry if Iinterrupt you at the end of the time limit.Now here are your pictures.

I'd like you to discuss this topic further and see if you can agree on which way of corresponding is most frequently used by university students. During the discussion you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify apoint. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion.
