Tony: I want this gadget because my tablet doesn’t always work. I sometimes use Dad’s laptop to study, but my brother usually takes it first. I need it to study maths.
Bert: I haven’t got one, but my uncle gives me his when he visits. I always use it to look at maps and find different countries. It’s great!
Paul: I never use this gadget. I know it’s nice to listen to music, but they hurt my ears. I sometimes connect them to my laptop when I’m at the library.

Cindy: I never use it on a school day because I have homework. I usually play with my friends online at the weekend. I’m always the big butterfly in the game.
