Life in a Digital World — How We Use Technology

About this lesson

This unit, titled 'Life in a Digital World', focuses on technology use in daily life. It begins with a discussion about time spent on digital devices and the need to balance that with outdoor activities. The listening section features Ayman's talk about his screen time habits, followed by true/false questions, and a separate listening about Egypt's Hybrid Bus, with questions about its energy source, launch location, and environmental benefits. The speaking section uses a Think-Pair-Share activity where students discuss their daily technology habits, asking about devices used, frequency, and reasons. The language in use section teaches adverbs of frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never) with the present simple tense, including rules for placement and practice exercises. By the end, students should be able to discuss technology habits, use adverbs of frequency correctly, and understand related listening content.
