Hi Jaume,
I can tell you that I only use the free facilities, and I pay the same as another person who speaks and sends sms at the finaly of the month. For example, if I want to use the internet, I must look for some free wifi conection, like at home.
The Nokia Maps is an aplicacion wich you can see all the routes from the world, wich you download before. It save me more than once!
If you have a Nokia mobil phone, it’ll probably be on you mobile phone, but if not, you must go to the Nokia web page and then look all the aplications and download all what you want. And I don’t know if it can be istalled on other software surfaces,I’ll check it.
A future man.
My mobil it’s very important for me, because sometimes i’m not in home and I need speak with a friend and it’s important i need it. My life without phone will continues but with diferents things, because the life it’s more important than the mobil. I change my mobil when it brokens or when I lose. I don’t use old the aplications like the internet, because if i have to used the internet for that i can wait and go home to use. I’m not a mobil phone adict but I allways bring with me. In spain we use the mobil in the restaruants, in the street and it doesn’t matter the time you use, and the people don’t say nothing.
Hi Eloi,
You’re a lucky man because I never find any free wi-fi internet connection. I’ve got a Nokia mobile and I’ll try to download the maps.
Thank you very much for your information.
Carla,
I’m convinced you’ll survive without your mobile. However, it’s a gadget that always goes with us everywhere and we are always able to have an explanation for it. I think we are unable to live with it and it’s a shame!.
May I ask you a question? Where is your mobile phone when you are playing a basketball match?
Don’t mention it!
Said,
Do you call the police with your mobile? Really?
Marc,
Have you got other essential things in your life? What about your English books? Where is your mobile when you are training football? Would you answer your mobile while playing a football match?
For me, the phone isn’t very important,I only use it in cases where I need to relate with people and I can’t locate and when I have nothing more to do. I change the phone when my father was changing carriers or phone when I broke.
Normally I use all the applications except the mobile internet connection (I hear music, I make photos, send SMS, call friends, play games…)
The Spanish people today can not survive without their mobile, the children who have 12 or 13 years are addicted to phones, making his songs, sending sms all day, I think they are too Adicts. when I was 13 still had no phone and lived as well.
In conclusion I believe that many things we could be deleted and will not happen anything.
1.for me my mobile phone is very important for various reasons as when i call y friends or call my parents.
2. yes, the mobile it’s not necessary for the life.
3. I have the same mobile phone for the las year, the mobiles quickly update but it’s no reason fot the change the mobile.
4. yes I do.
5. yes, because the mobile we are a needed object.
6. In spainthe mobiles phones are expensive and all the people you have one. In spain is typical use in the street or square and many places.
Jordi,
Finally you sent us a message!. Thank you!
Laia,
Could you live without your mobile nowadays?
HI Jaume!
Yes i can, why not?
1. My mophile phone for me is a form of comunicate when I stay out my house or I want to phone to my friend. In fact, I have a fashion-mobile phone because the mobile phone isn’t only for calls, now whit it you can doing photografs or playing videos or playing games, and I think that this is good for more people, but form me, no.
I think that I can live whitout my mobilephone because the mayority of times that people calls me, I not ears it. And my conclusion is: If I don’t have old day pendent of my mobile-phone, I can live whitout it, no?
What do yo think Juame?
3.I changed my telephone 1 week ago, but my antique mobile-phone had 3 years more or less. Now I changed because my HANDSOME boyfriend give me for my birthday; and it have the best-camera for take photos, WI-FI, video-camera and is tounch-mobile; is the BEST mobile-phone!
4.Now yes, because this mobile-phone have the important aplications for ordinary days and I use old aplications.
5. No, this week yes because was a new telephone, but as I said before, I don’t need the mobile-phone in my life.
6. It’s completely different of the book. In the examples of the book said that use in the specific time or place, or use only for write a missage; but in Sapin Old people use them in old place and for old things.
1. What does your mobile mean for you?
For me my mobile it’s necessary, but I’m not mobile adicct. I use it for call me friends and my family. But I don’t pass all day with that. And often I forget it in my house or I haven’t got it with me. Although I use it for any emergency.
2. Can you imagine your life without your mobile?
Yes I can imagine my life without mobile, but It would be more complicated, because sometimes it’s very necessary and convenient.
3. How often do you change it? Why? I don’t know, I change of mobile when this it’s broken. because if it’s broken, I can’t call and not found.
I have changed of mobile two times.
4. Do you use all the applications they have? (Explain if your answer is negative) yes I do in general.
5. Are you a mobile phone addict? Why? No I’m not, because I can live perfect without it. I not need and in actually there are a lots of means for communicate with your friends or another persons.
6. Can you describe the typical use of mobile phones in our country? Is it similar to, or different from the descriptions in your book? In Spain it’s typical to use the mobile phone for call anybody in anyplace. In general the people in this country are mobile addicted and everybody want a last technology in mobiles, but are very expensive.
Karen,
Thanks for your comments. I’ve got the impression you are a little bit late. It was not necessary to copy the questions just answer them.
