Let’s get started. I’d like to introduce you to your teacher, Eliot. He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here’s a fun fact about Eliot: The first piece of technology Eliot ever owned was a cassette tape player.&nbsp; Eliot Intro Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today’s show. I’m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh. Today, we’re going to look at four words that will be useful for the Speaking section of the IELTS. The topic of technology is a popular source of questions on the IELTS Speaking test, so we’re going to go over a few good vocabulary words that you can use to talk about the field of technology as a whole, as well as some specific pieces of technology. As always, make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words. Once again, the theme for the words in today’s episode is technology, and ways to describe different types of technology and technological advances. Device So let’s get started. The first word on our list is device. So let’s start with that one, okay? What does the word “device” mean? Well, a device is any technological machine. I know this sounds pretty general, so let’s get a more specific look. When we use the word “device”, we are typically speaking about an electronic item that allows people to get on the Internet, make phone calls, or possibly send messages. So usually when we say “device” we are talking about someone’s phone, or computer, or tablet. However, there are more kinds of devices than just the ones you use to connect to the Internet or call your mom. Technically, any mechanical or electronic tool is a device. For example, while your laptop is a device, something as simple as a measuring stick is also a device. A device is any piece of technological equipment. Don’t worry too much about being able to identify every single device. Just remember that most of the time when someone uses the word device, they’re talking about a phone or a computer. For example, you may have seen advertisements for services that allow you to watch television shows on “all of your devices.” Obviously these ads are using the word “device” to refer to things like phones, computers, and televisions – not measuring sticks! So, that’s device. Mobile The next word is mobile. What does mobile mean? Well, the word mobile describes technology related to phones, or other wireless devices that connect to the Internet or send calls and text messages to people So you can see there is some overlap between “mobile” and “device.” To keep things from getting confusing, let’s be really clear about the differences between these two words. The word “device” is a noun, meaning that a device is a thing -- like a cellphone or computer. The word “mobile” is an adjective, meaning it describes something. In this case, we use the word mobile to describe anything that is a wireless device. So a television is a device. A television that can wirelessly connect to the internet is a mobile device. However, you’ll mostly hear this word, mobile, used to describe cell...

Listen to this dialogue between Ada and Jackie as Jackie helps Ada buy a new phone. See if you can pick out the 4 IELTS vocabulary words as you listen. Dialogue Part 1 Ada: Hi there! I’ve just moved here from the United Kingdom...so obviously my UK phone doesn’t work anymore. I’m looking to get a new SIM card so that I can use my mobile phone here in America...or I might even be open to buying a new device altogether, depending on how much it would cost. Is that something you could help me with? Jackie: Yes, of course! We do offer some plans that are SIM card only, depending on whether the device you’re using is compatible with our company’s SIM cards. Would you prefer a SIM card only plan, or do you think maybe it’s time for a new phone? Ada: Are the SIM card only plans cheaper? Jackie: Well yes. Since you aren’t paying for the price of a brand new mobile phone, the SIM card only plans tend to cost less…though we do have a couple of deals going on right now that would allow you to get a pretty great phone for much cheaper than they would normally cost brand new. Ada: Okay, I’ll think about it. Can you tell me a little about the SIM card only plans that you offer?&nbsp; Jackie: Sure, but before we get started, why don’t you let me have a look at your phone, and I can tell you if it will be compatible with any of our SIM cards. Unfortunately if it’s not compatible you’ll need to get a new device in order to use our cards. Ada: Yeah, no problem, here’s my phone. &nbsp; Jackie: …Oh yeah, this mobile is pretty old. Let me just check in back and see if we have any of the older SIM cards left in stock. Ada: Okay, thanks. &nbsp; Jackie: …I’m sorry. I don’t think we have anything that is compatible with your current phone. On the bright side, maybe it’s time for an upgrade! Would you be interested in seeing some of the newer devices that we have available? Ada: Yeah sure, why not. Jackie: Great, let’s start with this one...So this is the XC-500, and it’s got all your standard smartphone features, plus a high definition screen. And the developers have made some huge innovations with the voice recognition technology – basically you can set it up to respond specifically to your voice. So that’s pretty cool. Ada: Yeah, that’s neat. &nbsp; Jackie: ...And then this...

** The ritual of Richard to solve any business-issues
** What to do if your business/relationship/life doesn’t work out the way you want it to
** The one thing Richard would do completely different if he were 20 years old again 
** The greatest challenge we face in our age according to Richard - and how to deal with it
