MANNERS: A way of behaving that is considered acceptable in your country or culture.


Let's begin this lesson by revising some phone language vocabulary.

2- Explain in your own words what these are:

a- Do you agree with what Debrett's says? 
b- Do you ever do any of these things?
c- Are they a problem where you live?
d- Are there any other things people do with their phones that annoy you?


4- Match the highlighted phrases in the text with their meaning. Two of the phrases match the same meaning:

A- You don't need to do this.
B- Don't do this. It isn't allowed/ permitted.
C- It's necessary or compulsory to do this.
