2 Smart gadgets UNIT 1 Reading A What do you think of selfies? Do you post selfies on social media? Read and find out what a selfie drone can do. Mike’s Blog 90 Follow Selfies have been around for some time now. Everyone takes selfies holding out their mobile phones as far as possible or using a selfie stick. They then post them on social media, email them as attachments or print them out. Personally, I think most selfies are boring! There are new gadgets that can make your selfie much more exciting! My friend Jack thinks I’m being difficult. He believes that I expect too much of people and gadgets. Helen and Kate say that I act like I know everything. They call me a ‘know-it- all’. But seriously, if you read about these new gadgets, you’ll see what I mean! The wonderful gadget I want to tell you about is a small, pocket- size drone. It takes pictures while it is up in the sky and sends them to your smartphone!You need to download an app that connects the drone to your phone, of course. People think it is just one more gadget that will disappear within a month. I disagree! It would really be cool to take photos of yourself while you’re doing something exciting! So, instead of posting more photos of your face just before you climb a mountain, you can actually take and post photos while you’re climbing!You can post photos of yourself and your friends on a boat in the middle of the sea, at the beach, on horseback, on your bicycle, anywhere and anytime you like! The truth is, I am thinking of buying one myself! I want to buy it before our skiing holiday. I’m going to snowboard down a mountain and I know my friends won’t believe me if I just tell them. So drone selfies will prove that I’ve actually done it! B Write R (right), W (wrong) or DS (doesn’t say). 1 Very few people take normal selfies. ........ 2 Jack agrees with Mike that selfies are boring. ........ 3 The pocket-size drone can be connected to a smartphone. ........ 4 You cannot take selfies from up in the sky without a drone. ........ 5 Jack will probably buy a selfie drone. ........ 6 Drone selfies will prove that Mike is good at skateboarding. ........ 8
