Apple Enters the Foldable Phone Market
How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
Which capability explains the reference to multitasking?
Correct answer: A — Use two apps together
Why: The text describes two apps on the inner screen.
Clue in the story: Apple describes a design that expands from an outer display to a larger interior screen, with side-by-side multitasking.
Which conclusion goes beyond the availability reported?
Correct answer: B — All shops can immediately fill every order
Why: A launch and universal availability are different claims.
Clue in the story: Reuters reported the start of iPhone Duo sales on October 23. Limited walk-in stock means the launch does not guarantee immediate availability everywhere.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Describe a task that could benefit from the larger display.
One possible answer: I could read a message while checking a map.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
