VOCABULARY BANK 6.1 Paraphrasing
This lesson introduces students to the topic of Human– Computer Interaction. It looks at different ways in which humans can interact with computers and covers some related vocabulary. The vocabulary activities involve changing word forms and identifying synonyms to help prepare students for the essay-writing tasks in later lessons. There are also some paraphrasing activities using synonyms.
Lesson aims
At the end of this lesson, students should: • understand key vocabulary related to Human– Computer Interaction
• have revised and expanded their knowledge of key paraphrasing techniques
• have practised paraphrasing a text using synonyms, noun form changes and verb form changes (active ↔ passive)
Introduction
Revise ways of paraphrasing sentences. Write the following sentence from Unit 6 on the board, along with the paraphrase, and ask students to say what changes have been made to the paraphrased sentence.
Original sentence: During the 2010s, much of the copper wire which connected the phone network was replaced by fibre-optic cables.
Paraphrase: Fibre-optic cables replaced a large proportion of the copper wire linking the phone network, during the 2010s.

Answers
speech, hearing, touch, vision: in other words, all of the senses apart from taste and smell
3. Set for pairwork, group discussion and class feedback. Elicit different ways in which students have interacted with various computing devices and encourage them to focus on the ways they interacted with the device.
B
Remind students that touch plays a very important part in interacting with smartphones, tablets and other devices with smart screens. Different types of finger movements can be used to control the devices. Some of the words here can only be used with a touch screen, but some can be used with a mouse or keyboard.
