🔍 La tecnología en la vida diaria — Technology in Daily Life
Technology vocabulary is tested across all four skills. The key traps are gender (internet is masculine but rarely takes an article in set phrases) and the correct preposition in navegar por internet. Master these phrases and you will stand out from students who rely only on basic words like el móvil.
| Español | Inglés | Ejemplo |
|---|---|---|
| el móvil | mobile phone | Uso el móvil para todo. |
| el ordenador / el portátil | computer / laptop | Tengo un portátil nuevo. |
| internet (masc.) | the internet | Navego por internet. (NOT "navego el internet") |
| descargar | to download | Descargo música gratis. |
| subir (una foto) | to upload / post | Subo fotos cada día. |
| cargar el móvil | to charge the phone | Cargo el móvil por la noche. |
| hacer una videollamada | to make a video call | Hago videollamadas con mis abuelos. |
⭐ GCSE examiners reward balanced opinions
For technology topics, practise contrasting your views using Higher-tier connectives: "Es muy útil... sin embargo, puede ser adictivo." OR "Por un lado... pero por otro lado..." Show you can evaluate, not just list. A student who only says me gusta la tecnología without any counter-argument is limited to Foundation-tier language, regardless of how accurate it is.
