If your phone or laptop could talk, what do you think it would say about you? Have a bit of fun with it.

A natural way to answer

I think my laptop would say I work too late. It would probably tell me to close some of the many tabs I always have open and to take more breaks. It might also ask me to clean the keyboard.

Key phrases to use

• have a go at me — to criticise or scold someone, often quite directly“My boss had a go at me for being late.”
• throw me under the bus — to betray or blame someone to protect yourself“He threw me under the bus to save his own job.”
• fallen asleep on it — to drift off to sleep while using or holding something“I fell asleep on the sofa watching TV.”
