E7 G - My digital day – Über Mediennutzung sprechen

Einleitung

Look. Think. Say one sentence.

What can you see? Try first in English.

Word bank: a phone · a screen · time · an app · a message

Sentence starter: I can see ...

Hint: You only need one short sentence.

Deutsch-Hilfe, wenn nötig: Du beschreibst nur, was du auf dem Bild erkennst. Es geht noch nicht um Deine eigene Mediennutzung.

In this aiMOOC you talk about a fictional digital day. You use invented data, short time diagrams and simple English. You never have to give private screen-time data, private account names or private social-media information.

Learning path: notice → understand → try → use → communicate → feedback → improve → use again

Privacy rule: Use the fictional profiles in this course. If you create your own example, invent the data.

I can ...

After this course, you can say:

I can name digital activities.
I can read a simple time diagram.
I can say when and how often a fictional person uses digital media.
I can ask and answer short questions about a digital day.
I can write 5–7 connected sentences about a fictional digital day.
I can give one simple reason with because.
I can understand the main idea of a short video clip.

Before you start: What do you already know?

Try first. Match the idea in your head. Do not translate every word.

phone · laptop · headphones · message · video · game · homework · music

Say two short sentences:

Model: I use a laptop for homework. I listen to music.

Hint: Use I + verb + object.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Wenn Dir ein Wort fehlt, nutze die Wortbank. Du musst keine echten Daten über Dich nennen.

Media start: A fictional digital day

Meet Mia. Mia is a fictional student. The data are invented for learning.

Time	Activity	Minutes
07:10	listens to music	10
15:30	uses a laptop for homework	25
16:20	messages a friend	15
18:00	watches a short video	20
19:30	plays a game	10

Read the time diagram.

07:00 ┃ 🎧 music ┃ 10 min 15:30 ┃ 💻 homework ┃ 25 min 16:20 ┃ 💬 messages ┃ 15 min 18:00 ┃ 📱 video ┃ 20 min 19:30 ┃ 🎮 game ┃ 10 min

Try: Say three sentences.

Model: Mia listens to music at seven ten. She uses a laptop after school. She watches a video in the evening.

Hint: Use at ..., after school and in the evening.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Das Diagramm zeigt erfundene Zeiten. Lies nur die Informationen ab.

Media words in context

Try first: Cover the right column. What can you understand from the English chunks?

Listening and Viewing

Viewing 1: Screen time – catch the main idea

Watch only the beginning first. Keep the captions off for your first try.

First viewing: Watch about the first 30–40 seconds.

Choose the words you hear or understand:

screen · time · children · phone · school · breakfast

Do not stop for every unknown word. Listen for the main idea.

Second viewing: Watch the same part again. Now use English captions if you need them.

Hint: Focus on only two questions: What is the topic? Who is the topic about?

Deutsch-Hilfe: Beim ersten Hören reicht die Hauptidee. Untertitel erst beim zweiten Versuch.

Mini-transfer: Say one sentence: The video is about ...

Viewing 2: A different kind of phone

Try first: Watch a short part. What do you think a dumbphone is?

Sentence starter: I think it is a phone that ...

Hint: Look at the phone and listen for familiar words.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Du musst nicht jedes Wort verstehen. Nutze Bild und Kontext.

Reading

Three fictional profiles

Profile A – Mia

Mia uses digital media at different times. In the morning, she listens to music for ten minutes. After school, she uses a laptop for homework. Later, she sends messages. In the evening, she watches one short video. She also plays a game for ten minutes.

Profile B – Jay

Jay often uses a tablet after school. He first checks his homework platform for twenty minutes. Then he listens to a podcast for fifteen minutes. In the evening, he sometimes plays an online game for twenty minutes. He does not use his phone during dinner.

Profile C – Sam

Sam usually uses a laptop in the afternoon. Sam does homework online for thirty minutes and then takes a break. Later, Sam watches a tutorial for fifteen minutes. In the evening, Sam sends two messages and puts the phone away.

Try: Find one answer for each question.

Who listens to a podcast?
Who takes a break after homework?
Who does not use a phone during dinner?

Hint: Scan for the key words podcast, break and dinner.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Suche gezielt nach den Schlüsselwörtern. Du musst nicht jeden Satz übersetzen.

Read a second time: Notice useful language

Look for these patterns:

Time: in the morning · after school · in the afternoon · in the evening Frequency: usually · often · sometimes Order: first · then · later Reason: because

Model: Jay sometimes plays a game in the evening. Model: Sam takes a break because thirty minutes of homework is enough for one block.

Vocabulary

Word bank: My digital day

English	Use it in a chunk
screen	look at a screen
message	send a message
video	watch a video
music	listen to music
game	play a game
homework	do homework
break	take a break
online	do homework online
usually	I usually ...
sometimes	I sometimes ...

Try: Pick four chunks. Make four short sentences about Mia, Jay or Sam.

Do not use private data.

Pronunciation

Speak clearly, not perfectly

Goal: Be easy to understand. You do not need a perfect accent.

Say these chunks slowly:

I usually watch videos after school. I sometimes play a game in the evening. I listen to music in the morning.

Now say them again in small groups of words:

I usually / watch videos / after school. I sometimes / play a game / in the evening. I listen to music / in the morning.

Tip: Stress the important words: usually – watch – videos – school.

Partner feedback: Could you understand the time and the activity?

Deutsch-Hilfe: Deutlich sprechen ist wichtiger als akzentfrei sprechen.

Speaking

Ask and answer

Use only fictional information.

A: When does Mia use her laptop? B: She uses it after school.

A: What does Jay do in the evening? B: He sometimes plays a game.

A: How long does Sam watch a tutorial? B: For fifteen minutes.

Useful questions:

What does ... do? When does ...? How long does ...? Does ... use ...?

Useful answers:

He/She ... At ... After school. For ... minutes. Yes, he/she does. No, he/she doesn't.

Speaking ladder

Step 1 – easy: Say one activity. Step 2 – better: Add a time. Step 3 – connected: Add then or later. Step 4 – explain: Add one reason with because.

Example: Mia uses a laptop after school. Then she sends messages. Later, she watches a video because she wants to relax.

Writing

Writing frame: A fictional digital day

Write 5–7 sentences about an invented person.

Sentence starters:

In the morning, ... After school, ... First, ... Then, ... Later, ... In the evening, ... He/She usually ... He/She sometimes ... He/She ... because ...

Word bank: phone · laptop · tablet · music · message · video · homework · game · break

Model text:

Alex uses a laptop after school. First, Alex does homework for twenty minutes. Then Alex takes a break. Later, Alex listens to music. In the evening, Alex watches a short video. Alex sometimes plays a game because it is fun.

Check: Did you use a time phrase? Did you use then or later? Did you use a full stop?

Important: The person and the data can be completely invented.

Mediation

English first – German help only when needed

A German classmate asks: „Wann nutzt Mia digitale Medien?“

Do not translate every word. Give the key information in simple English.

Try: Mia ...

Hint: Use two time phrases and two activities.

Possible structure: In the morning, Mia ... After school, she ...

Deutsch-Hilfe: Vermittle nur die wichtigsten Informationen. Eine Wort-für-Wort-Übersetzung ist nicht nötig.

Functional grammar

Present simple for routines

Use the present simple for routines and repeated activities.

I watch videos. You play games. Mia watches videos. Jay plays games.

Notice: With he / she / it, the verb often gets -s.

Try:

Mia ___ a video. Jay ___ a game. Sam ___ a laptop.

Hint: watches · plays · uses

Frequency words

usually = often true often = many times sometimes = not always

Put the word before the main verb:

Mia usually uses a laptop after school. Jay sometimes plays a game.

Try: Make one sentence with usually and one with sometimes.

Give a reason with because

because connects an action and a reason.

Sam watches a tutorial because it helps with homework.

Try: Mia listens to music because ...

Hint: it is fun · it helps her relax · she likes the song

E-Ausblick: one controlled past perfect example

This is only a small look ahead. You do not need it for the main tasks.

By 8 p.m., Sam had finished the online homework.

Notice only the form: had + past participle.

For this course, keep using the present simple in your own main texts.

Time diagrams with fictional data

Diagram A: Mia

All data are invented.

Activity	Time	Visual bar
music	10 min	■■
homework online	25 min	■■■■■
messages	15 min	■■■
video	20 min	■■■■
game	10 min	■■

Read it: Which activity is longest? Which two activities have the same time?

Sentence starter: The longest activity is ...

Diagram B: Jay

Time	Activity
15:15–15:35	homework platform
16:10–16:25	podcast
18:30–18:50	game
20:00–20:10	messages

Mini-transfer: Say the order with first – then – later – in the evening.

Diagram C: Compare without judging

Fictional person	Learning	Entertainment	Messages
Mia	25 min	40 min	15 min
Jay	20 min	35 min	10 min
Sam	30 min	15 min	10 min

Try: Make two factual comparison sentences.

Model: Sam has more learning time than Jay. Mia has more entertainment time than Sam.

Important: The table is not a rating of good or bad media use. It is only practice data.

Media and balance

Digital media can be used for learning, communication and entertainment. A balanced day can also include sleep, school, movement, hobbies, friends, family and breaks.

Think about the fictional profiles, not about private data.

Try: Which profile includes a break? Which profile has a screen-free dinner?

Useful chunk: A break can help because ...

Safe media learning

Use fictional profiles in class tasks.
Do not post private account names, private chats or personal usage statistics.
Audio or video recordings are voluntary and can stay private.
Do not upload recordings without clear permission.
Do not send personal student work to an external AI tool without permission.
If you use AI feedback, check whether the language fits your level and keep your own ideas and wording.

Feedback and improve

Read your speaking or writing once more.

Green check:

I named an activity. I added a time. I used a full sentence. I used then, later or because. My meaning is clear.

Improve one thing only.

First version: Mia use a laptop after school. Improved version: Mia uses a laptop after school.

First version: Jay plays a game. Improved version: Jay plays a game in the evening.

Mini-transfer

Create a new fictional profile called Taylor. Use this invented plan:

07:20 music – 10 min 15:40 homework – 20 min 16:30 messages – 10 min 18:10 video – 15 min 19:00 break – 20 min

Task: Say four connected sentences.

Help 1: In the morning ... After school ... Later ... In the evening ... Help 2: Taylor listens ... Taylor does ... Taylor sends ... Taylor watches ... Help 3: Add then or because.
