Student B: Yes, the XS 100 is the cheapest, but it can't store many songs compared to the other players. The JAMS 300, on the other hand, can store more songs than the XS 100. It can store up to 1,000 songs, which is double the amount compared to the XS 100. The JAMS 300 is heavier than the XS 100, weighing 519 grams. It also has a larger screen size of 5 cm x 1.5 cm.
Teacher: Great job, students! You both made excellent comparisons between the MP3 players. Now, let's summarize the information.
The XS 100 is the cheapest MP3 player, with a price of £35. It is also the lightest, weighing only 22 grams, and it has the smallest screen size of 4 cm x 1 cm. However, it has the smallest storage capacity, being able to store only 500 songs.
On the other hand, the JAMS 300 is more expensive than the XS 100, costing £75. It is heavier, weighing 519 grams, and it has a larger screen size of 5 cm x 1.5 cm. However, it has a greater storage capacity, being able to store up to 1,000 songs.
These comparisons show us that the XS 100 is the cheapest option for those who don't need to store many songs and prefer a lightweight and small device. On the other hand, if you prioritize more storage space and don't mind a slightly higher price and weight, the JAMS 300 is a better choice.
I hope this helps clarify the differences between the three MP3 players for you. Is there anything else you would like to know or discuss?
