any time
But have you ever needed to call someone urgently and there is no signal, the
battery power has run out, or you have used all of your credit and, if you can find a
place to buy credits for your cell phone, the computers at the cell phone company
have just gone down? Well, I guess nothing is perfect!
a) Why have creative people invented modern gadgets?
b) Have you ever heard of a "landline"?
c) Can you guess the meaning of "landline" from the text?
d) What do you think the author means by "someone special"?

b) Have you ever heard of a "landline"?
Esta resposta é pessoal, mas pergunta se você já ouviu falar em telefone fixo, se não souber o que é isso são aqueles que ficam na parede ou em mesas e só serve pra ligações e mensagens, acho que seria interessante botar "Yes, I have already heard of a landline" ou só botar o clássico Yes, I do, mas o do não seria tão bom nesse contexto

Esta é outra resposta pessoal, mas pergunta se você consegue adivinhar o significado de landline (telefone fixo) usando o texto. Se precisar de ajuda para formular a resposta avise nos comentários

He means someone that you love, maybe a boyfriend, a girlfriend or you parents, someone that you care and get along.
