Logitech Makes a New Folding Mouse

Introduction

Logitech is making a new wireless mouse. It is small and it folds.

Main Body

The mouse folds like a small box. It is very small. You can put it in your pocket. It is better for your hand than a laptop touch pad. It does not have a wheel. It has a touch area to scroll. It uses Bluetooth. It can connect to three computers at one time. People with left or right hands can use it. It looks like the Keys-to-Go 2 keyboard. We only see a grey mouse now, but there may be other colors.

Conclusion

Logitech did not say the price or the date yet.

⚡ The 'Can' Power-Up

In this text, we see the word can used to show what a thing is able to do. For A2 learners, this is the fastest way to describe a product.

How it works: Subject + can + action

Examples from the text:

  • You ext ext{→} can ext ext{→} put it in your pocket.
  • It ext ext{→} can ext ext{→} connect to three computers.
  • People ext ext{→} can ext ext{→} use it.

💡 Simple Tip: Notice that we don't say "can to put" or "cans use." The word can stays the same for everyone (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and always takes a simple action word after it.
