What does the first speaker do?

Match the topic words to their meanings.

Duc used a tablet to organize class notes. It was portable and allowed him to search a document quickly, but notifications often interrupted his study. He compared the device’s useful capabilities with its limitations before recommending it to a friend. A teacher advised turning off non-essential alerts and backing up work. Duc also checked the privacy settings of a note-sharing application. He did not publish classmates’ names or passwords. For a school display, he explained that future devices might have better accessibility tools, but he labelled this as a prediction rather than a fact. His conclusion was that a device should solve a clear problem, not simply be the newest product.
