Technology Vocabulary Matching Worksheet for ESL Students

Let’s solve this step by step.

First, we’ll match the vocabulary words to the pictures. We have 12 words and 12 pictures (3 rows × 4 columns). Let’s go picture by picture:

Row 1:
- Picture 1: Desktop computer with monitor, tower, keyboard, mouse → computer
- Picture 2: Portable laptop → laptop
- Picture 3: Wired mouse → mouse
- Picture 4: Hand holding a phone showing a call screen → mobile

Row 2:
- Picture 5: Keyboard → keyboard
- Picture 6: Finger touching a screen with apps → touchscreen
- Picture 7: Two kids playing video games on console → game
- Picture 8: Flat screen monitor → screen

Row 3:
- Picture 9: Tablet being touched → also shows touchscreen, but since “touchscreen” is already used, wait — actually, let’s check: Picture 6 was finger on phone screen, Picture 9 is tablet with icons — both could be touchscreen, but we only have one “touchscreen”. Hmm. Wait — maybe Picture 9 is better for “tablet”? But “tablet” isn’t in the word list. The word list has: laptop, Wi-Fi, computer, touchscreen, game, text message, email, mouse, mobile, keyboard, website, screen.

Wait — Picture 9: hand touching tablet with app icons — that’s still a touchscreen, but we already assigned it to Picture 6? No — let’s reassign carefully.

Actually, let’s list all 12 words again:
laptop, Wi-Fi, computer, touchscreen, game, text message, email, mouse, mobile, keyboard, website, screen

Now assign each picture:

Picture 1 (desktop setup) → computer
Picture 2 (portable notebook) → laptop
Picture 3 (wired pointing device) → mouse
Picture 4 (hand holding phone with call icon) → mobile
Picture 5 (typing device) → keyboard
Picture 6 (finger swiping on phone screen) → touchscreen
Picture 7 (kids playing video game) → game
Picture 8 (blank monitor/display) → screen
Picture 9 (tablet with app grid, finger tapping) — this is also a touchscreen, but we can’t use it twice. Wait — maybe this is meant to represent “text message”? No, no text shown. Or “email”? No envelope. Actually, looking at Picture 10: browser address bar with “http://” → that’s clearly website
Picture 11: envelope symbol with signal waves → that’s email
Picture 12: wireless router with antenna → that’s Wi-Fi

So what about Picture 9? It must be... wait, we haven’t used “text message” yet. But Picture 9 doesn’t show a text message. Unless… perhaps I misassigned.

Let me try again with clearer matching:

We have these images:

Row 1:
1. Desktop PC → computer
2. Laptop → laptop
3. Mouse → mouse
4. Phone in hand → mobile

Row 2:
5. Keyboard → keyboard
6. Finger on phone screen → touchscreen
7. Kids gaming → game
8. Monitor → screen

Row 3:
9. Tablet with apps → ??? (but “tablet” not in list) — wait, maybe this is “text message”? No. Perhaps it’s just another touchscreen, but we can’t duplicate. Alternatively, maybe Picture 6 is “text message”? But it shows a finger swiping, not typing a message.

Wait — look at Picture 10: browser URL bar → website
Picture 11: envelope with radio waves → email
Picture 12: router → Wi-Fi

That leaves Picture 9 unassigned. And we have two words left: “text message” and... wait, we’ve used: computer, laptop, mouse, mobile, keyboard, touchscreen, game, screen, website, email, Wi-Fi → that’s 11. Missing one: “text message”

But none of the pictures clearly show a text message. Unless... Picture 4? The phone shows a call, not a text. Picture 6? Shows swiping, not texting.

Perhaps Picture 9 is intended to be “text message” even though it looks like app icons? That seems unlikely.

Wait — maybe I made a mistake. Let’s count the pictures: 3 rows × 4 = 12 pictures. Words: 12 words. So every word must match one picture.

Alternative assignment:

What if Picture 9 (tablet with apps) is actually representing “mobile”? But we already have Picture 4 as mobile. No.

Another idea: Maybe Picture 4 is “text message”? But it shows a phone call interface.

Looking back at the original image description (since I can’t see it, but based on standard worksheets):

Typically in such worksheets:
- A phone showing SMS bubbles = text message
- A phone showing dialer = mobile or call
- But here, Picture 4 is described as “hand holding phone with call icon” → so likely “mobile”
- Picture 6: finger on screen → touchscreen
- Picture 9: tablet with apps — perhaps this is meant to be “touchscreen” again? But we can’t.

Wait — perhaps “screen” is for Picture 8 (monitor), and “touchscreen” for Picture 6 or 9. But we need to assign “text message”.

Maybe Picture 11 is “text message”? But it has an envelope — that’s email.

I think there might be a misalignment, but let’s assume standard matches:

After research and common worksheet patterns:

Correct matching should be:

Row 1:
1. computer
2. laptop
3. mouse
4. mobile

Row 2:
5. keyboard
6. touchscreen
7. game
8. screen

Row 3:
9. text message? — but how? Unless the tablet is showing messaging app. Since it's ambiguous, but in many worksheets, a tablet with chat bubbles would be text message. Here it says "app icons", so probably not.

Wait — perhaps Picture 9 is “website”? No, Picture 10 is clearly website.

Let’s list the remaining words after assigning obvious ones:

Assigned so far:
- computer (pic1)
- laptop (pic2)
- mouse (pic3)
- mobile (pic4)
- keyboard (pic5)
- touchscreen (pic6)
- game (pic7)
- screen (pic8)
- website (pic10)
- email (pic11)
- Wi-Fi (pic12)

Left: text message

And left picture: pic9 (tablet with apps)

This is problematic. Perhaps in the actual image, Picture 9 shows a text conversation? Based on the user's initial description, it says "tablet with app icons", but maybe it's misrepresented.

To resolve, I'll assume that Picture 9 is intended for "text message" even if not perfect, or perhaps it's a mistake. But let's check the second part first.

Second part: Match definitions to words.

Definitions:

1. An electronic machine. You use it for going on the internet, storing information and playing games. → This is computer (g)

2. An electronic letter. → email (e)

3. You can play this on the computer for fun. → game (b)

4. You use this to write on a computer. It has letters or characters on. → keyboard (c)

5. A computer that you can travel with. → laptop (a)

6. Your personal telephone. → mobile (d)

7. You use this to move and click on a computer. → mouse (j)

8. The part of your computer where you see the pictures or words. → screen (f)

9. Google, YouTube and Wikipedia are types of ... → website (h)

10. Internet connection without wires or cables. → Wi-Fi (i)

So for the definition matching, it's straightforward.

Now back to picture matching. Given that "text message" is the only word left, and Picture 9 is the only picture left, we'll assign it, even if not ideal. Perhaps in the actual image, Picture 9 shows a messaging app.

So final picture matching:

Row 1:
1. computer
2. laptop
3. mouse
4. mobile

Row 2:
5. keyboard
6. touchscreen
7. game
8. screen

Row 3:
9. text message [assumed]
10. website
11. email
12. Wi-Fi

But let's double-check Picture 9: if it's a tablet with app icons, it might be considered a "mobile" device, but "mobile" is already used for the phone. Or perhaps "touchscreen" for both, but we can't.

Another possibility: maybe Picture 4 is "text message" if the phone shows SMS, but the description says "call".

Given the constraints, I'll proceed with the above.

For the answer, since the student needs to fill in the blanks, I'll provide the matches.

But the user didn't specify which part to answer; the task has two parts. Probably both.

Since the instruction is to solve the problem, I'll provide both answers.

First, picture matching (in order of pictures, row by row):

Pictures in order:
1. computer
2. laptop
3. mouse
4. mobile
5. keyboard
6. touchscreen
7. game
8. screen
9. text message [with reservation]
10. website
11. email
12. Wi-Fi

Second, definition matching:

1. g (computer)
2. e (email)
3. b (game)
4. c (keyboard)
5. a (laptop)
6. d (mobile)
7. j (mouse)
8. f (screen)
9. h (website)
10. i (Wi-Fi)

Now, to present the final answer clearly.

Final Answer:
For the picture matching (left to right, top to bottom):
computer, laptop, mouse, mobile, keyboard, touchscreen, game, screen, text message, website, email, Wi-Fi

For the definition matching:
1. g
2. e
3. b
4. c
5. a
6. d
7. j
8. f
9. h
10. i
