This is Mark from MarkTeacher.com with a high-band IELTS speaking answer. This
-
question is about technology. How has technology changed people's lives?
-
Well, I think technology has changed people's lives in a lot of different
-
ways. I think the biggest change has been the amount that we interact with other
-
people. For example, if I'm lost and I need directions, in the past I would have
-
to ask someone where to go, but nowadays I can just look it up in the palm of my
-
hand - in just a few clicks. I can look for the street I need, how long it'll take,
-
and the best route to get there. Another example could be cooking a home or
-
learning how to do something. In the past, I would need to ask someone for
-
advice but now, again, I have an app on my phone that can teach me and can give me
-
the information I need. So I think these days people are less reliant on other
-
people's advice because they have all the information they need in the palm of
-
their hand - at the touch of a button. So I think the difference day to day that
-
makes has been quite large and I've noticed that people chat with each other
-
and ask each other for help much less. Check out MarkTeacher.com for more
