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
