Hi there i'm Mark from MarkTeacher.com and this is another IELTS speaking
answer. The question in this video is about computers. Who taught you how to
use a computer? Actually I don't think any one person taught me how. I was lucky
enough to be born in the early 90s, where family computers and personal computers
were becoming more widespread. I actually remember my dad coming home
with our first family PC around 1995 or 1996, so I was old enough then to start
learning how computers worked - what their functions were, what their capabilities
were, so I essentially learned intuitively. I just learned by trial and
error. I tried doing things and made mistakes and that's how I learned most
of the basic functions of the PC. Later on, when IT became a common subject in
school, we learnt how to create email addresses, use Excel spreadsheets, and
some of the more advanced features at school, but for the most part I'm
'self-taught' with computers - I learned everything pretty much by myself. If you
