- And explain how you feel about it.
Sample Answer
Today I’d like to talk about Facebook, which is probably the most commonly-used app on my phone. You know, I am not really sure why but Facebook can be very addictive.
If I’m not mistaken, I first knew about Facebook when I was in
secondary school and at that time, not many people knew about it since the majority was all hooked on Zing Me, a Vietnamese social media platform. Unlike the others, I felt like using Facebook would help me to stay up-to-date much faster and expand my network throughout the world. My first username was such a joke that I had buried it over the years.
Anyway, when it comes to the reason why I spend a large amount of my time on Facebook, it is because Facebook really comes in handy whenever I need to reach out to someone instantly. Besides, I follow a lot of informative pages and blogs on Facebook so I am always up-to-date with the latest news. I find reading short stories and articles on Facebook very hard to resist for some reason.
I know it’s an unhealthy habit but I can’t help but glue my eyes to Facebook every time I use the phone!
IELTS Speaking Part 3
- What is the importance of apps in a person’s life?
Definitely, especially during this modern age. You know, family meals are the time when everyone puts away their phone, gathers around the table and reconnects with each other. This short yet valuable period is like a reward after a hectic day and is a chance for family members to spend quality time together. Therefore, having a family meal should be a common practice everywhere.
- Are there any drawbacks to apps?
Yeah sure. Overuse or being addicted to any gaming app is a very common thing, especially among young children, and this could lead to a sedentary lifestyle. Besides, many people are scammed or have personal information stolen because they accidentally download fake apps.
