Describe an invention that changed how people's life - IELTS speaking








Describe an invention that changed how people’s life


You should say:

What it was
When it was invented
How people use it

And explain how it has changed peoples lives






“I think the one invention that has really changed how we live in recent years has to be the smartphone, which really has become an integral part of so many people's lives, as well as an item that most people feel they can’t live without.

I guess the smartphone as we know it today was invented by Apple, and hit the mass market back in about 2007 or 8, which really broke new ground and launched a mobile revolution, quickly becoming the one piece of technology everybody wanted to own.

I think the first way the smartphone changed peoples lives was in how it literally put the internet in everyone's pocket, and completely revolutionised the mobile industry. On top of that, it also put a good camera in our pockets, and made us all aspiring photographers overnight, which also led to a huge rise in the different social media platforms.

I really believe that the smartphone and the apps that go with it changed so much in our lives, even the way people work today, and the way we do business. From posting selfies on facebook and online shopping to work related emails or communication the smartphone really has revolutionised just about everybody's life, from the ordinary joe bloggs to the business bigwigs.

Thank you.”

Episodio 4: Hojas secas de árbol sin fruto

👻 Diálogo: Atrapados en una Casa Embrujada 🕯️

Marcos: Sofía… dime que solo es mi imaginación, pero… ¿escuchaste eso?

Sofía: ¡Shhh! Sí… se escuchó como un susurro.

Marcos: ¡Te dije que no debíamos entrar a esta casa!

Sofía: ¡Pero dijiste que no creías en fantasmas!

Marcos: ¡Bueno, ahora no estoy tan seguro!

Sofía: Tranquilo… seguramente es el viento… o un animal.

Marcos: ¿El viento? ¡Sofía, estamos dentro y todas las ventanas están cerradas!

Sofía: Ok… sí, tienes razón. Tal vez fue… ¡AHHH!

Marcos: ¡¿Qué pasó?! ¡¿Qué viste?!

Sofía: La puerta… se cerró sola.

Marcos: ¡No puede ser! ¿Y si intentamos abrirla?

Sofía: ¡No se mueve! ¡Está bloqueada!

Marcos: Genial… estamos atrapados en una casa embrujada.

Sofía: Espera… ¿viste esa sombra moverse por el pasillo?

Marcos: ¡No quiero mirar!

Sofía: Tenemos que salir de aquí. Busquemos otra salida.

Marcos: Ok, pero si un fantasma me toca, te juro que te dejo aquí.

Sofía: ¡Jajaja! No me hagas reír ahora… ¡Corramos!
