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.”

This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”

A4 the Piece of Paper 

YUCATAN es uno de los estados con mayor índice de conformidad respecto a sus servicios públicos, es decir, que sus habitantes están satisfechos con el trato y la calidad que reciben.

Además, en los últimos años Yucatán se ha caracterizado por ser pionero en propuestas como la eliminación del uso de plásticos y unicel para combatir el cambio climático. Desde grandes tiendas nacionales e internacionales, hasta pequeños comercios y puestos de comida, la conciencia por el cuidado del ambiente es una política que se ha ido colando en la vida diaria de los ciudadanos.

Al mismo tiempo, Yucatán se ha preocupado por establecer acuerdos que hagan de su capital, Mérida la mejor ciudad para vivir en México.

Por ejemplo, actualmente Mérida se convertirá en una de las primeras ciudades inteligentes en México, ya que pronto contará con tecnología  para mejorar el tráfico y la contaminación sonora, así como para hacerla aún más segura.

Yucatán es un estado que se caracteriza por su amplia gama cultural. Desde las edificaciones que habitan sus comunidades hasta las celebraciones y los ritos que las acompañan. Todo esto en conjunto ha creado una curiosidad a nivel internacional, en especial gracias a la presencia de la cultura Maya y su fuerte influencia en el estado.

Y como ya sabrás, la seguridad es una de las cartas más fuertes de presentación del estado y de la ciudad, ya que Yucatán es el estado más seguro de México.

Es por eso que Yucatán y Mérida resultan tan atractivas. Uno puede caminar por las calles de la ciudad tranquilamente para disfrutar de la arquitectura, encontrar cafés y restaurantes con platillos típicos o explorar bellezas naturales como los cenotes.
