远嫁非洲

In this episode, we explore the “a” schwa — the soft, relaxed vowel that appears in unstressed syllables. You’ll hear how it works in real words like banana, about, camera, and sofa, and how it helps English flow more naturally. We look at examples at the beginning, middle, and end of words so you can start recognising the schwa by ear. This quick guide will help you tune into one of the most common sounds in English and build a more natural-sounding accent. Tune in and practise along.

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.”

Describe an invention that changed people's lives

...
Между тем годы шли. У Анны Алексеевны было уже двое детей. Когда я приходил к Лугановичам, прислуга улыбалась приветливо, дети кричали, что пришел дядя Павел Константиныч, и вешались мне на шею; все радовались. Не понимали, что делалось в моей душе, и думали, что я тоже радуюсь. Все видели во мне благородное существо. И взрослые и дети чувствовали, что по комнате ходит благородное существо, и это вносило в их отношения ко мне какую-то особую прелесть, точно в моем присутствии и их жизнь была чище и красивее. Я и Анна Алексеевна ходили вместе в театр, всякий раз пешком; мы сидели в креслах рядом, плечи наши касались, я молча брал из ее рук бинокль и в это время чувствовал, что она близка мне, что она моя, что нам нельзя друг без друга, но, по какому-то странному недоразумению, выйдя из театра, мы всякий раз прощались и расходились, как чужие. В городе уже говорили о нас бог знает что, но из всего, что говорили, не было ни одного слова правды.
