IELTS Speaking Sample Answer # Computers
Computers have become an integral part of our lives. We tend to use them more often then ever and it is very rare that people don’t know how to use them. With such increase in their usage, it becomes lot more obvious that you might have some questions related to computers. Let us today have a look at some of the questions and their possible answers.
Do you often use computers?
I work as a system engineer in a company and my entire work is on computers. So, I use it very often. Apart from work, with every thing becoming online, it becomes very obvious to use computers to do the transactions and other household things online.
I am not very much into computers. For some reasons, they tend to freak me out. I know that these days it is very important to know how to use them, and I do know the basic operations. But I prefer doing things out of the computer machine. Like there is more fun shopping in a real shop as compared to the online. You get to know people, spend time with them and for me it is always better.
How do you usually get online?
I have wifi installed in my house. So, all my family members connect to it for using internet.
I have recently shifted to my place and for internet I still rely on my dongle and the smart phone that I have. Although, I am thinking of installing a modem very soon.
Do you prefer desktops or laptops?
I would say definitely laptops. They are so very easy. You can carry them wherever you want to and do whatever you want to. I being a writer, it is very important for me to be able to move out of places and laptops do provide me with that freedom.
I like desktops more than laptops. The reason being they ensure that work is not carried forward to home. I did had laptop earlier but with that it became so much more easy for me to do work even at home leaving me no time for my loved ones. So, I like desktops as when you sit there you know that you are there for work and once you are out of it, you can live life.
What do you use your computer for?
My computer is my perfect companion. I am a freelance blogger so it is the place where I do my entire blogging thing. There are times when I need to pen down some things or search internet for something or make note of, it is all done on my computer. Apart from this, I prefer doing the bank transactions and the billing work online itself.
Do you think it is important for everyone to know how to use computers?
I think definitely yes. We have moved from the industrialization era to this digital era. Every thing in today’s world is digital and online. Starting with there are so many jobs being offered online, universities offering online courses and with coming of google and other efficient search engines, it has become lot more easier to get knowledge and a job. Even banks and other government services can now be easily availed online. I believe with so much happening, it does makes sense to learn how to use computers.
