This made me feel a little bit frustrated.

34
Let's move on now to part two.
35
The question for part two Describe a piece of technology that you find useful.
36
you should say what it is when you got it What do you use it for?
37
and why it is useful.
38
There are many electronic devices I could talk about However, if I had to pick one, it would be my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max.
39
I can vividly remember I purchased this iPhone on my birthday, the 22nd of February last year.
40
I use it in a variety of ways.
41
Firstly, since I am passionate about photography,
42
I use my iPhone in order to take photos of the breathtaking views in Ho Chi Minh City,
43
as well as to post them on Facebook.
44
Secondly, if I have the latest iPhone, then I will have the opportunity to study online at IELTS with Charles,
45
which is important because I can get a deeper understanding of the English language, something you can't put a price on.
46
The reason why my iPhone is special is not only
47
because it is a cutting edge device with a luxury feel and allows me to show off my social status.
48
but also it has sentimental value.
49
For example, Last week, I traveled to the majestic mountains of Dalat
50
and visited a stunning and charming coffee shop in the mountains.
51
During this time, I was able to snap incredible captivating photos of my new little baby Rocco,
52
which is something that will allow me to save my memories.
53
In the future, I will always buy the latest Apple products to keep up with the latest trends.

A variety of something, a variety of uses.

The reason why my iPhone is special is not only because but also it has sentimental value.
60
For example, then I told my beautiful story about my travels to Dalat.
61
Use these structures in your answers to part two to get those high marks.
62
Now, let's move on to part three.
63
Question 1: How has technology changed the way people communicate?
64
Well, in the past, People talked to each other mainly face to face.
65
That social interaction was an important part of culture in the past.
66
But now people tend to communicate through electronic devices and online social media platforms like Facebook,
67
which leads to people feeling a little bit more isolated and perhaps turning them into introverts.
68
For me, this is quite a negative change.
69
Number two: Do you think older people struggle with technology?
70
Yes, absolutely.
71
I think this is due to the fact
72
that they have a lack of confidence because they have not grown up using the latest software.
73
For example, many older people struggle with simple actions like video calls on their electronic devices.
74
However, I believe this is changing nowadays as more old people are taking an interest into learning more about technology.
75
perhaps even joining classes on how to effectively use a mobile phone.
76
Number three: What problems can technology cause in society?
77
Well, I think this depends on age.
78
For older people, The biggest problem is they might get scammed,
79
especially from illegal websites that they don't feel very confident with, especially if they have to purchase something and then receive the wrong product.
80
Thank you.
81
In contrast for younger people, I think the biggest issue is that they
82
browse through Instagram and see this ideal life with people with perfect bodies and lots of money.
83
And they struggle to grasp with the idea that not really realistic, which may lead to them feeling a little bit isolated.
84
and lack self -confidence.
85
Question number four: Will technology replace teachers in the future?
86
Well, some people think yes because...
87
Technology is far more cost -effective and affordable way for students to learn, which is important for a developing country like Vietnam.
88
But I would say no, because you cannot replace the one -to -one interaction and an emotional connection between a teacher and their students.
89
This can help students to feel more confident
90
and have more fun in the classroom which I think is what education is all about.
91
So guys, I think you will agree the topic of technology is a challenging one, but I hope that gave you an insight into what to expect.
92
In part three, I tried to use a range of different techniques, from our first technique of answering why example alternative, right through to our second technique where we say,
93
some people think, but I, I love that.
94
And finally, I said, it depends on.
95
something.
96
Remember, in my answer I said it depends on age.
97
You can also say it depends on personality, gender, wealth, or age.
98
Try to use a range of these different ways of answering in your answers in the IELTS exam.
99
Good luck, guys.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
