IELTS Speaking Part 1: Computers and tablets – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Would you rather use a computer or a tablet?

A computer, definitely.

I mean, I spend all day writing bug reports and test scripts, which is a nightmare on a tablet.

A proper keyboard and two screens help me work much faster.

For casual stuff I just use my phone, so I guess I've never seen the point of a tablet.

When did you first use a computer or a tablet?

Oh, I must have been about twelve.

My dad brought home an old desktop so my sister and I could do our homework.

Of course, we mostly played a football game and argued about whose turn it was.

So yeah, that's how I got hooked on computers, and I've been glued to a screen ever since.

In what situations would you use a computer or a tablet?

Well, work takes up most of the day, obviously.

In the evenings I use my laptop to catch up on Premier League highlights.

And when I'm cooking, I prop it up on the counter and follow along with a recipe video.

That saves me the hassle of calling my mum every ten minutes.

In what situations would it be difficult for you to use a computer or a tablet?

Bright sunlight, I'd say.

Last summer I tried working on my laptop at a beach cafe, but the glare made the screen impossible to read.

The other problem is when the internet goes down at home.

To be fair, it's rare, but I'm lost without wifi, since everything's in the cloud.

What would your life be like without computers or tablets?

Honestly, I'd be out of a job, for a start.

I'd probably follow in my dad's footsteps and teach history.

Having said that, life would be slower, and I might finally get through the books I keep buying.

The catch is, I'd have to learn to read a paper map, which could be a disaster.
