MONOLOGUE: TECHNOLOGY


Hello, my name is Maru and I'm going to talk about technology. From my point of view this is an important topic because we use technology in almost every aspects of our daily life. I’ll focus my monologue on talking about the internet, mobile phones and my personal experience.

Nowadays we need the internet for almost everything. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have WhatsApp o a Facebook profile for example. But the internet is not only used for social networking sites o messeges services. You can use it for applying for a job using useful webs like Infojobs or even for paying taxes. However, this new techcnology has also some disadvantages. Your privacy migh be in danger if you are the kind of person who shares every second of his life on the net. Moreover, most people spend more time spying on other people’s lives than on his on life. I think if we use the internet properly can be a very useful tool for making our lives much easier.

Then I’d like to speak about mobiles phones. I think that the main advantage of having a mobile phone is that you can communicate yo your family and friends wherever you are by calling or sending messenges. However, they aren’t only used for making phone calls, you can also use your mobile phone’s applications for playing games, listening to your favorite music, taking photographs, shopping online and many other things. On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages. Using your mobile phone when you are working, studying  or doing and important activity that requires all your attention can be a serious problem. For example, if you look at your mobile while you are driving, you will be more likely to have an accident. So, as I said before about the internet, this technology has to be used properly and when it is necessary or when we have some free time.

Finally I’d like to talk about my personal experience. I use techology a lot for everything. If I had more money I would buy the state of the art gadgets because the main disadvante of technology is that become obsoleted very fast. My favorite gadget is my mobile phone because as I said before, It can be used not only for making phones calls but also to write emails, make videos, record audios, listening to music, and lots of things. I use my mobile phone even to pay the rent of my house. Sometimes I spend too much time on watching youtube videos or messeging on Whatsapp groups. It’s a way of wasting my time but I have to learn to manage these situations.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say about this topic. I hope I was clear and thank you very much for listening to me.

WRITING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY: TABLETS



Nowadays, tablets are more popular than ordinary laptops because they are very interactive and complete devices. These characteristics allow them to do lots of new things which are not possible to do with a laptop. Furthermore, you can use a tablet wherever you are because it is small, portable and very comfortable. Its touch screen is perfect to do artwork, to design or whatever artistic work. We can also use a tablet for leisure activities like watching movies, listening to music, reading the newspaper and many other things.
However, tablets have some disadvantages. They are more expensive than ordinary laptops especially if they are made by famous brands like Apple or Samsung. They are also more likely to damage because they have a vulnerable screen. For that reason, we have to be very careful when we carry them.
In conclusion, a tablet can be a good inversion if we use it properly because it is a very useful device.

WRITING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY: MP3



Why do people like using a MP3 player? Firstly MP3 players are small, portable and you can store lots of your favourite music. It is not so expensive and music can be downloaded for free from the Internet. Furthermore, MP3 players are very useful to entertain yourself when you are doing a routine activity. For example you could listen to music while you are practicing some sport or while you are travelling. On the other hand, one disadvantage is that if you listen to music too loud, you are more likely to suffer a hearing loss in the future. However, if you use the MP3 at a normal volume, you will not have any hearing problem and you could enjoy music wherever you are.
