. Technological devices are increasingly developing and have a great impact on people's lives. Technology is
present all around us and is almost indispensable. Thanks to technological devices, we can connect many people
anytime, anywhere. My work has also become more efficient thanks to the tools and supporting software, which helps
me save time and increase productivity. Shopping, entertainment, and learning are all made easy with just a few
clicks. However, technology also made me learn how to manage my time, avoid being distracted by unnecessary
online factors. Overall, the development of technology has brought me many opportunities and conveniences, but it
also requires me to adapt and adjust to balance my life.

Speaking Test
Answer one of the questions below. Say at least five sentences.
• What is a top-of-the-line or high-tech product that you really want? Why do you want it? If you bought it, what
would you do with it?
• What is a top-of-the-line or high-tech product that you don’t really want? What isn’t it important to you?
- A high-tech product that I really want is a tablet.

I want it because it's lightweight, can be carried anywhere, easily connects devices, and is easy to operate. If I actually
buy it, I will use it for study as well as work.
- One top product that I don't want is a fully self-driving car.
What doesn't matter to me is the complete elimination of human control when driving. I understand that self-driving
cars can provide safety and convenience, but I don't feel the need to rely entirely on technology to do this, especially
when I still want to feel free and in control in driving.
