Introduction
In the modern era, the internet has mostly taken over our life. We rely on it mostly to learn important facts.
Despite the fact that I have frequently used the internet to find information, one particular instance seems noteworthy.
What details did you need to look up?
I looked for information about losing weight. There is no doubting the fact that nutrition and exercise are the two main pillars on which our fitness depends.
I looked for information on the importance of either diet or exercise for weight loss.
When did you look for it?
During the lockdown last year, I looked for it.
Where did you look for it?
I looked up information and activities on numerous websites. I started with Wikipedia and learned a lot of stuff before moving on to Youtube. I spent a lot of time there watching videos that helped me learn more.
And then explain why you had to look for it.
During the corona pandemic last year, I led a sedentary lifestyle and put on a lot of weight. I wanted to get in shape but was unable to do so due to the lockdown regulations.
I used the internet at that time to find the appropriate information. I came to the conclusion from my studies that the most crucial aspect of weight loss is food.
I used the "intermittent fasting" method suggested in one of the videos, taking all of my medications between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to aid in normal digestion.
To my joy, this knowledge enabled me to accomplish my goal. I was tenaciously determined to follow the instructions, and as a result, I lost a significant amount of weight without using the gym.
The knowledge causes a paradigm shift in my level of mental and physical fitness.
IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions
Here are some examples of follow-up questions relating to the cue card "explain a time when you needed to look for information" that you can be asked by the examiner during your speaking part 3 of the exam.
1. How can people search for information now?
Smartphones, in my opinion, are the ideal tool for searching for information whenever and whenever. They only need to type a few phrases into the google search bar, and they can instantly access hundreds of documents and videos pertaining to the material they need.
2. What information can people get from television?
Although it is sometimes referred to as an idiot box or mostly used for entertainment, I think viewing television may help people learn a lot about the world and broaden their general knowledge if they choose the correct channels.
3. Do you think libraries are still important in the digital age?
Yes, I believe that libraries still play a crucial part in our culture. Libraries not only give readers simultaneous access to thousands of excellent books, but they also offer a serious and focused reading atmosphere that is difficult to find elsewhere.
4. Does the development of the Internet have any impact on some disadvantaged people?
Yes, innovations like the Internet have undoubtedly aided the underprivileged, particularly those from lower socioeconomic origins. They have been able to pick up new skills for free, and it has also given them chances to increase their income by expanding their customer base.
For instance, thanks to mobility applications like uber, a part-time taxi driver who previously could only transport a few passengers from a specific position or stand can now transport more passengers per day, and that too from any location.
