Answer

I would like to tell you the story about the time I had some technical problems with my
mother’s phone.
I cannot remember exactly when it happened, probably a couple of years back when
I was still a high-school student. Anyway, back in the day, smart phones were not as
popular as they are now, and owning one was actually something to be jealous of.
On my mom’s birthday that year, my dad surprised her with a brand new iPhone 4, which
was one of the most technically advanced phones on the market at the time. Although
I knew it was mom’s, I just loved it so much, all I wanted to do was bringing it to school
to show my friends. Then one day, I made up an excuse that I need her phone for some
projects at school and she actually believed me.
I remember the next morning; I couldn’t help smiling all the way to school with the
phone in my pocket. Needless to say how much my friends adored it, and for me, I just
loved being the center of attention. As we were playing with the phone, testing all of
its functions, my teacher walked in, which took me by surprise. Next thing I know, my
mom’s phone slipped out of my hand and fell onto the hard floor. My heart missed a
beat as I picked it up, there was no screen crack but the flash-light just kept flashing
non-stop. I thought to myself: “That’s it, this is the end of the world for me.”
Later that day, I brought the phone home and confessed with my mom. She was furious
with me. But it turned out that all I had to do was hitting the reset button!
This is one of the memories that I could never forget.

What are the common household appliances that every family has?
Answer
Hmm... I think every family would have some basic household appliances like refrigerators, washing machines for housework or Televisions for entertaining purposes. Those are the types of equipment that offer people a lot of benefits and could help save a lot of time.
What can people do to protect their equipment from being broken?
Answer
Of course if you want to keep anything new, or at least not broken, you have to treat it carefully. For example, if you want to keep a refrigerator in its best condition for the longest time possible, you should clean it regularly, have it repaired right away if any problems occur.
If a piece of equipment is broken, do you prefer to fix it or buy a new one?
Answer
This should depend on how broken it is. If there are still chances that it would function normally again after being repaired, I would definitely try and fix it. But on the other hand, if chances are it can’t be fixed or the repairing process could cost me a fortune, then I would buy a new one.
Do you think modern technology makes people lazier?
Answer
Yes, I think so. Everything is so convenient these days that people no longer have to make much of an effort anymore. Online shopping or delivery services are a prime example. Back in the day, to buy something, people had no choice but to travel to the store and made the purchase in person. But now, as these online services are always available, anything could be bought with just a click. This does make people lazier, but at the same time helps people save tons of time.
