Describe something that you have learned recently from the Internet. v. 1
Describe something that you have learned recently from the Internet. You should say: what it was how you found out about this would you recommend this to your friends and explain whether it is important to you. Model Answer 1: The Internet is perhaps the most wonderful and helpful modern invention that has touched the lives of billions. This worldwide network has not only revolutionised the way we communicate, shop or exchange information but has also changed the way people learn new things, teach others, do travel plans, get enrolled in a course and so on. I personally thank you for the opportunity you gave me to talk about something I have recently learned from the Internet. In fact, I use the Internet almost every day and learn new things quite often. One of the things I have recently learned  is how to reuse the ordinary plastic bottles we throw away almost  every day. While surfing the Internet, I found that one of my friends has shared a video that shows different utilities of the plastic water bottles and soft-dring bottles. the creator of the video called it a lifehack and uploaded this video on YouTube. From YouTube, this friend of mine shared it on his Facebook account. It was 15-16 minutes video and I was quite amazed by the idea and genius behind this video. Recommending something that I like with my friends has become quite easier these days. I only need to press a button or click the mouse to share a content with my friends. In fact, just after I watched it, I have shared this video with my Facebook, Google+ and Twitter friends. As I find this video and its content helpful, I would definitely recommend it to my friends. As I have already told, the idea behind this video was quite remarkable and this has taught me something that I never thought would be possible. The video was professionally made and it was easier to follow the process described in this video. I was quite astonished how a simple plastic bottle could be turned into so many useful things. I watched this video several times and found that it showed 20 handy utilities of plastic bottles including how to make these. I  learned how to make a plant pot, soap bottle, basket, napkin holder, kind's pencil holder, leaf lamp, piggie bank, decorative container, jewellery stand, bird feeder, hanging-chandelier and many other handy things out of the ordinary plastic bottles. Learning how to upcycle plastic bottles to make those handy and beautiful things was very important to me. Up until I learned how to upcycle the plastic bottles, I mostly threw away those bottles and never thought about their practical use. Now I have made two holders for my small plants, a piggie bank, a bird feeder and a pencil holder and I felt an enormous pleasure in making them. I will try making other things that were demonstrated in this video. Such crafty works, I believe, foster our creativity, hones our skills and saves money. The utmost pleasure I can feel when I successfully make something useful from an ordinary plastic bottle is unparallel. This is quite important to me due to its practical usefulness and creative processes. I would definitely watch similar video and tutorials and learn such skills more in the future. Sample Answer 2: This is the age of technology. By dint of the technological advancement, people are moving ahead. Outsourcing is one of the wonders of the technological advancement that is making people independent in all terms. In the present age, the world is a global village. Distance is not a barrier now to work from a different country. So, the number of offshore employees is on the rise. It has happened for the improvement of technology. People now can communicate easily even at the distant part of the world. As a result, when the youths do not get jobs in their native lands, they are moving for freelancing. It is also known as outsourcing. They work sitting at home and get paid at the end of their projects. Earlier, I was unaware of the issue. Though I heard about freelancing, I did not have a clear idea until I searched the issue on the internet. I am a middle-aged man and been engaged in a personal business here in Mozambique. I own a medium-sized restaurant and also a small coffee shop. So, I was not that much familiar with the technological advancements. But now I need to explore the virtual arena for some reasons. I needed a software to maintain my restaurant accounts and started using the internet to know about it. Later I started browsing the internet and came to know about a lot of things and information that I did not know before. Gradually, I learnt about the freelancing issues and how the service is provided. There is a wide range of scopes to work as a freelancer. But for this, people need to have some sort of special set of skills like designing a web page, skills with photo editing, writing capacity and more. Of course, I will recommend it to my friends. This is really an interesting thing to share. Many of my friends are not well versed with the technology. Even some of them are unaware of using computers while I am a bit different from them. So, if I share the information with them, they might be beneficial. They might grow the interest on the internet and will try to start some sort of outsourcing after their qualifications. In fact, all of my friends, including me, are moderately educated but we lack the knowledge of computer and internet. So, the issue of freelancing was unfamiliar with us. Recently my contact with the internet has made it clearer and I want all my friends also should know about the vastness of the internet. This is really an important aspect for me. I want to know the entire world and the internet is the best possible thing that can help me for this purpose. Besides, there are potentials to generate income as well. Considering all the aspects, it appears that the freelancing is really an important issue for me. But I need sometimes to get skilled over the specific sectors I need to work. I can paint very well and I think if I learn graphics design, I could shine in the arena. As a fresh internet user, it may take time for me to master the skills but I will be patient to reach my goal.
Describe
something
that you have
learned
recently
from the Internet. You should say: what it was how you found out about this would you recommend this to your
friends
and
explain
whether it is
important
to you. Model Answer 1:

The Internet is perhaps the most wonderful and helpful modern invention that has touched the
lives
of billions. This worldwide network has not
only
revolutionised
the way we communicate, shop or exchange information
but
has
also
changed
the way
people
learn
new things, teach others, do travel plans,
get
enrolled in a course and
so
on. I
personally
thank you for the opportunity you gave me to talk about
something
I have
recently
learned
from the Internet.

In fact, I
use
the Internet almost every day and
learn
new things
quite
often
. One of the things I have
recently
learned
 
is how to reuse the ordinary
plastic
bottles
we throw away almost
 
every day. While surfing the Internet, I found that one of my
friends
has shared a
video
that
shows
different
utilities of the
plastic
water
bottles
and
soft-dring
bottles
.
the
creator of the
video
called it a
lifehack
and uploaded this
video
on YouTube. From YouTube, this
friend
of mine shared it on his Facebook account. It was 15-16 minutes
video and
I was
quite
amazed by the
idea
and genius behind this video.

Recommending
something
that I like with my
friends
has become
quite
easier these days. I
only
need
to press a button or click the mouse to share a content with my
friends
. In fact,
just
after I
watched
it, I have shared this
video
with my Facebook, Google+ and Twitter
friends
. As I find this
video
and its content helpful, I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

As I have already
told
, the
idea
behind this
video
was
quite
remarkable and this has taught me
something
that I never
thought
would be possible. The
video
was
professionally
made and it was easier to follow the process
described
in this
video
. I was
quite
astonished how a simple
plastic
bottle
could
be turned
into
so
many
useful things. I
watched
this
video
several times and found that it
showed
20 handy utilities of
plastic
bottles
including how to
make
these.
I
 
learned
how to
make
a plant pot, soap
bottle
, basket, napkin
holder
, kind's pencil
holder
, leaf lamp,
piggie
bank, decorative container,
jewellery
stand, bird feeder, hanging-chandelier and
many
other handy things out of the ordinary
plastic
bottles.

Learning how to
upcycle
plastic
bottles
to
make
those handy and
beautiful
things was
very
important
to me. Up until I
learned
how to
upcycle
the
plastic
bottles
, I
mostly
threw away those
bottles
and never
thought
about their practical
use
.
Now
I have made two
holders
for my
small
plants, a
piggie
bank, a bird feeder and a pencil
holder
and I felt an enormous pleasure in making them. I will try making other things that
were demonstrated
in this
video
. Such crafty works, I believe, foster our creativity, hones our
skills
and saves money. The utmost pleasure I can feel when I
successfully
make
something
useful from an ordinary
plastic
bottle
is
unparallel
. This is
quite
important
to me due to its practical usefulness and creative processes. I would definitely
watch
similar
video
and tutorials and
learn
such
skills
more in the future.

Sample Answer 2:

This is the age of technology. By dint of the technological advancement,
people
are moving ahead. Outsourcing is one of the wonders of the technological advancement
that is
making
people
independent in all terms.

In the present age, the world is a global village. Distance is not a barrier
now
to
work
from a
different
country.
So
, the number of offshore employees is on the rise. It has happened for the improvement of technology.
People
now
can communicate
easily
even at the distant part of the world.
As a result
, when the youths do not
get
jobs in their native lands, they are moving for
freelancing
. It is
also
known as outsourcing. They
work
sitting at home and
get
paid at the
end
of their projects. Earlier, I was unaware of the
issue
. Though I heard about
freelancing
, I did not have a
clear
idea
until I searched the
issue
on the internet.

I am a middle-aged
man
and
been engaged
in a personal business here in Mozambique. I
own
a medium-sized restaurant and
also
a
small
coffee shop.
So
, I was not that much familiar with the technological advancements.
But
now
I
need
to explore the virtual arena for
some
reasons. I needed a software to maintain my restaurant accounts and
started
using the internet to
know
about it. Later I
started
browsing the internet and came to
know
about
a lot of
things and information that I did not
know
before
.
Gradually
, I
learnt
about the
freelancing
issues
and how the service
is provided
. There is a wide range of scopes to
work
as a freelancer.
But
for this,
people
need
to have
some
sort of special set of
skills
like designing a web page,
skills
with photo editing, writing capacity and more.

Of course
, I will recommend it to my
friends
. This is
really
an interesting thing to share.
Many
of my
friends
are not
well
versed with the technology. Even
some
of them are unaware of using computers while I am a bit
different
from them.
So
, if I share the information with them, they might be beneficial. They might grow the interest on the internet and will try to
start
some
sort of outsourcing after their qualifications. In fact, all of my
friends
, including me, are
moderately
educated
but
we lack the knowledge of computer and internet.
So
, the
issue
of
freelancing
was unfamiliar with us.
Recently
my contact with the internet has made it clearer and I want all my
friends
also
should
know
about the vastness of the internet.

This is
really
an
important
aspect for me. I want to
know
the entire world and the internet is the best possible thing that can
help
me for this purpose.
Besides
, there are potentials to generate income as
well
. Considering all the aspects, it appears that the
freelancing
is
really
an
important
issue
for me.
But
I
need
sometimes
to
get
skilled over the specific sectors I
need
to
work
. I can paint
very
well
and I
think
if I
learn
graphics design, I could shine in the arena. As a fresh internet user, it may take time for me to master the
skills
but
I will be patient to reach my goal.
