Sample Answers

When did you get your first mobile phone? I got my first mobile phone when I was in high school, around 16 years old. It was a gift from my parents, and I was super excited to have one because all my friends had them too. I remember it was a basic Nokia phone, but it was a big deal back then.

Do you use your mobile phone more for texting or for calls? Honestly, I use my mobile phone way more for texting. I'd say about 80% of the time, I'm texting friends, family, or even coworkers. I prefer texting because it's just more convenient and less intrusive than making a call. Plus, I can respond whenever I want, you know, at my own pace.

Will you buy a new one in the future? Yeah, I probably will. My current phone is a few years old, and I'm starting to notice some slowdowns. I'm waiting for the new iPhone to come out, and if it's a significant upgrade, I'll probably splurge. I mean, having a good phone is essential for work and staying connected with loved ones, so it's worth the investment.

How has your mobile phone changed your life? My mobile phone has changed my life in so many ways. For one, it's made me way more connected to my friends and family who live far away. We can just Facetime or text each other whenever. It's also made it easier for me to stay organized with work and personal stuff. I can just set reminders, check my email, and even do some work tasks on the go. Plus, I can access so much information and learn new things, which is awesome.
