Oral examination subjects--solved variants

1. We are becoming overwhelmingly dependent on computers. Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits? Give arguments and examples to support your ideas.

People love the new technology that evolves so quickly nowadays. Everywhere we go we can see advertisements to the newest personal computer, laptop or a mobile phone that has almost all the characteristics of a PC.

Yes, we are becoming overwhelmingly dependent on computers because they make our lives so much easier. Having a computer helps us with our homework. If I am a student, for example, I am in need of writing an essay for a subject so that I can present it to the teacher in a proper manner, making a presentation, talking to a friend to ask him or her about a new movie I want to go to.

It’s true, sometimes we have to spend a lot of time in front of a computer because we have to find information for papers or presentations we have at school and this can take time because on the internet we can find a lot of things and it can be difficult to choose between one thing and another.

But sometimes, between the search for information and the paper writing, one of our friends can tell us via messenger that he has just discovered a new game and he is sending it to us so we try it as well. At that moment we leave the paper aside and try the new game that is quite interesting. So, until we’ve killed all the monsters is almost midnight and tomorrow we have to wake up at six to go to school. The next day the same thing can happen.

To draw a line between necessity and addiction is sometimes very difficult especially if we talk about something that it is not at all harmful from the beginning like alcohol, cigarettes or drugs. As long as we think that computers are useful and we remember that there is a time for going out, for spending time with friends, riding bicycles or eating ice-cream and also, remember there is a time when we can play a computer game but not until dawn because we also have other duties as teenagers we can properly enjoy technology.
