Writing Aptis Advanced 6

1) (20-30 words each question.)

 I would get a new mobile, but I don’t know if I would choose Android or an iPhone.

1. Which one is cheaper?

Android is cheaper than an iPhone, and you don’t have to pay every time you want to download an app. If your phone broke, it would cost less money to repair it as well. So it’s a good catch!

2. Which one is better?

From my point of view, Android is better; it has many apps you don’t have to pay for, plus it’s very handy. On the other hand, the iPhone has very limited resources, and you have to pay large amounts of money for its services.

3. Which one is easier to use?

I have used Android my whole life, and I haven’t encountered any difficulty in using it. It’s very intuitive, and you can figure out how it works even without reading the manual.

Your notes

Gibraltar is Spain

England is proud of its influence at Gibraltar

Cohabiting is crucial 

Who owns Gibraltar?

As everybody knows, Gibraltar has been a topic of discussion among the English and the Spanish.

Should Gibraltar belong to Spain or the United Kingdom?

Since it’s part of Spanish territory, I strongly believe that it should be considered a Spanish province. Nevertheless, it is far from reality. The United Kingdom won this territory after fighting against Spain. That’s why, nowadays, English citizens are so proud of having Gibraltar as their patrimony.

What will happen after Brexit?

In my personal opinion, everything will remain the same. The British and the Spanish will have to cohabit as they have been doing for hundreds of years, whether they want to or not. I think that it is very enriching when there is a mix of cultures and people from different backgrounds in a city.

This chart shows that Apple and Microsoft are the most important companies in the world. They were set up in the USA and are immersed in the technology industry.

Currently, the sales of electronic devices are increasing since people don’t have much time to do house duties. A large number of people want to ease their lives by using these kinds of products. That’s one of the main reasons for companies such as Apple or Microsoft to grow as fast as they do.

On the other hand, a wide range of applications has been created. Some of them can turn on the music or the air conditioner for you. When you arrive home, you don’t have to do anything else, just chill out!

Are you a fan of new technologies?

I am not; I don’t have a gift for any kind of technology, although I was born in the period when they were at their height. That means that it is very difficult for me to figure out how some gadgets work. When it comes to using new technologies at work, I consider myself a very traditional person. I prefer giving face-to-face lessons over online lessons.

Do you believe machines have made our lives easier?
