SAMPLE ANSWER

When I think of things that I want to replace mostly electronics and home appliances comes to my mind.

Most electronics made these days don’t have a long lifespan. Most of them get used daily and wear and tear over time. Sometimes they become outdated and new technological advancements lead to newer advanced products. I am frugal and most of the times I try to use them as much as I can and only replace them if they break and can’t be fixed.

However, there is one thing I own that still works but I really want to replace it. It is a 40-inch TV that I got about 10 years ago. I got it from the LG Store in my town. I always like to buy electronics locally as it easier to get service if something is wrong.

IELTS Speaking Test

It is in my living room and has worked well for me for so many years. I never had to get it fixed or replace any parts. I use it daily as I really enjoy watching movies, cricket and playing video games. There are many reasons why I want to replace it. I moved to a new home a few months ago and the living room of this house is bigger. My TV is too small for this room, and I want to upgrade to a bigger screen size.

Not only this, but newer TVs also have better resolution, faster processing speeds and built-in streaming services likes YouTube and Netflix. They are also more energy efficient, so they are better for the environment and can save me money on electricity bill.

Also, this TV is out of warranty and if it breaks, repairing or placing parts would be hard. I think replacing this TV would be a worthwhile investment.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

Does consumption have any impact on the environment?

Energy consumption leads to greenhouse gas emissions that contributes to pollution, climate change and global warming. Unsustainable consumption of goods results in water scarcity, soil erosion, habitat loss etc.

Why do people always want to buy new things to replace old ones?

People always want to buy new things to replace old things because of technological advancements offering improved features. Some people want to keep up with the new trends and fashion.

Why do you think some people replace things more often than others?

Some people replace things more often because they really value materialistic things and want to stay up to date with the latest trends. Other reasons can be that some people have greater purchasing power, and some feel obligated because of peer pressure.
