You should say:

What you got it for

How often you use it

And explain how you feel about it

This topic reminds me of asought-after,up-to-date（新的）, yetunfathomable（困难的）product of a well-known company. It isnone other than an Apple Watch, which I got four years ago as a present from myparents. I can barely remember that, at that time, I was on cloud nine（开心的）because Ihit two birdswith one stone（一石二鸟）. My parents challenged me to get agood mark so I could have it. Fortunately, I was able to get what I wantedsince Ihit the book（努力学习）at that time and burned themidnight oil（熬夜学习）. Anyway, it was an amazing cutting edge（前沿的）technology for me because it can helpme in my day in and dayout（每天）. However, it is nota piece of cake（小菜一碟）for me toutilize（使用）it since it has a small screen and tons of apps on it. Besides, I'm notch savvy（高科技人才）, so at first I just looked through and utilized the messages part aboutonce a week. However, after I graduated, I got the hang of how to use it. Ifound it out of the ordinary and enthralling. As a result, up until thispresent, I always make sure to be with me day-to-day. Overall, the experienceis fascinating for me because I realize it makes me productive and effectivenot only for my studies but also for my indoor and outdoor activities.

1.    What technology do people currently use?

In my opinion, it depends on the groupof people. For starters, when it comes to students, white and blue-collar（白领和蓝领的）workers, they usually utilize some electronicdevices connected to communication and research. For instance, computers andlaptops are some of the most vital equipment for them to accomplish their work.What's more, when it comes to housewives or nannies, cutting-edge technologythat is related to householdchores（家务）could help them make the task a piece of cake. Takesome cleaning tools as an example. When it comes to cleaning and drying theclothes they use in the washing machine. At the same time, a rice cooker andstove could help them producemouth-watering（可口的）dishes. Furthermore, to keep thehouses pick and span（整洁的）, the floor vacuum robot helps a lot. Finally, when it comes totransportation, buses, cars, taxis, the subway, and so on are convenient foreveryone to hit the road. 

2. Why do big companies introduce new products frequently?

In my opinion, the main reason is thatthe customers' desires are endless and generate revenues（赚钱）. As a result, some companies introduce both up-to-date and trendydevices. If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of us are immersed in（沉迷于）purchasing new products to satisfy our desires. Besides, it's as simple as ABC（简单的）for them to feeltedious（无聊的）after a month or a year of utilizing their gadgets. For instance, somebig companies like Apple introduce new products or technologies on a seasonalbasis. The Apple iPhone, in particular, is at a premium（昂贵的）, but customers insist on buying it tosatisfy themselves and establish their status. Take my friend as an example.She is an avid supporter of technology. She usuallytells us that she has anew-fangled（最新出的）iPhone phone annual series. Hence, it makes her satisfied and intrigued,while companies bring home thebacon（谋生）.  

3. Why are people so keen on buying iPhones even though they haven'tchanged much from one to the next?

Numerous civilizations embrace theiPhone as a status symbol（身份象征）.People purchase it, in my opinion, notjust because it is innovative but also because possessing one is seen as "stylish(时髦的)." One of the most apparent motives foracquiring（拥有）an iPhone would be this. As a result, unlike othercell phones, the price structure of the iPhone remains constant. Even if it isequivalent to the previously designed one, I reckon it can always be positionedas a premium and luxury product（奢侈品）. Consider my buddy, who said that she would preserve any red pockets shereceived in out-of-the-ordinary circumstances in order to get the newest iPhonemodel. Not only does she desire thecommodity（产品）and find them beneficial in her day-to-day life. Butshe may also showcase about being contemporary on thetrend by posting on social media. Overall, this provides the client theimpression that they are a better person as a result of having purchased theproduct.

4. Why do technology companies keepupgrading their products?

There are several reasons for them to becomecompetent（能胜任的）andup-to-date（最新的）. Forstarters, introducing new products  can help the company establish morestatus. I believe the fierce competition in particular andcutting-edge（尖端）technology require the best product in order to make thecustomer satisfied. Besides, if a company can upgrade their products, they cangenerate（生成）more revenue since clients will continue to become loyalto their products if they're more efficient, convenient to use, andbetter-looking to show off in theirday-to-day. In short, it istried-and-true（靠得住的）for them to trust. Therefore it makes their product knowone’s business, especially the Apple and Samsung products. Both companies areheavily invested in introducing and upgrading new gadget son a seasonal basis（每年）.Theymake sure the vast majority will fancy their creation to boost their name andeconomy.  

5. What changes has the development oftechnology brought about in our lives?

Off the top of my head（经我深思熟虑）, Ibelieve there are tons of changes and opportunities brought about by them. Wecannot deny the fact that the rapid development of cutting-edge technology inrecent years has made our lives more convenient and efficient, not only for ourstudies but also for our hourly work day in and day out. Take me as an example.Nowadays, it’s a piece of cake for me to hit the books and do research with thehelp of my gadgets. I can scrollthrough（浏览）various documents as well as books. At the same time, Ican surf the internet with the help of distinctive platforms such as Bili-Bili,Weibo and so on. In short, I don't need to spend a considerable amount of（相当数量的）time in the library looking for something that I need formy studies. Finally, when it comes to white-collar and blue-collar workers（白领和蓝领工人）,it's easier for them to move from one place to another with the help of theirmobile phones by booking some transportation. I reckon italters（改变）our lives because we don't have to wait longer on theside of the road for a long period of time.

6. Does the development of technologyaffect the way we study? How?

Of course, it helps the students be more convenient,effective, and productive. To begin with, it helps students establish and makeit possible to attend class online in themidst（在...中间）of anepidemic（流感）. For instance, the vast majority of schools cannot meetface-to-face from 2020 until the present because of the coronavirus disease.Therefore, it's a great chance for the students to continue to get the hang of（掌握）it even though they are in the comfort of their home.Besides, it is flexible for them to study without extreme pressure in theirday-to-day lives. What's more, students nowadays become more engrossed in（热衷于）studying because of the cutting edge in their room.Utilizing（使用）some products, such as projector computers or laptops, toshow some documentaries as well as video clips can capture students' attention.As a result, they successfully immerse themselves as well as avoid makingstudentstedious（乏味的）.Overall, the rapid development of technology has trulyadjusted our way of studying.
