Hi, this is IELTSIELTS.com, Lesson 178. If you find these resources helpful, please share this work to your Facebook feed. I really do appreciate those of you that do this week after week. This week, we are looking at Part 3 questions on the topic of the future of the Internet.

I'll read the questions from this section to you now. How has the internet changed the way people access information? Do you think people rely too much on websites for information nowadays? What are the advantages of using websites compared to traditional sources like books or newspapers? Are there any disadvantages to getting information from websites? How do you think websites will evolve in the future?

Do you think artificial intelligence will have a big impact on how websites are designed and used? All right, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally. Here it is. We've been talking about websites, and I would like to ask you a few more questions about this topic. How has the internet changed the way people access information?

In the past, people had to rely on physical resources, such as books and libraries. Nowadays, with just a few clicks, we can access a vast array of data on virtually any topic. Additionally, the internet offers multimedia options – videos, infographics, podcasts – which cater to various learning styles. Do you think people rely too much on websites for information nowadays? Yes, to an extent.

While it's convenient and time-efficient, people often skim articles or rely on unverified sources, which can lead to misinformation. However, it's also important to acknowledge the positive side. The internet provides a level of accessibility to knowledge that was previously unimaginable. What are the advantages of using websites compared to traditional sources like books or newspapers?

Firstly, websites provide real-time updates, whereas printed books or newspapers might take days or months to be published. Secondly, websites are searchable, making it far easier to locate specific information in seconds. Finally, websites often provide interactive content that can enrich the learning experience far beyond what traditional media can offer. Are there any disadvantages to getting information from websites?

As I mentioned before, one major disadvantage of obtaining information from websites is the prevalence of misinformation. Another issue is the distraction factor, as websites often contain ads and other stimuli that can interfere with focused reading. How do you think websites will evolve in the future?

I believe websites will become even more personalized and intuitive in the future. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, websites will likely offer highly customized experiences, predicting what information a user needs before they even ask for it.

Do you think artificial intelligence will have a big impact on how websites are designed and used? I feel artificial intelligence is already having a profound impact on web design and usage, and this trend will only intensify. In the future, I think we'll see AI-driven websites that can autonomously update content, optimize their own design, and have increasingly sophisticated interactions with users.

Thank you. This marks the end of the IELTS speaking exam. Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.

Okay, let's go ahead and start this week's speech shadowing exercise. If this is your first time doing a speech shadowing exercise, remember you should be speaking aloud as you listen. So you will first hear a portion of the sample, and then you will be given a pause within which to repeat what you have heard. And the point of the exercise is to try to adjust your pronunciation to sound as much like the model as possible.

Remember that at IELTSIELTS.com, just $25 per month gives you access to the full shadowing lessons, and $199 per month gives you access to the full lessons plus a private WhatsApp group, where you will submit one speaking sample each day from Monday to Friday and receive feedback on it from a qualified instructor.
