Describe a website you use frequently
You should say:
· What it is
· Why you use it
· Who told you about it
· And explain why it is important for you
I’m pleased you’ve asked me this question because I’m an internet junkie and spend ages surfing the net each day. Probably, the website that I use the most is YouTube. As you probably know, this is a video sharing website that was started in around 2005 I think. I’m not entirely sure, but I believe it was created by three former PayPal employees and it is now owned by Google.
I can’t recall when I first started using YouTube on a regular basis, but I think my kids were active users of it before me and they started showing me videos and I probably got into it through them. There are a number of ways I use it. Firstly, when I am working at my desk, I stream videos from my favourite artists. You can create playlists so I have playlists for work that I can put on repeat. I used to listen to the radio but I got distracted by the DJs talking whereas background music is fine and I reckon I even work faster when an upbeat song is playing.
A further thing I use it for is when I need to find out some information. For example, I recently had a problem with my computer because it was making a strange noise when I was listening through my headphones so I searched on YouTube and I found some videos that explained what could be causing the problem. They were extremely useful and the issue has been resolved.
YouTube is particularly important for me because I remember a time when there was no internet access and if you needed to find something out or work out the answer to a maths problem, for instance, you had to go to the library and it took hours to find the info you needed. Now, you can type into a search bar and find hundreds of videos to help you in an instant. It is an indispensable resource and has made the lives of many so much easier. The fact that all the videos can be accessed at no cost is mind-blowing really.

One website that I use frequently is YouTube. As many people know, YouTube is a video-sharing platform that was launched around 2005. It was created by three former PayPal employees and is now owned by Google.
I started using YouTube regularly through my kids. They were active users and began showing me videos, which sparked my interest. There are several ways I use YouTube. For instance, while working at my desk, I stream videos from my favorite artists. I create playlists for work that I can set to repeat. I used to listen to the radio, but I found myself distracted by the DJs' chatter. Background music helps me focus better, and I find that I work more efficiently with upbeat songs playing.
Another way I use YouTube is to find information. For example, when I recently had an issue with my computer making a strange noise through my headphones, I searched for solutions on YouTube. I found several helpful videos that explained the possible causes and solutions, which helped me resolve the problem.
YouTube is particularly important to me because it represents a major shift from the time when internet access was not available. Back then, finding information or solving problems meant spending hours at the library. Now, with YouTube, you can type a query into the search bar and access hundreds of instructional videos instantly. This convenience is invaluable and has greatly simplified many aspects of life. The fact that all these resources are available for free is truly remarkable.
