Is there an app that genuinely changed something in your daily life? Tell me the story of how you started using it.

A natural way to answer

Yes, a language-learning app made a real difference for me. I downloaded it on a whim before a holiday, just to learn a few phrases. I kept using it every day, and a year later I could hold a basic conversation, which I'm quite proud of.

Key phrases to use

• strapped for cash — having very little money at a particular time“I'm a bit strapped for cash until payday.”
• turned things around — changed a bad or difficult situation into a much better one“A new routine really turned things around for me.”
• hooked on — enjoying something so much that you can't stop doing it“I'm completely hooked on this new series.”
