Do you think people today rely too much on technology in everyday life? Why or why not?

A natural way to answer

I think it's a bit of both. We do depend on technology a lot, and that can be a problem if it suddenly fails. But it also saves us time and connects us with people, so on balance I think the benefits outweigh the downsides.

Key phrases to use

• lean on it — to depend on something or someone for support“When work gets hard, I lean on my colleagues.”
• lost the knack — no longer have the special skill or ability you once had“I've lost the knack of writing by hand.”
