b. ANSWER
What apps are you interested in?
-Well, I think all possible kinds. I have a couple of news apps because it’s important for me
to keep up with current events and know what is happening in my city, country and in the
world. I also have a few games just to relax and get my mind off troubles or pass the time
while waiting for somebody or queuing. As I am a business person I have to have some apps
for business too, for example, email apps, apps for editing documents, reminders, notepad
apps, a currency converter and a calculator to be able to do my work wherever I am, even
on the go. Oh, I almost forgot to name a weather app, a photo editor, an alarm clock, some
trip planners, a few social networks, some music and video apps. Yeah, that’s it. Pretty much
