I: Welcome to Teen Tech Talk, Nowadays, we use many software applications on our mobile devices. We call them apps for short. Today, my guest is Li Xing, an app developer from New-tech Company. Hi, Li Xing!

L: Hello! Thanks for having me.

I: So, in your opinion, why are apps so popular?

L:Well, apps are very useful. They help us find popular restaurants, call for taxis, find directions to different places, and so on.

I: Indeed. They make our life much easier, don't they? As many of our listeners are students, could you tell us something about educational apps?

L: Sure. Educational apps are becoming increasingly powerful. For example, some apps allow students to choose their online teachers and subjects according to their personal interests and needs. They also ensure that students can all enjoy the same learning materials, even when they're not sitting in the same classroom together!

I: Sounds fantastic! But developing an app must be difficult, right?

L: Well, yes. The most difficult thing is finding out what people need and solving real-world problems.

I: Solving real-world problems, that does sound challenging. What apps are you working on right now?

L: We're working on using the latest technologies in our apps, like VR, AR and MR.

I: How exciting! Let's continue this discussion after the break ...
