Model Answer:
A few months ago, the national budget has been placed in the national 
parliament of India and the budget has reduced the price of electronics 
products. I have been planning for long to buy a computer for my home use. 
Usually, before the budget, the price of everything becomes a bit unstable. 
Some of the dishonest business people try to raise the products’ price 
unusually and life becomes struggling. The price of every commodity gets an 
increase and the situations become intolerable. So, when I heard about the 
price reduction of electronic products, it was really a pleasure for me. I am a 
student and have been saving money for past one year to buy a computer. But 
due to the increased price, I could not make it. I made several attempts to buy

a computer and each time I found that the price was out of my reach and even 
I cannot make it with the least configuration. So, when the finance minister 
announced the proposed budget, he said that the import tax on electronic 
products including computers, mobile phone, laptops etc. would be reduced; it 
was really good news for me. 
The budget was presented in March in 2016 in the Parliament of India. Usually, 
I am not that much interested in hearing the budget speeches as they do not 
have any appeal to me. Each year, right before the budget, the prices of 
everything get a hike and this is not an exception in this year. Prices of 
necessary products started increasing alarmingly but when the budget was 
placed, everything was normal. One of my college friends asked me to watch 
the budget on the television as his father works at the ministry of finance and 
somehow he came to know about the price fall of electronic goods. Despite my 
unwillingness, I watched the budget speech of the finance minister and came 
to know that the prices of electronic goods have been reduced to some extent. 
It made me happy as now I could buy a computer for my own. 
The news was great for me. I am a youth of a middle-class family in India and 
my father is a small government official while my mother is a school teacher. 
So, often it becomes difficult for them to maintain the family and in such cases, 
I cannot ask them to buy a computer for me. Now a day, it is almost impossible 
to do something without a computer. Moreover, I need a computer as many of 
my texts in my college are digitalized and they need computers to read out. 
Some presentations are also there and the teachers also ask me to make such 
presentations for the class. So, for the want of a computer, my academic 
studies were being hampered seriously. So, I planned to buy it all by myself 
and accordingly started saving money from my regular pocket money. Though I 
accumulated almost 12000 rupees, I needed more to have a computer (in fact 
the minimum price for a lower graded computer is about 20000 rupees). The 
announcement made me pleased and I would be able to buy a computer after 
a few days. A draft calculation from a computer selling store showed that I 
could buy the computer if I have only 14500 rupees. 
I simultaneously felt several emotions inside me. Firstly, it was a kind of joy 
that I am having my dream come true. Then I thought that everything is 
possible in the world. Finally, I was surprised that how it could be possible to 
buy a computer at a lower price. But all these were my initial emotions and 
excitement. I thought over the issue finally and figured out that the prices 
went up as the importer of electronic goods had to pay some extra duties. 

---

 
Now they will not need any such duties. So, when they will not pay duties, they 
would be able to sell the products at a cheaper price than the former days. In 
fact, when I learnt the good news, I jumped out of joy and shouted loudly at 
my home. My family members were astonished in such behave and when they 
came to know about the real fact, they were relieved of anxiety that I am okay 
with my sense.
