What it is?
How much did you spend on it?
Why you bought it?
And explain why you think you spent more than expected.
Recently, my old phone broke down, and I had to buy a new phone. I considered various models, but ultimately, I decided to buy the Apple iPhone. I think I made the purchase because of the brand name and because of friend’s reviews. The phone was much costlier than I expected. It was priced at 1000 dollars. I still went for it because I wanted to own an iPhone. Previously, I had a Samsung phone, but all my friends told me that Apple is way above Samsung in quality. After buying it, I also felt that Apple is better. The camera quality was better; the response rate was faster, the look was more elegant. However, deep down, I knew I didn’t care about these things. I rarely click pictures with the phone, and even if I do, I am fine with a lower resolution. The response rate was faster, but then I was comparing the response rate of a new Apple iPhone with a 3-year-old Samsung phone, so the comparison was not apt. And, above all, the price was way higher than the other models in the market. I bought the mobile phone not because of need but because of impulse. I know I am not a heavy mobile phone user. I mainly use the mobile phone to call and to check WhatsApp messages. Besides that, I use barely 2-3 apps like Zomato for ordering food and Uber for travelling. I knew I could have that done all that I wanted with a much cheaper version, but I still went for the Apple iPhone. Finally, because of this decision, I had to postpone the decision of buying a new laptop, which I urgently need. My old one is about 6 years old, and sometimes it takes nearly half an hour to start up. A new laptop would have made my life much more comfortable than the iPhone did. For all these reasons, I regret buying the iPhone and spending so much on it.


16)Describe a habit your friend has and you want to develop.

You should say
Who your friend is?
What habit he/she has?
When you noticed this habit?
And explain why you want to develop this habit?
No doubt, we easily get impressed by the good habits of others and wish to develop the same attributes, which is not an easy thing to do. Here I am going to describe a good habit of my friend just who keeps the habit of reading for interest in leisure time. He has been doing this thing for ages, and now he’s kind of addicted to this pursuit. Reading in free time helps him in many ways. Firstly unlike others, he spent his free time in a productive manner. Secondly, through reading, he acquires knowledge of different domains, and this is perhaps the reason why he is the most active student in the classroom who always has the answers to the questions asked by the teachers. Last but not least he is very proficient in English because he mostly read books in English, which helps him to improve his vocabulary. Considering all these factors, I think I should also develop an interest in reading. I have requested just to help me by lending some books to read as he has a kind of a library at home with hundreds of books, as many of those books being gifted to him by his friends and family members. In fact, he also accompanied me to the local library, where we read some journals and periodicals together. I hope this habit will help me to sit and study for long hours, which will ultimately improve my academic performance overall. It is the habit that my friend has, and I, too, wish to develop.
