I’d like to share about a time I saved money to buy something I really wanted. Last month, I wanted to buy a new cellphone because my old one was slow and cracked. I found a phone I liked online, but I didn’t have enough money. So, I saved up by making coffee at home, cooking instead of eating out, and taking the bus. After a few weeks, I finally had enough money to buy it. When it arrived, I was really happy because it was fast, looked nice, and the camera was great. How did you feel? Moving on to the second question, I felt very happy and excited when the phone arrived. I worked hard to save money, so it felt great to finally get what I wanted. People spend too much money on trivial items. What do you think? As for the final question, I believe that people spend too much money on trivial items for a few reasons. First, they want to impress others with their wealth or status. Second, they are influenced by advertising and social media, which make them want things they don’t really need. Third, they don’t have a clear financial plan to help control their spending. That’s why many people end up wasting money on things that aren’t truly important.

I’d like to share about a time when I bought something quite expensive. Last month, I wanted to buy a new cellphone because my old one was slow and cracked. I found a phone I liked online, but I didn’t have enough money. So, I saved up by making coffee at home, cooking instead of eating out, and taking the bus. After a few weeks, I finally had enough money to buy it. When it arrived, I was really happy because it was fast, looked nice, and the camera was great. What are the items you can buy at a high price? Moving on to the next question, there are many items that I can buy at a high price. Some examples are: jewelry, art, cars, houses, and designer clothes. These items are expensive because they are rare, beautiful, or have high quality. People who buy them want to show their wealth, taste, or style. In your country, do people often buy high-priced items? Why? As for the final question, many people in my country buy expensive things for different reasons. First, they want to show that they have a good job or a lot of money, so others will respect them. Second, they believe expensive products have better quality and last longer. Third, buying something expensive can make people feel happy, proud, and more confident. That’s why many choose to spend more on things they really like.

I’d like to share a time when someone told me to stop doing something. Last month, I was playing music loudly while studying, and my roommate told me to stop because it was disturbing them. I didn’t realize it was bothering them at first, but then I understood. I felt a bit surprised at first, but I quickly turned the music down and apologized. After that, I made sure to keep the volume low while studying so it wouldn’t bother anyone. How did you feel about it? Now, moving on to the next question. At first, I felt a little surprised and embarrassed. But then I felt sorry for making my roommate uncomfortable. I was happy they told me in a polite way, so we could solve the problem quickly. Do you think there are too many rules in modern life? As for the final question, I think modern life has a lot of rules. We have rules at school, work, and in public places. Even on social media, there are rules about what we can or cannot say. Some rules are helpful because they keep us safe and organized. But sometimes, there are too many rules, and they make people feel stressed or not free. I think it's important to have rules, but not too many. Balance is the key.
