Describe a thing that you possess and which is important to you.
You should say:
- what is it and who gave it to you
- what is the speciality of it
- would you ever give it to someone else
and explain why it is important to you.
Model Answer 1:
I don’t really have that many important things, which I possess, except for my wristwatch, smartphone, laptop and camera. While all of those things are important to me in one way or another, I would choose my camera to talk about here today.
It is a digital camera. One of my elder cousins gave it to me as a gift about 5 years ago, when he visited abroad. It is a compact, 8 Mega Pixel Camera which is about 6 inches in length and 4 inches in width. Having a beautiful silver colour, this camera has a picture resolution of 3264 x 2448. It also has a Full Frame (36 x 24 mm) sensor. Unlike old-style film cameras, my digital camera can capture and record images of any kinds of objects around us, using digital technology. In other words, they store photographs not as patterns of darkness and light, but as long strings of numbers.
This camera has a perfect size zoom lens and carries a memory card as well as batteries in it. This is a light-weight camera which also happens to be water-proof and rather strong. Anyway, I love my camera because I can carry it anywhere I go, so I guess that I wouldn’t really be too much interested to hand it over to somebody else unless there is a very valid reason to do so. After all, I take care of my camera as a little brother, and I don’t think that others would do the same.
Anyway, this camera is an important thing for me because I have a habit of taking a lot of pictures of wherever I go. And, since this camera has many advantages, like it gives me instant photographs, allows me to edit them at will, and makes it easier for me to share photographs using cell phones (mobile phones), emails, and web sites, it has become like an “automatic” partner for me wherever I travel. Besides, its “video recording” option allows me to record any kind of happy and fun event, like wedding, birthday parties or hanging out with friends.
Sample Answer 2:
My cell phone is very important to me as it helps me communicate with my friends, family members, teachers and gets me connected with the people I care. I use the internet on my cell phone, check my emails, update my blog, track the statistics of my website, send and receive SMS, play games, listen to music, take pictures and then share on my Facebook and Twitter profiles. Besides these I do lots of other things in my cell phone including using important apps, reading e-books, using it as a modem to use the internet on my PC etc. My father gave me the money to buy a cell phone and I bought the HTC desire X cell phone from an authorised seller. So my father actually gave the mobile phone to me.
This smartphone has a versatile usage and is very special to me. I spent significant time with this device and some of them are very positive for me like updating my blog and reading e-books. This is a small device with approximately 6.5 x 4 inches dimension but it is a powerful tool and the internet connection in it makes it even more powerful. The first and foremost speciality of this device is that it lets me get connected with my family members and friends. Second, it is an amusement and recreational device that lets me play games and listen to music. Third, I can update my social networking profiles and get updates from my friend right from my cell phone. I had to go to a cybercafe to check an email or to send one before I purchased this smartphone. Now I have this handy device that I can easily use to connect to the internet. Since this is an android OS device I can download many application and tutorials and learn new things. Sometimes I take photos and then share it with my friends. Communication has become so easy and convenient with the help of this cell phone.
Yes, if needed I can give this device to someone who I care about but I will then have to own another one. It’s not like I will give this cell phone to someone and then would stop using any cell phone or switch to an ordinary phone. What I mean is, I can give this particular phone to someone but can’t stop using a Smartphone. Technological advantages have made things easier especially communication and my cell phone is an important device to me.
