I am going to talk about my phone, the most expensive item I have ever bought in my life. It was in the last summer. I essentially lost my old phone, but I needed a modern device for my study, so my father drove me to the phone store. Initially, I did not wish for my phone. I wanted to buy a new Chinese brand phone, and I decided to buy it. It had a really large screen and a long battery, which really improved for my study because I needed to use it for a long time. Since I bought it, it helped me a lot in my studying. It helped me save documents on the internet and helped me solve my homework. It also helped me with entertainment. I usually watch some short videos on it after studying. Originally, it is a really useful tool for connecting with my friends. It is quite old now, but I do not have a tendency for buying a new one because it works quite well now. I really appreciate it. It is a default. If I have to talk about an expensive item, it would have to be my phone.
