I would like to talk about the time I had my grandfather’s how to use the phone. It’s about a few years ago I decided to buy a phone for my grandfather so he can update news and contact related more easily. You know because during that time I had to focus on studying at university. I had more of a view out and have little chance to visit my grandfather regularly. I cannot only visit him on special occasions like Ted’s holiday because he’s so forgetful and has difficulty adapting to modern technology. Interest him to use the phone comfortably is also difficult challenge for me. This was a long road because he was very forgetful. He couldn’t even remember the on and off return of his phone. This can be very frustrating if you don’t have enough patience. To be honest I spent many hours adjusting from my grandfather the easiest and most convenient detail on the phone. Aim point out notable points so he can easily contact me like with return to make a video call with return to go to the missing reading sections. Although it’s difficult to show him how to use the phone. It’s make a lot of sense. This gives me the patience to concentrate on doing something like when I have my grandfather’s and especially we can communicate with each other from anywhere at any time. I feel blissfully happy to be able to contact him every day and of course he won’t feel lonely anymore when I go away to school for a long time. He also feel very happy to have access to such modern equipment and I was happy to be able to help him in some way therefore I will try to study hard so that I can help him more in the future.

You know, during that time, I had to focus on studying at university. I had a busy schedule and had little chance to visit my grandfather regularly. I could only visit him on special occasions like holidays because he was so forgetful and had difficulty adapting to modern technology. Teaching him to use the phone comfortably was also a difficult challenge for me. This was a long process because he was very forgetful. He couldn't even remember how to turn his phone on and off. This could be very frustrating if you don't have enough patience. To be honest, I spent many hours adjusting the phone for my grandfather, making it as easy and convenient as possible. I pointed out notable features so he could easily contact me, like how to make a video call and how to access the messaging sections. Although it was difficult to show him how to use the phone, it made a lot of sense. This experience taught me patience and concentration, especially when I was with my grandfather. We could communicate with each other from anywhere at any time.
