Hi ladies and gentlemen, today I will describe for you something essential I have bought for myself. First of all, I would say I'm not really the type of person who loves to buy expensive things. I just buy something that I think is very important for myself. The most expensive thing I've ever bought for myself is a laptop. I think it is very essential for my studies. First, let me introduce a little bit about this laptop. The laptop I bought is an HP. It cost about 20 to 30 million VND. At first, I felt a little bit of hesitation because it's very expensive for me, and I thought it was a bit of a waste. But after considering it, I realized the laptop is very important for my studies, so I decided to buy it. I bought it two years ago at Wingame Electronic Supermarket, which is a very famous reputable supermarket in big cities. The reason why I bought it? Well, I think it's very important for my studies. For example, when I study literature, I need the laptop to find all the information I need. Or when I study art, I need the laptop to find the best examples to draw. On the other hand, I can use this laptop to relax after a long, stressful study day. So you can see it is very useful for me. I can find everything that I need for my studies with this laptop. I can say that I use it every day, all the time, and everywhere I need because I need to study throughout the week. After I study at school, I need to study more at home, so I really need this laptop to find the information for my studies. Well, how did I feel about it? To be honest, I had a little bit of a break because it's very expensive for me. You know, I'm a minor. I'm under 18 years old, so I can't earn money right now. And I didn't choose to use it often. But after all, I think it's very worthwhile because it has helped me a lot in my studies and in improving myself. That's all of my ideas. Thank you very much for listening. I know I covered a little bit.
