Now I am going to speak about a laptop which is really needed for me. Several months ago I broke my laptop because of falling it down and it didn’t work after that. But at that time laptop or computer was so important for my study in order to make some presentations and to present them in front of the class. After that I came across some difficulties. I asked as a borrow from my friend and they gave me several times. I felt ashamed a little bit because their laptop was needed for themselves also. I didn’t know what to do. At work I need a laptop in order to organize things and check the homeworks which is given to my students. At that time I couldn’t ask from my parent. After several days later it was a women’s day in our country. My parents gave me a new laptop as a gift. I was very overwhelmed and on the cloud 9 because they gave me the thing which is really needed for me. After that I was very thankful to my parents because this laptop was the thing which I really wanted to buy. It was a brand for us Apple and it was the latest style of Apple. I was very thankful to my parents. I think if they didn’t give it to me I couldn’t manage my homework.

Now I am going to speak about a laptop that I really needed. Several months ago, I broke my laptop because I dropped it, and it didn't work after that. At that time, a laptop or computer was very important for my studies in order to make presentations and present them in front of the class. After that, I faced some difficulties. I asked to borrow one from my friends, and they lent me theirs several times. I felt a little ashamed because their laptops were needed for themselves as well. I didn't know what to do. At work, I needed a laptop to organize things and check the homework assigned to my students. At that time, I couldn't ask my parents for help. A few days later, it was Women's Day in our country. My parents gave me a new laptop as a gift. I was overwhelmed and on cloud nine because they gave me something that I really needed. After that, I was very thankful to my parents because this laptop was something I really wanted to buy. It was an Apple brand, and it was the latest model. I was very grateful to my parents. I think if they hadn't given it to me, I couldn't have managed my homework.
