Here I’d like to talk about the laptop that was given to me and I really wanted to have. Last year I started learning IT, although I had a computer, I was struggling to learn it because my computer was very old and didn’t work properly and fast. Initially it didn’t cause many problems for me, but as I keep learning, I needed to install heavy programs on my computer but I couldn’t install them because these programs were new and it was very hard for my computer. It was impossible for my old computer to operate these problems, so I was thinking about buying a new computer. Unfortunately I didn’t have much money to buy it, but my dad realized that I desperately needed a new computer. On my birthday, my dad gave me a brand new computer. When I received this gift, I was all the moon and I said thank you to my dad. Now I use this computer for my studies, for example learning English, coding and watching videos. I always try to use this device effectively because it also helps me learn everything. I think it’s the best gift that I’ve ever received.

Here I'd like to talk about the laptop that was given to me and that I really wanted to have. Last year I started learning IT. Although I had a computer, I was struggling to learn because my computer was very old and didn't work properly or quickly. Initially, it didn't cause many problems for me, but as I kept learning, I needed to install heavy programs on my computer. I couldn't install them because these programs were new, and it was very hard for my computer. It was impossible for my old computer to operate these programs, so I was thinking about buying a new computer. Unfortunately, I didn't have much money to buy one, but my dad realized that I desperately needed a new computer. On my birthday, my dad gave me a brand new computer. When I received this gift, I was over the moon, and I thanked my dad. Now I use this computer for my studies, for example, learning English, coding, and watching videos. I always try to use this device effectively because it helps me learn everything. I think it's the best gift that I've ever received.
