Throughout my life I have received many gifts but today I would like to talk about one gift which I received on my birthday. I vividly remember that on 7th February 2025 my family celebrated my birthday. They invited all my friends, relatives and neighbors. When all guests arrived we first kid cut the cake and enjoyed the sumptuous dinner. Moreover after sometime one of my close friends Darshan gave me a gift. When I opened that gift I felt astonished because first time I received such an expensive gift. But after that moment I realized the love Darshan has for me. Then I felt very elated. This was a very expensive gift, a precious watch with many features. It shows dual time and has a stopwatch and timer. On a daily basis I set the time for my daily routine, how much time I waste on phone scrolling. Because usually I am preparing for the IELTS exam and meanwhile I waste my significant amount of time on phone. So that’s why this is affecting my study. That’s why this is very important gift for me. As a result this keeps me active and above. Thanks. Thank you.
