M the thing that I own and I really want to replace in the future is my, um, mobile phone. It is actually a gift from my father and I have been using it for about five years. When I entered the university, my dad was given it as a gift at that time. The reason I want to change it because it is becoming quite outdated and doesn’t keep up with the latest technology. Uh, to tell the truth, uh, from my inner side, I don’t. I don’t want to get rid of it because of its sentimental value. But I need more modern, one that can make my work more sophisticated. I’m studying at master’s degree and, uh, at university, so my phone is my versatile tool for me. Moreover, some people started to laugh at my phone. I try not to pay attention. But anyway, such kind of people bother me with their impoliteness. That’s why I want to purchase a new pawn on the latest model. After a few months. No matter how difficult to throw away the old one, I should do it. All in all, that was the thing that I wanted to replace.
