Sample answer: A childhood toy

I'm going to tell you about a stuffed bear named Winnie the Pooh as a special toy that I had when I was a child. 

I remember that when I was young, I was keen on watching the cartoon called “The adventures of Winnie the Pooh” so much that I kept pestering my father to buy me the stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh. Finally, my father gave me one as a present for my 6th birthday. When I got this toy, I jumped for joy and even paid no attention to my other presents.

To describe briefly about the toy, that stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh was extremely special. It was made from high-end materials, including cotton velvet and soft plush, so it can last a long time. The bear had a cute face and a chubby body which can melt any hearts. He also had a short red shirt and was holding a jar of honey which was his favorite food. Another special thing about the toy is that this fluffy friend also plays a children's song when you wind the plastic key in back. This made people delighted to hear the tune and happy to hug the toy. 

Since I got the stuffed bear, I considered him my closest friend and I couldn’t go anywhere without him, even when I went to sleep. Every day, I talked with the bear and told him about my daily routine. Unfortunately, I  lost the bear a year later when visiting an amusement center, which made me cry for almost a week. At that time, I felt like I had lost a good friend who I could share everything with. At present, whenever I watch this cartoon or see any photos of Winnie the Pooh, all the wonderful memories about him are brought back. Thanks to the bear, I experienced a happy childhood.

Sample answer: Something you borrowed from someone

That picture was taken on the Tet holiday when I was 6. It was the first day of the Lunar New Year and my parents wanted to take a nice photo of me.

Sample answer

It is the Samsung Note 10 smartphone that I'm going to talk about as a technological item I have spent a fortune to buy. 

A month ago I planned to buy for myself a new smartphone as my current one started acting up. At that time, I was considering between an Iphone and a Samsung smartphone. After a careful research, reading user reviews and browsing some websites to make comparisons between the two phones, I came to the decision to buy the latest Samsung Note 10 smartphone, which costs more than 1,000 US dollars.

There are numerous reasons why I have interest in this product. First, it functions very well as a portable smart device, which I can use it for entertainment and work purposes. To be more specific, I could refresh myself after a hard day’s work by enjoying music or watching reality shows on the Internet. Or, I am able to keep in touch with my old friends whom I could not meet in person regularly. Besides, this mobile phone helps me to handle my workload effectively. For example, I could check emails when waiting for the bus, and this saves a lot of time.

Another feature of this phone which makes me prefer it over an Iphone is the Google Assistant. Ot is an artificial intelligence-powered assistant developed by Google that is mainly available on android devices. Thanks to Google Assistant, my daily tasks have become easier than ever. The Assistant helps me to find information online, from restaurant bookings to directions, weather and news, schedule events and alarms, run timers and reminders, make appointments and send messages. More important, what I am immensely interested in this application is the real-time spoken translation. This function is very helpful for me every time I travel to non-English speaking countries, like Japan, China or Korea. 

Despite the high price, I can tell that the Samsung Note 10 smartphone is truly worth the money.
