Sample reference article

I have bought a number of technological products, and the most significant one is my cell phone. That’s a Macbook Pro, which can be seen as the masterpiece of Apple. Due to its astonishing features, this laptop is prohibitively priced and only suitable for well- off people. However, after many months working, I have saved up enough money to buy one.

I caught sight of this laptop quite accidentally. That was a peaceful weekend when I was chilling out by binge watching my favorite movies on my old laptop. By chance, an advertisement popped up, announcing a newly-released mobile gadget from Apple, a tech behemoth in the US. You know, I was mesmerised by its nicely-designed appearance at first sight, which was the reason why I was determined to save money for it.

This is a very important tech device to me, as it was the very first thing that I bought without asking for my parents’ money. I mean, I just bought it with my own monthly allowance, after many months refraining myself from buying trendy clothes or delicious cups of milk tea to have enough money for this Iphone.

It also helps me relax, keep in touch with other family members and seek information on the internet. That’s why I think this laptop is super important.
