Writing exercise

1. describe a product you bought and felt happy about.
I like to collect Starbucks cups recently. There are many different pretty cups which are sold in different seasons. My first cup was bought by Starbucks Because all colleagues had. I didn’t understand until I went to the store and saw many cups what I was attract to them.Up to day, I bought five Starbucks cups. I would like to see the new cup when I passed by the store. There are too many different styles cups to choose. As soon as I bought a new one, I took out the others and appreciated them.

I use a black cup in office because it looks very cool and formal. When my boss wasn’t in the office, I use a beautiful glass to make tea which makes me happy. I think everyone need a cup. I use my cup for 6 years. I saw some people use paper cup once. I think we need to protect our city’s environment, so we can’t waste paper cups and used paper cups is not good for our health.

So I will buy more and more pretty cups not only it makes me happy but It also is a good habit to reduce pollution.

2. Describe something special that you saved money to buy.
I have a big dream which is difficult to realize. I want to buy a house because I would like to live alone. There are some reasons to explain why I need a house.
First I am not a children. I have been worked for 6 years which made me got a lot of money. I have enough money and ability to live without my parents. Actually when I worked tired, I prefer to stay in my room. If I have a house, it must be small, soft and sweet. I can buy some ingredients and make dinner by myself. After dinner I prepare several fruits for watching television.

The second reason is I could invite my best friends to my house once a week. We always meet with each other at Friday, and we would like to eat hot pot. So if I have a house, we can make hot pot by ourselves. It is cleaner and more healthy than hop pot store. We can eat food while watching movies. We can eat for a long time whenever we want to.

The last reason is I want to leave My parents alone. I think they need time to communicate with each other when I out side. They can do everything what they want to do. They don’t take care of me anymore.

Saving money to buy a house is a huge goal. I made a target which will be finished at 35 years old.
