Model Answer:
Thank you very much for the time you have given me to talk about something I have purchased but hardly used. I will tell you about the mobile phone that I bought six months ago which I have barely touched so far.
The mobile phone that I purchased was from the Samsung brand and I purchased it from a 'Samsung Smartphone Cafe'. The store is located a few blocks away from my home and I purchased a Samsung smartphone (model Samsung Galaxy A 30) which cost me nearly $340.
I already have a smartphone that comes with better features and configuration than the one I recently purchased. However, my daughter, who is barely 4 years old, often used to grab my mobile phone to watch her favourite cartoons on YouTube. Sometimes, I needed the phone to check my emails or make a phone call while she was expecting to watch cartoons at the same time. I had been in a great quandary as it was hard for me to say no to my little angel to let her use my phone while I needed that for important tasks. That's when I decided to buy a second smartphone to solve my dilemma.
So basically, I bought the phone so that I could use it as my backup phone and let my daughter use it to enjoy her favourite cartoons online. However, within a few days, my daughter no longer was interested to watch her cartoons on the screen of a smartphone. She chose a bigger screen for that- our TV. Since I do not want to carry two mobile phones with me and my daughter no longer watches videos on that smartphone, it is left unused at home. However, I charge it time to time so that it does not get switched off.
Describe something you bought but did not use much.
You should say:- what it was
- where you bought it from
- why you bought it
