You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.] Model Answer 1: We buy many essential products in our daily lives to make our lives a bit more comfortable except, of course, not all of those products leave any lasting impression on us in the same way.  But, today, I would like to talk about one such product that actually made me feel happy.
