Sample Answer 1

Introduction:

As we all know, gifts are a part and parcel of our life and we can receive and give many gifts to our kith and kins. Today I would like to talk about a special present which I recently got and hence it is worth mentioning.

Who gave it to you & When you received it?

My father gave it to me on my 18th birthday. It was a black colour 5G Scooter from the Brand of Honda.

Why you needed it?

I need it because commuting to college in a public transport was a daunting task for me. I used to waste two precious hours of mine in travelling to college. Although my college was close to my residence, however there were many traffic lights on the way because of which the bus moved slowly. On the other hand, a two wheeler takes less space and it is easy for us to move from one place to another in traffic.

How you felt about it?

My joy was unbounded when I first saw my gift. On receiving it, I was on cloud nine. I was flabbergasted and felt dumbstruck. Apart from this, most of my friends had their personal conveyance and I didn’t. It made feel deprived but now I feel delighted and ecstatic on receiving this precious gift.
