I remember that when I was young, I was keen on watching the cartoon called “The adventures of Winnie the Pooh” so much that I kept pestering my father to buy me the stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh. Finally, my father gave me one as a present for my 6th birthday. When I got this toy, I jumped for joy and even paid no attention to my other presents.
To describe briefly about the toy, that stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh was extremely special. It was made from high-end materials, including cotton velvet and soft plush, so it can last a long time. The bear had a cute face and a chubby body which can melt any hearts. He also had a short red shirt and was holding a jar of honey which was his favorite food. Another special thing about the toy is that this fluffy friend also plays a children's song when you wind the plastic key in back. This made people delighted to hear the tune and happy to hug the toy.
Since I got the stuffed bear, I considered him my closest friend and I couldn’t go anywhere without him, even when I went to sleep. Every day, I talked with the bear and told him about my daily routine. Unfortunately, I lost the bear a year later when visiting an amusement center, which made me cry for almost a week. At that time, I felt like I had lost a good friend who I could share everything with. At present, whenever I watch this cartoon or see any photos of Winnie the Pooh, all the wonderful memories about him are brought back. Thanks to the bear, I experienced a happy childhood.
On the holiday to Hong Kong two years ago with my family, I visited the Disney land amusement park there and was really amazed by a wide range of adorable and even exclusive souvenirs. I couldn't stop myself from snagging home a lot of Disneyland's merchandise and my favourite one is the exclusive version of the stuffed bear called Winnie the Pooh.

This souvenir is truly an outstanding merchandise of Disneyland and I find it worth my money. I put the bear and some other beautiful Disney land souvenir I bought on a cupboard in my living for display and they have done a very good job in decoration.
My little sister has been keen on watching the cartoon called “The adventures of Winnie the Pooh”. Therefore, on her 6th birthday, I decided to buy her an exclusive version of the stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh, which is only available in Hong Kong. Therefore, I had to order the shipment of this stuffed toy overseas and deal with a lot of procedures of international payment in order to buy it.

I remember that when I was young, I was keen on watching the cartoon called “The adventures of Winnie the Pooh” so much that I really desired to have the stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh. However, at that time, my family was so poor that even a small stuffed animal was unaffordable. Therefore, when I learned that my next-door neighbour friend was given the stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh, I kept pestering her to lend me that toy for one week to play with it. Fortunately, she did agree. When I got this toy, I jumped for joy and even paid no attention to anything else.

That picture was taken on the Tet holiday when I was 6. It was the first day of the Lunar New Year and my parents wanted to take a nice photo of me. In order to capture my attention and make me smile, my parents let me take a photo with my favourite toy, which was a stuffed bear called "Winnie the Pooh".
In the photo, I was siting nicely, holding the bear tightly in my arms and smiling happily while looking at it. I was wearing a red ao dai - Vietnamese traditional clothing - for children as it was Tet holiday.

Three months ago, I bought for myself a new smartphone as my current one started acting up. At that time, I was considering between an Iphone and a Samsung smartphone. After a careful research, reading user reviews and having a look at some websites to make comparisons between the two phones, I came up with the decision to buy the latest Samsung smartphone.
The Samsung phone that I bought is the most advanced Android smartphone available today with many new features. However, since it is too powerful, too polished, it becomes the little things that stand out, especially on the negative sides. First, with the huge size, the Samsung note 10 plus isn't the easiest phone to hold, making it impossible for me to use it in one hand. Second, when I first used the phone, I was clueless in how to turn off or restart it. I kept struggling with the power button but still didn't make it. Last but not least, this new Samsung phone comes with different setup than my old phone, so some simple tasks became pretty challenging, such as setting up password for some particular apps and folders.
In order to get to know the phone better, I searched on google video clips and articles instructing people to use the phone. I followed the instructions I found and started to get accustomed with using Bixby - the artificial intelligence-powered assistant of Samsung phone. Just by giving orders to Bixby through voice control, it is much easier to use the phone.
And that's all I want to say about the difficulties I faced when I first use my Samsung phone.
| Describe a piece of clothing that you like wearing/ you usually wear You should say - what the item of clothing is - where and when you bought it - when you wear it And explain why you like wearing it. |
The polo shirt is white and blue in colour with a collar, a placket neckline with three buttons and a small pocket to the left. It is short sleeved and made from 100% cotton. This makes the shirt comfortable and perfect for wearing at any time of year here in Vietnam due to the hot and humid weather. The polo shirt is machine washable so it is extremely convenient.
I bought the polo shirt last year when I was in need of a piece of top clothing which can be worn in different situations, from going to work, going out shopping or hanging out with friends. It was easy to buy because this clothing item is common and I knew exactly which size I needed. Therefore, I simply went online and found the best offer; I bought it through a commercial website of a clothing retailer, and it was delivered to my house a few days later.
The reason why I like this coat is that it’s so practical and comfortable to wear. It can be combined with both casual and formal clothing. I believe plain polos are essentials for any wardrobe.
I bought the coat last year at the beginning of autumn when the weather started to get colder. It was easy to buy because I had had the exact same coat before; my old coat was starting to look a bit worn out, so I decided to buy a new version. As I knew which size I needed, I simply went online and found the best offer; I bought it through a shopping website, and it was delivered to my house a few days later.
As I said, I’m wearing this coat a lot at the moment. It’s my everyday coat for going to work or for when I go out shopping or for any other reason.
The reason why I like this coat is that it’s so practical and functional. It’s waterproof and it keeps me warm, but it also comes in handy for carrying things like my phone, wallet, loose change, a pen, and even a notebook; I tend to fill my pockets with whatever I can. It even folds up small enough to fit in my bag when I don’t need it.
