Describe something that you spend money on.

 

You should say:

       How much you spend on it

       Why you spend that much money on it

       How that compares to other things

 

And whether you are happy with the money you spend on that thing or not, and why

 

 

 

Describe your biggest recent purchase.

 

Things to include in your answer:

       Why you bought it

       Where you bought it

       How it compares to similar things

 

And say how you feel about that purchase now and why.
