Speaking Test Part 2:

Model Answer:

Well, probably the most important object I own is my mobile phone. I bought it for myself about 6 months ago. Although it wasn’t a flagship model, it was quite expensive so it’s fast, it’s got a fantastic front and rear camera and the battery lasts a long time.

It has many features I use in both my personal and work life. In terms of my personal life I set alarms on it, I message my friends and family, take photos with it, and I use the banking app to pay for almost everything I buy. It’s also crucial for work. I travel a lot for my work so my smartphone is essential for communicating with clients when I’m not in the office or at a computer - I make video calls regularly to speak with them, and I use messaging applications to chat and share work. What’s more, I also need my phone to be able to access the internet when I'm on the move and the map application is a lifesaver as I have a terrible sense of direction.

To answer the final point, I wouldn’t give my mobile to someone else, at least not in the short term, because as I’ve described, I really need and depend on it. But, perhaps in a few years I’ll give it away when I upgrade to a new one.
