● Unfortunately, I am not earning yet, and so I have to restrain myself.

● Here I would like to talk about something, which I want to replace very soon and that is my cell phone.

● I have a very basic model of cell phone, but all my friends have smart phones.

● My parents have flatly refused to buy me one, because they are saving for my education abroad.

1. What are the things that you want to replace?

Well, I have most of the things that I need and they are working perfectly but if given a chance I would like to replace my phone as it almost 3 years old now and there are new phones in the market which have latest features. I think, if I exchange my old phone then I might get some additional discount as well

2. What kinds of things do people like to replace?

I think both of them would like to have new things but children always have more fascination for new things.
