Describe something you received for free.

You should say:

• what it was

• who you received it from

• when and where you received it

and explain how you felt about it.

Introduction

I am not sure about the others, but I don’t really mind if someone offers me something for free, even if it means that something is the smallest of the things. But, today, I am not going to talk about any small thing, but something significant or something valuable, which I received about 10 years ago for free.

Who you received it from

Anyway, back then, I mean about 10 years ago, I was still a young boy and attending high school. But, as a high school student, I wasn’t exactly like the other boys who were growing up with me. In fact, I was more of a “loner” since I didn’t really have any friends to hang out with.

Of course, I used to talk to my classmates or do things with them during school hours, but after school hours, I was more comfortable being alone. My parents and close relatives knew these things about me, and they all were perfectly okay with it except just one person. And that one person was my youngest aunt.

When and where you received it

That aunt came to my place one day and asked me why I didn’t have any friends with whom I could hang out. In response, all I could say was that I just didn’t like being around any kind of crowd, and I didn’t like having unnecessary talks with anybody. Then, suddenly, she asked me if I liked to hear music.

I answered “yes” as I did like to listen to music when I was alone. She got really excited after learning that I loved music, but what I didn’t know was that she was going to give me a nice-looking mini, cassette player for free!

Explain how you felt about it

And as soon as I received that cassette player from my loving aunt, I felt like my prayer to God was finally answered as someone really took the time to understand me and feel for my needs. I also felt that I could always count on my loved ones, no matter how distant they look at times.
