Well, there are many technological items that I use on a daily basis that make my life easier, but I’d
have to say that the one that I use most frequently is my laptop. Well, as you know, laptops are very
convenient they are small and light, so it’s very easy and convenient to carry and take them with
you. Uhm, I bought my laptop about two years ago when I first arrived in Sydney, and I bought for
several reasons. The first reason, and perhaps the most important one, was for my studies. I use it a
lot to do my assignments and I know I will use it even more when I start my Master’s degree.
Another reason was for entertainment. So, for example, I use it to watch TV series online, to watch
movies and to listen the news. Actually, I watch the news from my country every night from my
laptop.
