Talk about a special thing you would like to buy in future. Please say -

1.   What is it?

2.   Why do you need it? and

3.   What is so special about it?  

SAMPLE ANSWER - 

One special thing that I would like to buy in future is a Smartphone. It will not be any other ordinary mobile available in the market but a Samsung galaxy S6. The foremost reason I need to buy this Smartphone is that it comes loaded with a lot of unique features that are very attractive. Moreover, as my sister's old phone has now turned outdated due to rigorous use, I feel the need to buy it in the months in order to present it to her.

There are a lot of characteristics and features that make this phone quiet special. To begin with, it comes with a high resolution, 15 megapixel camera which allows users to take photographs of some of the most important and beautiful moments if their lives. In addition to it, as it is equipped with a 16 GB data card, I believe that it will be a lot useful for my sister as it will enable her to store important files and data on the go. Furthermore, its sleek and slim design will make it highly comfortable for her to carry it easily anywhere. Moreover, as it is one of the most trusted and leading brand in the mobile phone market, I have complete trust in its performance and efficiency.

However, one thing that makes it really special for me to buy it is the fact that my sister always wanted to have a phone that is both stylish and useful for her at the same time. She always had an eye for this particular model, ever since it launched in India. I would like to buy this phone so that I can present it to her on her birthday, which is due to arrive in a month's time from now. I really wish I save enough money to buy it and acquire this special thing for my sister and make her happy.

You should say:

1.     Where it is

2.     What it looks like inside and outside

3.     What kinds of foods they serve

4.     What makes this restaurant so special to you and others.

India is a land of diversity. These diverse variations are not only reflected in our lifestyle but also in the food we eat. As I love to eat, I prefer to go to restaurants often with my friends or family. One such restaurant which I would like to talk about today and which is one of my favorites is Jehan Numa Palace.

The restaurant is located near the upper lake in Bhopal and has a natural ambience surrounding it. Not only I like the spacious, serene environment and the tasty cuisines that the restaurant serves, but I have lots of memories related to this restaurant. I have often visited this restaurant for family get-togethers, reunion with school or college friends and at times during the marriage ceremonies of my loved ones. Due to this, the restaurant holds a special place in my life.

In addition,the restaurant has an ethnic look to its ambience, which transports the food lovers to an all together different era in time. It not only consists of ancient sculptures that were found near the city of Bhopal, but it also includes paintings of famous artists, which have been decorated on the walls. Moreover, the place is quite neat and clean and the staff is well mannered and provides excellent service to the customers. The interior decoration is charming and has a gorgeous feeling.

The restaurant offers several dishes including exotic desserts, ice-creams and also offers a separate place for the kids to play and have fun. To add on to it, the prices are reasonable and the foods are served quickly as opposed to some other restaurantswhere you will have to wait for a long time for your food to get served. The restaurant offers an array of cuisines such as Chinese, Italian, Indian, Thai, Pakistani and local menus that gives you a wide range and options to pick from. Also,the soft background music and instrumentals make the environment more enjoyable and soothing.

The place is one of the best joints to eat out and have a fun gathering with friends and family. A lot of foreign tourists prefer to eat at this place when they visit our city. The authority lets the customers provide their feedbacks and comments on foods and the place and as I have noticed they take prompt action on a customer complaint. The restaurant is very special to me and my friends because we meet their every weekend. Thus, I have a lot of sweet memories associated with this place.
