I am a shopping freak, and even sometimes do impulsive shopping as well. So shopping from a street market has its level as we can easily do bargaining there. Therefore today I would like to talk about a time when I bought something from a street market.
As I vividly remember it was 2 months ago when I was roaming around in the street market named ‘Sadar Market’ located in sherpur city. This city is only 3 km away from my village. My mother bring me there as she wanted to purchase some groceries. When I was strolling in the market suddenly a beautiful table lamp caught my eyes. Since I was planning to buy one, thus without wasting any time I went into the street shop and asked for the price. I was shocked as the price was only 200 rupees. I didn’t expect that such a classy lamp having so many features like high intensity of led lights, the base of Doraemon face along with chargeable batteries would be this cheap. At first, I thought that it might be inferior in quality but I was wrong. Later after purchasing that beautiful lamp, I shared this experience with my galpals. They were quite shocked as I made a great deal. Ever since I purchased that lamp it is working amazingly and I use this lamp for writing my assignment and other study-related stuff. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. So this was the recent time when I bought something from a street market.

As I vividly remember it was 2 years ago when my father gave his words to me that if I score well in my degree then he would buy me my dream smartphone. God knows how much hard study and effort I put in order to get the first division in my BTech degree. At first, my father thought to give my gift on the day of the result but due to some salary issues, he had to postpone it for 15 days. I know how much restless I was in between the time period of 15 days. As it was the winter holidays after exams so I was at home and waiting for my mobile phone all the time. Thoughts of my new phone were not escaping my mind during that time.
Actually, my new mobile phone was very special for me As my previous one was damaged all the way down. I was really in the need of buying a new phone. After a lot of searching on the internet, I already planned that I would buy Samsung galaxy s 21. This phone was quite in trend at that time. Since the camera of this phone is totally a beast compared to others. Therefore, I could pursue my dream of youtube vlogger. Due to all these reasons, it was a special thing which going to happen to me.
Those 15 days seemed 15 years to me. It was like time running in a slow-motion. I was uptight impatient during that time. Later after 15 days, my father bring my smartphone to me and I was like in the seventh heaven.

Sample Answer: – I guess every person has some abilities when it comes to being creative therefore it is an acceptable truth that God blesses everyone with some creative talent, but few people who do much hard work can exhibit their creativity in front of others. There is also one of my friends Yashan got a brilliant mind about whom I would like to talk about.
Since my childhood, we have both been neighbors and best friends as well. We both have the same interests and likings. He is a master of video editing. Even he never been to any film or video production school or institute. Still, he gotta so much to exhibit. Although I am too interested in the same field what he is unbeatable in this field.
Talking about his creative things, he works for many film businesses as a freelancer. His style and creativity in his video editing are way above the threshold. He can give cinematic look to even a simple shaking video. Moreover, the effects, color correction, and color gradation are done by him are completely unmatchable. Once there was a time when he shot a professional short movie from a story written by him. Shocking thing is that he did this alone even without any professional equipment, just by his phone. Surprisingly, That movie went viral on youtube and he earned quite a fame and name. Furthermore, he captured a video of my sister’s wedding and it was unbelievable that the video recorded by him was way better than the professional cameramen hired by us.
He always stands out better and is unique in his work, therefore, I always admire his work and pray for high success in his life.

Sometimes luck favours, and sometimes things go sideways. Here i would like to talk about a time when i started a website named “Hippofox.com” but it was completely failure.
Talking about time, it was 6 months ago when i planned to build a website based on budget travelling and trips. After completing the online course on blogging I launched my website by purchasing domain and hosting of my website. Thereafter, I began to write articles on different tourist spots and destinations with complete itinerary. I used to mention about budget stays and restaurants. God knows i worked my fingers to the bones in order to make a best website. I wrote plenty of articles even attached so many photographs, public bus and train timings. Despite this much hard work I did not get any outcome.
After few months of hard work i reviewed my website, heart broking thing was that very few visitors were coming to my website. Moreover i applied 3-4 times for ADsense. Adsense is google’s policy which pay to the bloggers. But google Adsense always disapproved my request. I was completely disappointed at that time. Since i Relaized that my decision of making a website was unsuccessful. I got exasperated and shut my website off. I felt very unlucky and all my efforts went into waste.
