Sample 1

Presenting gifts to your friends is a good way to make a long-lasting bond. So, I have my best friend Abhinav. I have known him for the last five years, and I know him because we met at a gym five years back and became bosom friends after that.

And the gift I would give to him is a microwave oven. And I have chosen this gift for him because Abhinav does not stay with his family, so he remains alone. Earlier, he used to cook his food himself, but nowadays, he doesn’t cook it himself because of a shortage of time. Nowadays, he’s not a student; he’s working for a company and has a time shortage.

So, gifting him a microwave would serve two benefits. First, his health would improve significantly because these days he eats outside food that is full of oil, and if he cooks food at home, he’ll be in good health because home-made food is full of nutrition. The microwave makes it very easy to cook food because it has some pre-installed functions through which you can cook delicacies of your choice at the drop of a hat.

The second benefit Abhinav would get is that he would save a lot of money because every day, he spends around $50 on his meals, and if he cooks at home, he can manage it for just $10. So, every day, he’ll be saving $40. So this microwave would be a blessing for him. I want to give him a gift so he can become a fit person and save money.
