IELTS Reading

I'd like to talk about a cell phone I bought from Alaeddin Shopping Center in Tehran, which I later gave as a gift. The phone was a sleek and modern smartphone, a popular model at the time, with a great camera and fast performance—features I knew the recipient would appreciate.

I gave this gift to my younger brother on his birthday. He had been using an older phone for a while, and it was starting to give him trouble. So, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to upgrade his device and make his daily life a little easier, especially since he's a student and uses his phone for studying and staying connected with friends.

I felt really happy and excited to give him the phone. He’s always been supportive of me, and I wanted to show my appreciation. Seeing his surprised and delighted reaction when he unwrapped it made the moment even more special for me.

I chose this gift because I knew it was something he needed and would use daily. Plus, getting it from Alaeddin Shopping Center, known for its wide variety of electronics, ensured that I could find the best option for him at a reasonable price.
