Model answer: 


I would like to replace my smartphone. I got it three years ago during a trip to Hanoi. At that time, it was very advanced and helped me a lot with my studies and staying connected with family.


Recently, it has become very slow and the battery drains quickly. I use my phone a lot for work, like checking emails and managing social media for my small business, so it's important for me to have a reliable device.


Replacing it is not too hard in Vietnam because there are many electronics stores and online shops, like Lazada and Shopee. However, good smartphones can be expensive, which is a bit tough for me right now.


I feel a new smartphone would really help me stay more productive and reduce everyday stress. This would improve my work efficiency and personal life, keeping up with the fast-paced technology world.


I hope to save enough money soon to make this replacement possible. It’s important for my career and personal comfort.
