Sample Answer 1:
I wish that I had a lot of money so that I would be able to buy a lot of “special” things, but unfortunately, I don’t really see that happening soon. But, I guess that I could still talk about at least one “special” thing, which I would really want to buy in the future.
I am talking about buying a computer desk. In fact, I have been planning to buy a perfect computer desk for quite sometimes, but I am not buying “perfect” looking computer desk just yet because my family is about to remodel my room, along with the rest of the house, and I want to make sure that my computer desk matches the interior design and painting of my room.
So, as soon as my room gets a new model and painting after a couple of months, I will go ahead and buy my computer desk, which I want to use, mainly, to keep my desktop computer. My computer desk should be about five feet wide, two and a half feet deep, and the knee space under the desk should about 2 feet high. Having a perfect L-shape design, the computer desk should preferably be made of solid wood and should also have a nice “Carolina oak” finish. Of course, I wouldn’t mind any other “finish”, but it has to be very “unique” and appealing. Finally, it should also feature a sliding drawer for keyboard storage and two drawers for additional storage on each surface of the “specially designed” computer desk.
Anyway, I want to buy this particular piece of furniture, primarily because my old computer desk is getting “old and obsolete”. Besides, my old computer desk is not spacious enough for my rather large desktop computer. On top of that, I am planning to buy this beautiful piece of new furniture also because I want to be able to give my “newly-remodeled” room a new look. Finally, and most importantly, I also want to buy this special computer desk because I want to be able to feel comfortable physically in an “ergonomic” way while working on it.
Model Answer 2:
So, I’ve been asked to talk about ‘something special that I’d like to buy in the future’, it’s quite tricky to know how to respond to this topic. Should I pick something that I’d love to buy, but isn’t realistic (like a rainbow); something that I’d love to buy as a gift for someone else (treat my mum to afternoon tea at a posh hotel) or something practical for me (I could really do with a new pair of winter shoes)? In fact, I’m going to go with the first thing that popped into my head when you told me the theme – I’m going to talk about something that I would really really like to buy, but haven’t quite got around to yet.
I’m going to tell you what it is, what is like, when I intend to buy it and why it is I’d like this particular item so much.
Sample Answer 3:
I have a personal list (wish list you can say) that has many things that I want to buy in future. One such special thing that I want to buy in the near future is a personal car. I mostly use public transportation to move from one place to another and to visit my hometown which is very inconvenient. Owning a car would be a great advantage for me as I would be able to freely move and visit my hometown more frequently.
The car I want to buy is the Fusion Hybrid car by Ford. This is a stylish looking car which is also fuel-efficient. My preference would be a white colour car. I intend to buy it after 2-3 years as it would allow me to save the money and apply for the car loan I need to purchase it.
There are so many advantages of owning a car especially in the city I live in. Maintaining perfect timing is pretty tough if you travel on a public bus. You would need to wait for the bus, stay in the long queue for a long. And the frequency of the public buses and the number of people do not allow one to maintain the timing one needs to keep. If I own my own car I'd be able to avoid the usual bad traffic and take the alternatives roads. Travelling on a public bus is inconvenient and you do not have any privacy in it. With my own car, I'd be able to go to my hometown and visit my parents more frequently than I do now.
Sample Answer 4:
I know exactly what the special thing is that I want to buy in the future. In fact, I’d like to buy it right now, as soon as I’ve finished talking to you today! I’m going to tell you what it is, what it is like, when I’ll buy it and explain why it is I want to get it so urgently and so much!
The item is a spider catcher. Have you ever hear of them? They are a bit tricky to describe, but basically, it’s a simple gadget that allows you to pick up a spider without hurting or touching it, so you can release it unharmed elsewhere. There are different designs, but the one I like the look of has a long handle with a trigger mechanism at one end which operates some soft gentle bristles at the other. If you believe the adverts, it works by surrounding the spider with bristles that close around it, forming a harmless trap, which allows you to pick up and release the spider without squashing it. To operate it you simply squeeze the lever to open the bristles, position the open bristles over the spider, then release the lever so they gently close around it. You can then pick up the spider and release it somewhere else – a long way away - by once again squeezing the lever to reopen the trap. Apparently, it doesn’t harm the creature, it also promises ‘no mess, safe and easy to use’.
So that’s what it is called and how it is supposed to work. I’d like to buy it soon. Why? Because I have a completely irrational fear of spiders! It is very specific though, I don’t think I have true arachnophobia, I’m fine with even very large spiders if they are outside, but there is a certain form of house spider we have here in the UK which always makes me jump. They are quite large, they can grow to about 12 – 14 centimeters in size, and the males become active in houses around autumn (October time). At this time of year, they leave their webs in search of a female and will move inside to the drier environment of a house after a summer living outside or in sheds. They prowl about looking for female mates. They move very erratically, and quite high up on their legs, plus they have a tendency to loiter in corners or shoot across the floor, where if the light hits them they cast a ridiculously disproportionate shadow. They can’t hurt you, and they are only looking for love, but my how they frighten me if I just catch sight of one unexpectedly. The reason I want to buy a spider catcher soon is that I have just this morning seen an ENORMOUS spider prowling about my living room. I really don’t like sharing my flat with him, even though he means me no harm. Once you have seen one spider there will be more, the next few weeks will bring many such monster spiders into my home, and I want to be prepared!
Catching these spiders is hard. One method I use is to put a glass or jug over the spider, and then slide a piece of paper underneath so you can trap the spider and let it go outside. The problem with this method though is that sometimes the spiders are too big to fit under a glass. Also, they move so fast, they can be gone before you get a chance to catch them, and finally, I don’t really like getting so close to them in the attempt to get them! The spider catcher seems like the perfect solution. I wouldn’t want to harm the spider, it isn’t its fault I’m scared, but I’d prefer not to have them running around all over the place either! That’s why I really, really want a spider catcher of my own. It sounds like the perfect solution for fearful me, facing a potential parade of spiders stomping about when I’m all alone watching a horror film on tally at night as autumn draws in!
