I really want to buy a new smartphone. The latest smartphone has great features! It is a little expensive, though. Do you think it is a good idea to borrow money for me to buy it?
|
Do you really need a new smartphone right now? If not, I think it is not a good idea to borrow money for that. |
|
Not really. I just wanted to buy one because I heard it has better features than my smartphone now. What do you think should I do?
|
|
If you want, you can save money for you to buy that smartphone. You might not be able to buy it immediately, but at least you will not be in debt.
|
|
You have a point there. Starting tomorrow, I will save some of my allowance every day. I hope I could buy a new smartphone next month.
|
|
Don’t worry. I know you could do that. Just focus on your goal. |
