- appearanceSunglasses and jewelry are all the rage for people of all ages. Sunglasses are not only fashionable
+ color but also practical as they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. With their portable and
+ cost
+ shape user-friendly design, they come in handy for outdoor activities and sunny days. Meanwhile, jewelry
+ purpose serves as a versatile accessory, allowing you to express your unique personality and preferences.
=> tinh tu
Whether it's a necklace or a pair of elegant earrings, these pieces are worth the investment as they
can enhance your look. Plus, there are budget-friendly options available, so you don't have to spend
a fortune to find stylish sunglasses or eye-catching jewelry that suits your taste.

However, it's important to keep track of your accessories to avoid losing them because it can be
really frustrating. You know, sometimes, I can be scatterbrained, and I misplace items around the
house. But I try to have a spot for everything and everything in its spot. I've found that taking a few
extra moments to put things back where they belong can ensure they don’t go missing. That was
also when I developed a habit of collecting things.

Collecting things has become second nature to me over the years. Whenever I come across
something unique or a limited edition, which is as rare as a hen's teeth, I can't help but buy it.
However, I've learned that not everything I collect is valuable, and some items end up gathering
dust on my shelves. Nonetheless, most items I collect bring back memories or hold sentimental
value, making the habit of collecting something I treasure. As a casual collector, I find joy in the
hunt for new additions to my collection.

Luyện tập 2: Nói lại đoạn miêu tả sau bằng cách sử dụng ngôn ngữ dự đoán

I've been dreaming about having a microwave in my home for quite some time now. It's such a
versatile appliance that would make my daily routine a lot more convenient. With a microwave, I can
quickly heat up leftovers or prepare simple meals in just a few minutes. Whenever I'm in a rush or
feeling too tired to cook a full meal, I can rely on the microwave to whip up something delicious in no
time. I can use it to make popcorn for movie nights with friends or to warm up a cup of soup on chilly
evenings. Additionally, having a microwave saves me a lot of hassle during busy mornings when I
need a quick breakfast before heading out the door. I can simply heat up oatmeal or make scrambled
eggs without having to dirty multiple pots and pans. Overall, having a microwave gives me more
flexibility in the kitchen. It's definitely a must-have appliance that I hope to get soon.
