Sample answer to describe a thing you cannot live without except cell phone or computer
without a doubt, the one thing I can’t live without, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, is my bike. It’s not just a mode of transport; it’s my lifeline in this bustling city. I’ve had it for about five years now, and I can confidently say it’s been through thick and thin with me. If I hadn’t invested in a reliable bike back then, I’d have struggled to get around, given how chaotic the traffic here can be.
What makes my bike indispensable is its sheer convenience. It helps me zip through traffic jams, which are an everyday occurrence in Ho Chi Minh City. Plus, parking a bike is a breeze compared to finding a spot for a car. I also love the sense of freedom it gives me—I can just hop on and head anywhere without relying on public transport schedules.
There was one time my bike broke down, and it had to be repaired. That week felt like a nightmare. I had to depend on buses, which were not only crowded but also super slow. If it hadn’t been fixed quickly, I’d have fallen behind on so many errands.
I think I cherish my bike so much because it’s more than just a vehicle; it’s a part of my daily life. I’ve grown so attached to it that I make sure it’s well-maintained and always ready to go. In a way, my bike is like my partner in crime, helping me navigate the urban jungle that is Ho Chi Minh City.
