Invest one minute in brainstorming about this topic’s questions. If you’ve not read my advice on developing each answer in a proper way, please read the lesson on speaking.

PLUS, you can implement the idea of collocations in this answer. Here is the link to a truly useful article: Lessons in speaking – collocations.

You can talk about numerous things such as your laptop (need a new Apple laptop), smartphone (it is too slow), house (it is too old, needs repair), furniture (it is termite infested). Let me talk about the problem I actually face every day.

I’m a six feet tall man and the only thing I wish to replace is my bed. My dad built the teak wood, antique bed in 1970 and anyone who sees it appreciates its exquisite design and excellent material. (You need to develop a story to make a strong impression. If you’re not sure how to develop it, please read my article “lesson on speaking“.)

Though I love it since it has beautiful memories of my parents and my childhood, I wish to replace it because it does not serve the purpose. The main purpose of a bed is to allow a person to have a proper rest so that she can perform productively. This bed fails in fulfilling this task since its length is 5 feet 9 inches and I’m above 6 feet. Whenever I sleep on it, my legs hang in the air and this prevents my legs from eliminating all stresses. Moreover, this also breaks my sleep at least twice every night and I’m unable to perform optimally during the day. Recently, I visited a doctor for a regular checkup. She discovered that my blood pressure was high and, on deeper diagnosis, she attributed this to irritation resulting from lack of proper rest during the night.

If I purchase a bed more than 6 feet long, I’m sure my body will have proper rest.

Follow-up Questions:

– What are the effects of replacing items more frequently? I think replacing things too frequently has several impacts. It not only increases the waste generated by humans but also increased expenditure and puts an additional burden on a family.
– How can we encourage people to do it less often? Well, people need to learn the value of money and the need to save it while the sun shines. They should learn about things that really need to be replaced and things that can continue to serve our needs.
– How is economic growth related to people becoming wasteful? The modern capitalist system is built on the idea of consumption. The more people replace old things with new items, the more is the economic growth. However, along with growth, people need to keep the idea of sustainability in mind.
