Well,, this is my second post and this post is used for my english task again. This time, I will tell you about my favorite item. Check this out.

Actually, I don't have a favorite item. But in this case, I can say that my mobile is my favorite item. I don't know why, but I can't calm down if my mobile wasn't in my pocket. I don't know why, but there's always an adverse event because I don't bring my mobile. I ever go home on foot because I can't call my sister to pick me. I was a very hot day when I walked to my house. However, I don't like to use an expensive mobile because it will be hard to keep it. I just like a simple mobile. And also, I always use my mobile all the time. I usually use it to send a message to my friends and make a joke with them. My mother usually angry because of my habit to use mobile when I drive my bike. That's because I can't calm down before I replay the message. Well, I was so lucky that I never have an accident because of my favorite item until now, and I wish it will never happen.

That is my second post about my favorite item. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for read my post.
