2. Sample IELTS Speaking Part 2 “Describe something you bought but was difficult to use at first”.
Two years ago, my HP laptop which I had been using for more than five years suddenly broke down during my final exam period. With my savings and help from my parents, I decided to purchase a MacBook Pro because of the rave reviews on multifarious trusted websites.
Like other laptops, this one has assisted me in my schoolwork and helped me wind down after long hours of arduous assignments. As a long-time, user of iPhone and iPad since day one, I could not wait to use this device since I wanted to fully experience all of Apple’s products. However, the transition from a Windows-based device to an iOS one caused me some difficulties at first. To begin with, the user interface, including the keyboard and taskbar, is almost completely different from the HP laptop, which made me perplexed about how to use this laptop smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, it sometimes shut down when I was using it for no reason at all.
It seemed as if this MacBook would always go against my will, which frustrated me greatly to the point that I wanted to sell it. Therefore, my initial user experience with my MacBook was quite awful. But the situation got much better because I read the user manual carefully and familiarized myself with the various functions of my MacBook. Now, all of my Apple devices are beautifully synced together, which gives me great comfort in working anywhere anytime.
