A friend wishes to purchase a gift for his brother who is graduating from college.

He has enough money

to purchase a new cell phone or a gift voucher for an experince such as horseback riding,a hot air-ballon
ride,etc.He is of two minds and has asked for your advice as to which one he should choose.Compare
the two options and explain which choice you think is better.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

I want to start with the purchase of a new cell phone.Generally speaking I think that it could be a
good graduating gift.Firstly, it is a thing that your brother can use for a longer period of time.This
advantage leads me to a disadvantage.A cell phone is also a thing that can easily ruined.For instance he
can drop the phone by mistake or forget it somewhere.Also you have to take in consideration that he
might not like the brand,model or color of the phone.

As for the other option, buying a voucher for an experince such as horseback riding or a hot air
balloon ride could be more satisfying and memorable. For example you can use this opportunity to buy
yourself too a voucher and go with him.The greatest advantage of this deal is that you can bond and
make a lot of new memories together.It would be much better than him going alone to one of this
experiences.Or it could be even better and you could have your parents present too.

I understand why you are at two minds because both are good choices. But if I were you ,after
taking into account all the advantages and disadvantages of each choice ,I would chose the voucher for
an unique experience along with the invaluabe memories that would be made.
