My name is Gary and I’m a PHOTOGRAPHER. My specialty is taking pictures for fashion magazines. Not
surprisingly, the possession I couldn’t live without is my brand new DIGITAL CAMERA. Obviously, I use it for
taking photographs but it also records videos. Sometimes I use it to make short films – just for fun!
Hi, I’m Maria and I work for a local RADIO STATION I couldn’t live without my new CELL PHONE. The sound
quality is great so I can use it to call the station and report live on air. It’s also useful for calling my boyfriend. And,
since it’s an expensive phone, it’s also good to impress people!
I’m Steve and I’m a musician and SONGWRITER. I guess my favorite possession is my COMPUTER. Well, to be
exact, it’s a Cakewalk – a software I use to write music. It’s also great for adding instruments that I can’t play, like the
trumpet. I just play the trumpet part on my keyboard. It makes life a lot easier.
