My mother gave it to me so we can communicate with each other when I am at school or when she is at work. I actually did not use it much because I did not text or call anybody except my mother. But as time goes on, mobile phones help me a lot to communicate with my peers and use different social platforms.

Short Description: A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events. Personal Insight: I tried to read newspapers because my grandparents bought newspapers everyday to be updated to the latest news and gossips.
