Phong’s father: OK. What do you want-a laptop, a video game, an e-book reader, or a smartphone?
Phong: Wow. Dad. You`re so generous. My old mobile phone is still good. Um... the screen of an electronic book is rather small, so I think a laptop will be my choice.
Phong’s father: What a wise choice, Phong! A laptop has lots of benefits. It`s portable, so you can take it with you: it’s economical, so we don`t have to spend too much money; and it’s very versatile, as it can do many things.
Phong: When you were my age, you didn`t have a computer, did you?
