 Josh usually dislikes the adverts he sees on TV. 

TV ADS 

I was watching TV the other night and as usual there were all those amazing advertisements in the middle of the film – which are sometimes better than the programme you’re watching! In fact, I’m usually quite influenced by the ads, and I quite often turn the volume up when they’re on, and make notes about what they’re selling – even if I know I can’t afford it! This time, though, I almost missed one ad completely. It was for a laptop, and I was actually thinking of getting one at the time. So anyway, I decided to go for it, and I ordered one. The advertisement made it sound so brilliant!  

  Well, it arrived a few days later, which was longer than I expected. The laptop was superfast, though, and I was really impressed. However, it hasn’t been easy to learn how to operate it. It uses a different system to my old one. But it’s better than my old one, and the battery takes less time to  charge too. It’s all very exciting and now I’m looking forward  to doing lots of creative things on it!
