Noa: What is the most useful household appliance that you have?
Eddy: That’s definitely the refrigerator.
Noa: When did you purchase it?
Eddy: I purchased it a year ago. Actually, my mom gave it to me as a wedding present.
Noa: Is it expensive?
Eddy: I don’t think it cost an arm and a leg.
Noa: Is it easy to use?
Eddy: Yes, it is pretty simple.
Noa: How does it work?
Eddy: That is pretty simple. You just have to plug the refrigerator into the power supply, set your desired temperature and you may now store your food to prevent spoilage and slow down the growth of harmful bacteria.
Noa: How often do you use it?
Eddy: I use it every day.
Noa: Will you replace it with a more modern one?
Eddy: No, because it was a present so it has sentimental value. In addition, it is still working well.
Noa: How has your life changed with that household appliance?
Eddy: It makes our life more convenient. We can save time as well.
Noa: Do you think that household appliances will make people lazier and lazier?
