My smartphone is really convenient. I never leave home without it. I use it everyday to make phone
calls and send text messages. But it can do much more. When I'm driving, I use it as a GPS and I
never get lost. I just enter the address of the place that I want to get to, tap the phone and that's it!
The app tells me when to turn left or right or go straight ahead.
It's also really helpful when I'm travelling. I can use it to take pictures and even book hotels. And I
have a weather app. So if I want to go to the beach, I can check the weather before. I also use my
smartphone for entertainment. For example, I can read ebooks and watch videos on it. If I'm on the
train or just lying in bed, I often search for interesting videos with my YouTube app.
So, what else? Oh yes... I keep a lot of important information in the device like phone numbers,
emails, and even bank details. Basically, I can't live without my smartphone.
