Essay#2: Description of my treasure

Many people have some accessories. Of course, I have many accessories; necklaces, earrings, ring and so on. Above all, a necklace in the shape of bear is the most precious thing for me. It is very pretty bear and it has many pink shiny stones. So my treasure is the necklace.

My boy friend gave me it at my last birthday. I had wanted it before my last birthday, and I had said that I want it once time. I said it only once time, but he remembered it. I really like pink and teddy bear, so the necklace is very fit for me. When I saw it first time in a shop, I thought that I’m sure to buy it. But it is so expensive for me, because it was Christian Dior products. I couldn’t buy it then, because I didn’t have enough money.

At my last birthday, I had had no idea to get a present from my boy friend. But, he had bought it for me in secret. When I got it, I was very happy, and I thought it is so pretty again. It must be expensive, and he always doesn’t have money. So I was sorry to him. However, I was so happy to get it. I’m thankful for him.

I really like the necklace and him, so it is my treasure. I always wear it without bath time. It has many shiny stones, so if I wash it, stones will be off. I don’t want to do so. I hold it valuable for long time.
