    Sarah watched a TV ad for a smartphone that caught her attention, as she was thinking of getting one. She ordered it based on how wonderful it sounded in the ad. However, she has since regretted it, as the phone seems to be broken - texts go to the wrong person, and the battery dies very quickly after charging. She is disappointed and hopes to get a refund.

    TV ADS
    BY SARAH STEVENS
    I was watching TV the other night, and – as usual – there
    were all those irritating advertisements in the middle of
    the movie, disturbing my concentration! Well, I don’t
    usually take any notice of the ads. In fact, I almost
    always turn the volume down when they’re on, because
    they’re so boring. But this time I’m not really sure what
    happened to me. One ad caught my attention. It was for a
    smartphone, 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 wonderful!
    Well, it arrived a few days later. It was super fast, and
    at first I was impressed. However, I really regret it now.
    I’m not at all happy with it, and I’m sure it’s broken. For
    example, I texted a friend yesterday, and the message
    went to the wrong person! That’s terrible – and it could
    be very embarrassing too. Another thing is, the battery
    doesn’t last for very long. I charged it a few hours ago,
    but it’s almost dead again already. It’s very disappointing and
    I hope they give me my money back.
