Describing a vehicle Describe a vehicle you would like to buy in the future. You should say
what kind of vehicle it is
what you would use it for
and why you would like to buy it. If I had the money, I’d like to buy my own helicopter. I recently saw a TV
programme about someone who flew around in his own helicopter, and I
remember thinking that it would be great to have one. The helicopter on the
programme was a small, blue, two-seater and it seemed quite easy to fly -
that's the kind of thing I'd like to buy. Ideally, I’d use my helicopter instead of a
car. First, I’d need to learn to fly it, but then I’d use it to go on short trips or
holidays. It would be fantastic to be able to avoid traffic jams, and get
everywhere in a fraction of the time it normally takes. I’d take friends and
family sightseeing, over cities or mountain tops, and maybe I could even use it
to do the shopping! The reason I’d like to buy a helicopter is that you can park
one almost anywhere. You don’t need to find a runway or an airport like you
would for a plane. So I’d be able to park my helicopter in my garden - if I had a
bigger garden. Also, I’ve always been intrigued by those helipads on the tops of
tall buildings - I think it would be fun to land on top of a building. A helicopter
probably isn’t a realistic choice of vehicle, but you never know - I might win the
lottery!
