Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: The most expensive thing I have ever bought is a car.

Reason: Buying a car is a significant expense that requires careful consideration and planning. It involves not only the initial cost of the car but also ongoing expenses such as insurance, maintenance, and fuel.

Example: When I bought my car, I researched different models, compared prices, and negotiated with the dealership to get a fair deal. I also considered factors such as fuel efficiency, safety, and reliability to ensure that I was making a wise investment.

Alternative: Other expensive purchases that people may make include a house, a wedding, a college education, or a luxury item such as jewelry or a vacation.
