By today’s standards, my mobile phone is pretty basic. It’s a Nokia. It’s a small device that receives telephone calls and sends text messages. Other than that, my phone doesn’t do much. Most of my friends wish they had smartphones because they are cool and trendy. They say the best thing about a smartphone is that you ‘can do everything with it!’ That’s right, smartphones have many more functions than a simple phone, however, not all of them are needed. In everyday life, smartphones are used mainly for checking social networking sites, replying to emails, and playing games. Grown-ups as well as children like playing games. Anyway, I prefer my good old Nokia. It’s my first mobile phone. When I bought it, it didn’t cost me very much. And I am not afraid anyone will ever steal it. It’s also very reliable. Yesterday I dropped it. It flew down the staircase and hit the wall. I thought that was the end of it and I would have to buy a new one. But nothing of the kind – it still works properly!

Thousands of tourists visit Edinburgh every year. The capital of Scotland is famous for its history and architecture. It’s one of the cultural centres of the country. The main attraction of the city is Edinburgh Castle. It was built in the 12thcentury but it still looks magnificent and very impressive. There are many historic monuments in Edinburgh. One of them is an unusual monument to Walter Scott, a well-known writer. The city streets are usually full of noisy tourists with cameras but if you want a quiet holiday, you can have it too - the beautiful and peaceful countryside is just round the corner.
