Describe something you bought but have not used very much.

You should say:

what it is,

when did you get it,

how did you get it,

and explain why you have not used it very much.

Well, this topic reminds me of a pair of shoes that I bought last year.At that time, when I was browsing the internet, an advertise popped up. Itintroduced the shoes of Nike. There are many pictures in which many beautifulmodels wear different kinds of Nike shoes. At the first sight, I liked thewhite one with a silver line in the back of the shoe. The words next to thepicture read that it is comfortable and light and suitable for running andclimbing. I was totally attracted by it, so I opened Taobao, an app for onlineshopping, to buy it. After several days, I received my shoes. However, when Ichecked it, I found there were some defects and when I wear it, I didn’t thinkit was comfortable. Even when I walk for a short time, I would feel tired. I wantedto request a refund, but unfortunately, I missed the deadline that I can refundthe shoes. Consequently, I keep this shoe until now, but I seldom wear it,unless I have no other shoes to wear.
