What it was?
Well, it is well said there is nothing like free lunches but recently I had a wonderful experience when I received a Back-pack as a freebie while shopping at a store. Actually, last month I was at a shopping mall for some shopping. I wanted to buy a pair of shoes so without thinking twice I checked out my favourite brand store Adidas. As I entered the store person greeted me and probed to understand what exactly I am after. After that, he showed me a few pairs of sports shoes and to be very honest.

I wanted to buy all those as all were really tempting. Now the question was which one to buy. He told me about the discounts on various articles which were between 30% to 50%. Finally, I purchased the one in my favourite colour white with a comfortable sole and I paid Rs. 8000.

Who you received it from? and Where you received it?
At this time, the sales guy informed me that the company offers free backpacks to buyers who shop worth Rs. 7500 or more. I could not believe it as the bag itself was worth Rs. 2000 and I had to pay nothing for it.

Actually, I was in dire need of a backpack as I am a student and I use it on regular basis. My old bag was a bit torn off and needed to be replaced. In fact, it was super stylish with a massive logo of ADIDAS with a lock and a separate sleeve to keep Laptop that I had to carry in a separate bag otherwise.

And how you felt about it? and Conclusion:
I was so happy to receive such a useful item for free and I thanked the store person wholeheartedly. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I had of receiving something for free.

• I have received many free things in my life, but I would like to talk about a free coffee which I got on my birthday.
• When I visit Delhi or Chandigarh I love to visit Starbucks as I love their coffee.

What it was? and Who you received it from? and Where you received it? 

• During one of my first few visits, one of the salespersons in Starbucks told me to get a Starbucks Card as I am a regular coffee drinker.
• She told me that the card was free and there are some amazing perks for regular coffee drinkers.
• I was sceptical at first, as there is no Starbucks in my city and I was wondering how many times would I actually drink one.
• But after some persuasion by the salesgirl, I got one, nonetheless.
• One of the benefits was a free coffee during the birthday month.
• I didn’t know this.
• So, by chance, I visited a Starbucks in June, which is my birthday month.
• When I was about to pay, the salesperson asked me if I was due a free coffee because of my birthday month and should he make this order the free one.
• I wasn’t expecting it but more than that I didn’t ask for it, he offered it.
• I then inquired whether it could be any coffee and if I could make modifications like adding whip cream.
• When he said, I told them to make it a mocha and add whip cream.
• I normally don’t make these additions because their coffee is already very expensive.
• I thought there would be no better opportunity to try it.
• So, I went for it.

And how you felt about it?

• I really enjoyed the coffee.
• If I would have paid for it, it would have cost me around Rs 400.
• It wasn’t a big amount but it made me so happy like I had won a lottery.
• That day, I got a card made for my mother and my sister as well.
• However, then the salesperson told me that the free birthday month coffee is applicable only when we buy coffee worth Rs 5000 in a year.

Conclusion:

• I don’t think they will drink so much coffee, but I have already started looking forward to next June and the next free coffee.

Things for which we don’t have to pay have their own charm. Today, I’m going to talk about one such time when I got something for free.

I live in Dehradun. Last week I planned to go to Chandigarh to visit a close friend. She loves toffees and chocolates. Whenever I visit her, I buy some chocolates or a small present for her. But, this time I forgot to take anything for her.

On the way, the bus stopped for some time. I hurriedly got down and bought a box of chocolates. The journey was quite long, I was hungry too, so I took one bar from the box. When I unwrapped it, I saw a Domino’s Pizza coupon of 1000 INR. It was quite hard to believe first, but when I checked it thoroughly and called the given number, its validity was confirmed.

One can imagine how I would have felt. Certainly, I was more than happy. When I reached Chandigarh, my friend and I went to Domino’s. We used the coupon which I found in the bar. We ordered one big pizza, cold drinks and dessert – almost everything for free. We had to pay a small amount only. We enjoyed the meal and returned home. It became a memorable day for both of us.

Follow up Questions

1. Do you think people should pay for higher education? Why?

I believe that those who can afford must pay for higher education. There is no denying this conviction that higher education leads our lives towards an impressive growth trajectory. Therefore, it is highly imperative to pursue it at any cost.

However, those who do not have the funds to pursue higher education must get financial support from the government.

2. Is it good or bad for people to have a free education in the future?

Education is a fundamental right. It is intuitively true that only those nations experience holistic development which has the system to provide no education to the students. However, I firmly postulate that it should be made free for those sections of society who cannot afford it. Those who have the potential to pay should not burden the government by asking for free education. On the other hand, those who cannot afford it should get it for free.
