In 2019, I had a new ukulele for myself. It is made from wood, and also light blue. It’s like a mini guitar. I use it to play my favorite song or learn about musical instruments to enjoy my free time. I searched for the first ukulele that appeared in Hawaii in the eighteenth century.  My best friend told me about the ukulele, she bought it first and when I saw it I really liked it because I’m a person who likes to listen to music and sing along to songs. So, I decided to save money in 2018 to buy it as a gift for myself. After I celebrated the Tet holiday in Vietnam in 2019, finally I had enough money to buy it. I called my friend and wanted her to go with me to the store to bring it home. The ukulele is something that connects me to music more than before, and also helps me understand more about musical symbols and musical notes, etc. Ukulele is important to me because I never like or love anything more than this. It also gives me the patience to wait a year to buy it.
