Hi again, could you please feed back to my second essay?
Thanks. Q - ) Some items (such as clothes or furniture) can be made by hand or by machine. Which do you prefer — items made by hand or items made by machine? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice.
Nowadays, the technology affects the humankind in effective way. A variety of sectors benefit from the advantages of the technology. These sectors have produced cheaper items so fast by using the cutting edge technology. On the other hand, this fast-production triggers a big problem. It is useless productions. In addition, if you use handmade products such as clothes or furniture, they will be unique and special unlike mass-produced ones.
The most important reason why I prefer handmade items is that they are unique, and anyone can't find the handmade items you have. So it means they are special to you. For instance, I have a handmade carpet, it is gifted by my best friend, Ali, at my birthday party. I know it is special and every time when I’ve looked at this carpet I’ve remembered my birthday and my best friend, Ali. It helps me to avoid my problems in a stressful day. On the other hand, they are very expensive because of handwork, despite of the uniqueness. They, at least, are two times more expensive than mass-produced items, however I think they worth this price. The most important reason why I don’t prefer items made by machine is that they are useless and they are not sturdy. I have really bad exprience with this situation. In last winter, I went to a shop to buy a jacket, and I bought one of the jackets in the shop. Two days later, really ridiculous event happened to me. In the classroom I rised my hand up and then my jacket was ripped. Everyone in the classroom laughed at me. I don’t want to have such a bad experience anymore. All things considered, in spite of the fact that handmade products are very expensive, I prefer handwork items because of their sturdiness and usefulness.
