What electronic devices should these people buy? 
e .g . If I were you, I would buy an e-book reader.
You don’t need to carry your books with you.
1) I like books, but they take up too much space.
2) I want to listen to music while I’m walking to school.
3) I want to make a film of my granny’s 90th birthday.
4) I love watching films on television. But I want 
a really clear and high-quality picture.
5) My mum is always getting lost in her car.
6) My laptop is a bit old, and quite heavy.
