Here is a sample answer for the speaking task:
a) The device my family bought recently was a new laptop. We bought it two weeks ago because we needed it for studying and working at home. When we brought it home, we set it up, plugged it in and installed the necessary programs. At first, it was a little difficult to operate, so we studied the manual. Now it has made our life easier because we can work faster and search for information online. We use it every day.
