Dear Amy, I hope
this
 letter finds you well. I am so incredibly sorry for not having been in touch recently. Life has been a bit hectic. I am writing
this
 letter in reply to your previous letter asking for my ideas about the electric gadget. As you may still remember, I said that I was fascinated by the latest
Sony
speaker
 when it was released.
Finally
, after getting
this
 year’s bonus, I went to David Jones to purchase it. You can imagine how thrilled I am now. The
Sony
speaker
 really needs to buy.
First
 of all, it can connect with two devices at the same time through BlueTooth, which is extremely convenient, so you don’t need to switch manually when you would like to play via different devices.
In addition
, as the creators used the new technology to minimize the noise, the sound they play is quite clear and natural. I always browse and do research about electric gadgets. I believe that it is genuinely wealth to buy the new headphones which were produced by
Sony
 as well. It has a noise cancelling function, which not only increases your concentration skills but
also
 helps you to keep a clear mind. As the
Sony
speaker
 is a little bit expensive, I think the Google
speaker
 is another option for you. I hope my suggestions are useful for you. Drop me a line to tell me your ideas about several electric devices. Best wishes, Nina
