雅思口语P2 Describe a time that you saved money for something(文字版）

I’ll tell you about my first car. I bought it a couple of years ago. I had decided to buy a car about six months before I actually had it. I wanted to buy a car because where I was studying seemed quite far away and getting on buses everyday was a bit bothersome. At that time, I was also working part-time in a local restaurant at nights and sometimes we used to finish working quite late and getting a bus to my house was a problem. apparently, I couldn’t afford a new car, but I started to save as much money each week as I could. I even took on an extra part-time job at the weekends which helped me to save even more money in a quite efficient way. I stopped going out so much and was very careful with the money I spent on other things while I was saving. After about six months, I realized I had enough to think about buying it. In the end, I finally bought a used car from a man who lived quite close to me. It was an old car, but it was in good condition as he had looked after it well. He had been the only owner of the car since it was new, so this made me feel confident that it would be a perfect buy. Not surprisingly, I was very excited after buying it and spent all my spare time driving around visiting places or taking my friends out for trips. It was great to be able to go anywhere, anytime without having to worry about buses or taxis again.
