If my house was burning.

If my hose was burning the first thing I would do is to take the most important things for me.

For example, the first thing I would take is my phone, because this is the most important material thing for me and there I have all my music, photos, videos, contacts etc…

If I had more time I would try to take all my clothes because is a necessary thing for me and I think that for everyone, and if I wouldn’t take the clothes I would have to buy it all again. Also I would take my football boots because they cost some money and I need it to play football evidently.

And also if I could I would take my Ps4 because I use so much and I entertain a lot playing it.
