Why did you choose those places? Do they represent something important to you or is it just a place you were in?

Yes, all these things are presenting a lot of important things to me and due to which, they aren't just places for me. So now let's have a look at some of the reasons behind these places which I have selected:

1. My House:

• The first place I have selected is my house and as we know, our houses holds a great significance in our lives. This is because, it is a place where we live, but we not only live there as a lot of memories, moments and emotions are linked to it.

2. Hamza Medical Store:

• It is basically my uncle's medical store where I'm working since the last six years. Also, most of my time spend there in the sailing and purchasing of medicine. Due to which, that is a work place for me and it is very important as well.

3. Inayat Fruit & vegetables shop:

• It is a shop near my house and I'm seeing Mr inayat the owner of that shop selling fruits and vegetables on daily basis. He has spend his whole life in running his business and we always busy fruits and vegetables from him.

4. Petrol Pump:

• The fourth place which I have selected is the petrol pump which is located on the main road of our village. That fuel pump is selling best quality petrol and diesel to us since the past few years. Due to these reasons I have selected it.

In your opinion, is it important to know how to use a GPS? Why?

Yes in my opinion, in that era it very much important for a person to have a knowledge of using GPS. This is because, we are living in an era of modern technology where the technology has become a very integral part of our lives as it make a lot of things easier for us and make us more productive. So the use of GPS has a lot of advantages especially while traveling. So let's have a look at some of the advantages of using GPS:

• The GPS makes the navigation easier and convenience because we can trace and go to the unfamiliar locations very easily.

• With the help of GPS we can chose the safest and fastest routine and can each at our destination within a shorter interval of time.

• The GPS is very useful for Uber, careem and other online taxi services because the drivers can find the passengers very easily.

• The GPS is also very useful during emergencies because it provides a route towards the nearest hospital Incase of accidents.

• Also, the GPS guide us to find our destination especially when we are traveling to different unknown places.

Now that you know how to use a GPS, in what circumstances do you plan to use it?

Yes, I'm completely aware of the use of GPS because I have used it several times especially when I'm traveling to different places. By the way, in the following circumstances I would like to get some assistance from the GPS:

• When I have to go towards any of the unknown location, I will use GPS to locate that location to get rid of any problem.

• I will use it to find the traffic on different roads and then I will chose those routes with less traffic to reach my destination easily.

• I will use it in emergency especially when I have to find a fuel pump, hospital and other place as soon as possible.

• Also, I will use it to check that whether I'm going on the correct route or not and in case of mistake, I will find any route with the help of GPS.
