One Day Without Computers
Today, when I got up, I just turned on the computer as
usual, but it didn’t work.
Then I tried my brother’s PC, my parents’, even my dog’s,
but none of them worked. Later, it was reported on TV that all
of the computers in the world broke down today. So the world
is quite different. For instance, we can’t play games, watch
movies or do shopping at home. Besides, we can’t
communicate by sending e-mails or chatting online. Without
the help of computers, businessmen can’t place or cancel
orders online. Teachers can’t give lessons to their students.
What’s worse, robots controlled by computers can’t do
dangerous work for humans. Even the doctors can’t find the
diseases easily.
In short, we almost have trouble with everything without
computers today.
You can write it like this:
