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:
