Sometimes I hate computers! Once, when I was trying to do my English homework on


my laptop, the battery ran out. I was lying on my bed and I was listening to music on
Spotify. It helps me to concentrate. I was also chatting to my friend Daniel on
Facebook. OK, so I wasn’t concentrating very hard on my homework and I forgot to
plug in my laptop!I didn’t notice that the battery was getting low. I was just finishing
the essay when the screen went black. I lost everything. I screamed in frustration. My
dad came running into my bedroom. I came almost crying so he gave me his laptop. I
tried to remember everything in my essay – it was quite difficult especially because
Daniel was sending me lots of funny videos. Anyway, while I was watching one, the
WiFi stopped working. In the end it was probably better because I managed to finish
the essay
