Did you hear what happened to me last month? I was going to Spain on business at that time. After I had taken my bags out of the car, I realised that I had forgotten my passport at home. I found a phone and telephoned home in hope that my wife had not left for work yet. A minute passed but nobody answered I thought *She is not at home at the moment. She has already left*. Then I thought that my wife might be in the bathroom. When some seconds had passed my wife answered. I was right she was taking a shower while I telephoned. She quickly jumped in her car and brought me my passport to the airport. She arrived just in time.
<span>Computers: A blessing or a curse?
There aren’t many people who don’t know how to use computers these days.
Look in almost any home, classroom or office and you’ll probably spot a
computer.
It is true that computers can save a lot of space and time. Firstly,
computers help save a lot of paper and that’s good for the environment.
Secondly, computers save space in your house because they can do the job
of encyclopaedias and other books. Lastly computers help us learn and
allow us to stay in contact with people via e-mail.
On the other hand, the use of computers can lead to problems. To begin
with, computers can be bad for your eyes, especially as some children
may spend too much time playing computer games. Moreover, computers
don’t help children communicate with others. Instead, children spend
their time indoors sitting in front of a computer screen.
To sum up, computers have their good points and their bad points. </span>
