电脑坏了吗?
昨天晚上,我在家。我在用电脑写作业。

朋友很快就到了。他看了看电脑,然后笑了。
他说:”电脑没坏。是电的问题。”
我看了看。真的!电脑的线没有插好。
我说:”对不起,谢谢你!”

那天晚上,我慢慢地写完了作业。
Is the Computer Broken?
Last night, I was at home. I was using my computer to do homework.
Suddenly, the computer stopped working. I was very anxious. My homework was inside the computer! I had to turn it in tomorrow!
I called my friend. My friend said: “Don’t be afraid, I’m coming.”
My friend arrived very quickly. He looked at the computer, then smiled.
He said: “The computer isn’t broken. It’s an electrical problem.”
I took a look. It was true! The computer’s cord wasn’t plugged in properly.
I said: “Sorry, thank you!”
My friend said: “No problem!”
That night, I slowly finished my homework.
