01font01i00The computer, the 01u00caretaker 02u00of my studies, lies over the flat table at the other side of my desk. Although it serves as a machine but in my weak spellings and grammar, it works like a 01u00life saver02u00. Usually my long sentences and paragraph’s final revision is done by it. A heavy monitor is lying on the top with gray protected shield and 02i02font01i00some sack of books and a cd stand beside it02i00. Just below I see my easy-to-press keyboard carrying the soft sound keys on it. Two audio speaker’s stands at each side of monitor like 01u00high trees surround the valley. 02u00The fast-pace mouse is firmly stays [verb is appropriate?] on the top of the black sponge pad, next to the keyboard. Down on the shelf stands the 01u00nerve center,02u00 the central control processing unit with its complicated integrated system. In front of table, I see a small frail stool resting on my bright carpet’s outer rim.00 02br
