In what conditions would it be difficult for you to use a computer?
Well, I can figure out several situations. The first one is when I am using public transport. When I am on a bus, there is nowhere to place my computer except on my lap. However, my poor eyesight does not allow me to be able to look at a screen from a far distance, and I feel that the heat emitted from my computer kind of burns my lap. So I choose to use my phone instead when I am on a bus. Another situation is when there is a thunderstorm. My mom always turns off our home power and forbids us from using our phones and computers when there is heavy rain with thunder because she is afraid of the possibility of lightning striking our house.
Evening time
Do you like the morning or evening?
I’m definitely a night owl. I’m currently living with my parents, and they wake up early and make a lot of noise in the morning, but they also go to sleep early too, so in the evening my house is tranquil. Since I like peace and quiet, I prefer evenings over mornings.
What do you usually do in the evening?
I do not really like going out, so after work, I stay at home and find something interesting to do on my phone, whether that is watching YouTube videos, scrolling through my Facebook wall, or reading web novels. I think I am pretty addicted to my phone. Then at about 1 am, I do my night skincare routine and go to bed.
What did you do in the evening when you were little? Why?
Before I turned twelve, my parents could not afford to buy electronic media equipment like televisions, computers, and smartphones, and neither did most of the parents of the neighbor kids. I live in a dead-end alley with quite a spacious street and almost no vehicles passing by, so after dinner, the kids around my age and I gathered up in the street and played some traditional folk games, such as jumping rope, “cat chases mouse” and “blind man’s buff”. However, once we got a television, I started to spend more time watching cartoons and movies, rather than playing outside.
