Male Female

Recently, when I was preparing for my GMAT exam, I was having an online class and focusing on the computer. However, my mind diverted toward a sound coming from outside. When I stood up to go and look into it, I accidentally touched my computer, which then fell down and completely broke into pieces. I was so anxious and couldn't understand how it happened. I was very frustrated because it was my own computer, which I bought myself. I consulted my friend, who is a software engineer and works at a company that repairs computers. He suggested I bring it to him, and he would repair it for me. I felt relief after that, and then I went to him to have it repaired for my use.
