Okay. Today I would like to talk about the time I helped my grandfather fix his computer when I was in secondary school. I was still a secondary school student at the time. I still lived under the same roof with my grandparents because my middle school was close to the house. I've always been interested in technology because my dad, who is the closest one to me in the family, has a passion for technology and digital devices. One time during the summer, my parents went on a business trip together. So I had to stay with my grandparents. During that time, my grandparents wanted me to borrow my laptop to write an email to his university professor, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time. And um, my grandpa struggled right from the beginning. He thought he didn't know how to turn the laptop on because he had never used it before. So he called me for help. Then I decided to stick around for a bit longer to support him all the way. Then he realized his eyesight prevented him from seeing the keyboard clearly. So I was the one who typed the entire email while he was reading his message out loud. Needless to say, he was really pleased. And even bought me my favorite book back then. Now I have moved out and I try to visit my grandparents regularly. I would definitely visit them on special holidays and spend more time with them.
