My mother was a responsible teacher and she retired.So I decided to give her one of my old computers to help her pass the time.She had a little bit of computer 1 ,so I just set it up for her and let her 2 with it on her own.
As time went on,I 3 the computer was hardly touched.She said she didn't know 4 to use it.I decided to teach her.I sat and 5 everything and she seemed OK with what I said.Unfortunately,my sister called me at that moment 6 we talked on the phone for an hour.Then when I saw her again,she was sitting in front of the computer,looking quite 7 .The screen saver(屏幕保护)had appeared and she didn't know how to 8 it off.She had tried 9 every key and it didn't work.I told her,"Just 10 the mouse a little." What I meant was that she just needed to move the mouse around to 11 the computer up.What she did was to 12 the mouse and start shaking it around in mid-air until the 13 went completely black.I couldn't help laughing because of her funny 14 .The more I laughed the 15 she got.
She thought that I was a(n) 16 teacher and she decided to figure the thing out herself.Well,at least I helped her overcome her 17 of breaking something and encouraged her to 18 a little.
About a week later,I found a home-made 19 card with a mouse on the front making a funny face 20 to my door.It said,"Thanks for the computer lessons.Love,Mom."
