Yesterday I went out with my friend after I finished my course to buy a new computer but we didn’t know where it was so we asked the security guard of the building but he didn't know the shop so we went to ask a porter of a building he told us that the shop we are asking about is somehow far and it is better to take a taxi but we weren't late so we decided to walk ,while we were walking we meet an announcer who asked us to make an interview with us ,we agreed she asked us about our job I told her that I am a teacher and my friend is a pilot.
she asked us about the people who are helping us in our jobs.
my friend told her that the host is very important for him because in case of any thing wrong happens she calm down the passengers.

But while we have been interviewed, some thing wrong happened with the light so the cameraman couldn't see the view well.
So the director stopped the interview and told us that they couldn't complete the interview because there is something wrong with the electricity and they need the electrician to fix it, so we left.

While we were walking we noticed that all shops are having sales so we decided to buy some clothes when we entered a sales man met us and helped us to buy all things we need after we finished we went to the cashier to give him the money when we went out I was so happy.

Then my friend told me that he is very hungry and so was I.

So we went to a Restaurant which was famous for their Italian chiefs when the waiter came we gave him the order,
there were two men behind us who were talking in a loud voice we knew from their speech that one of them is a lawyer and the other one may be a policeman or a judge.

My friend couldn't stand the loud voice any more so we went to another table far from the first one.
That's better! Said my friend.
Then I asked him why do you need to buy another computer.
He told me that this computer wasn't for him it is for his cousin who is an author and he need the computer which will help him so much in his work he also thought that computer would make him not in need of a typist or a translator.

I asked my friend if this was his basic work he told me for now yes but before this he was a professor in the faculty of engineering.
I told him I think it is so interesting to have two careers, he agreed with me he told me that he met a lot of actress ,composers, and singers in his cousin's house while we were having our conversation we found the manager of the restaurant coming to us to apologizes about being late.

We told him that wasn't a big problem while we were having our meal one of the customers fainted.
Fortunately, there was a doctor and a nurse in the restaurant who helped him until he regained his consciousness again.
We were all happy that this man recovered his consciousness again ,we finished our meal then we left.

Few meters on the right side we found the computer shop where we entered the shop owner met us then a computer programmer showed us how we could set up our computer.
We thanked him then we took the computer and went out ,we stood on the street for half an hour in order to find a taxi at last a taxi driver agreed to give us a left, when we reached my friend's cousin house the house keeper told us that Mr. Ali went to an oculest…, so my friend told me that he has to wait for his cousin but I told him that for me I couldn't wait because I have to go to the green grocer and the baker to buy some stuff for my mum so I left my friend and bought every thing for my mum then I went to my hairdresser to had my hair cut.
when I arrived home I had my supper with my father who work's as an ambassador and my elder brother who's as a photographer after we finished our supper I went to sleep because I was so tired.
