Question

Essay on a Day Without Electricty

Answer 1

    I woke up in the morning in bed on last Sunday as the steadily rotating fan halted and I started sweating.  I turned my head to check the switch and understood that the power supply was off.  I walked in bath room to brush up.  The water was cold.  I switched on the heater and let it on, in the hope that electricity will come back.

    I could not have toasted bread, dosa and hot chocolate as the electric stove is not on.  I finished my bath with cold water, as quickly as I could.  Then I got ready and went out to have breakfast.  I sat on the sofa and thought of what I could do the  rest of the day.

   Normally, I would have watched the TV for some time, but it was off.  I used the headphone and radio on my cell phone to listen to music for some time.  When I had enough of it, I went off to complete my assignments.  It was dark without the lights, so I opened the windows and drew the curtains aside.  I opened the door into the balcony.  I worked on my study table and completed the engineering, maths and Science assignments.  There remained my English, Russian and French tasks.

  I went to a garden in my house and sat there for a while.  Then I wanted to water the plants.  But the electric motor wouldn't turn on.  I mowed the lawns and then returned to the living room.  I told my my father that an inverter is essential.  He said he had just ordered one.

   We went out for the lunch, as we could not cook.  The mixer and the oven did not work.  The inside of the refrigerator was getting warmer.  But, we couldn't do much.  We returned later in the afternoon.  I could not work on the computer either, as it was off.  Normally, I would play some games for some time and then work on some sites. 

   I inquired if there was power supply at my friends house.  I had gone there to watch the cricket match.   When it finished, I returned home.  Still, there was no electricity.  We brought two emergency lamps in to the living room and all of us sat there for the rest of the evening.  We discussed a lot of things relating to all of us.

   I went to the nearby restaurant to bring some snacks for the evening for all of us.  We took our dinner and retired to our bed rooms. We switched off all the lights and gadgets in the living room and the hall.  I sat in the balcony on a chair and relaxed.  I enjoyed the cool breeze touching my face and hands from time to time.

   After two hours in the night I was getting sleep.  So I lied down on the bed and kept the fan switch on.  I slept off and woke up next morning but with the fan rotating. I liked it so much at the instant.  With renewed energy I got up and got myself ready for breakfast and school.
