We had one class for computers when I was in school, which was also introduced new in school and all the students did not attend it. I took it because I had free period and was interested in taking it. In those days we could not image that computers will become so important in our lives otherwise most of the students would have joined the computer class.

Computers are beneficial for almost anyone and the present generation is growing in an atmosphere(氛围) where you need the computers for doing almost everything .If they are not made computer literate(精通) they will lag behind in all the activities. Nowadays almost all schools have some kind of computer courses for the students so that they learn the fundamentals of the computer. It will not be possible to do it if they don’t have computer classes. Most of the homes have personal computers now and most children are already aware of the basics before they join school.

Computing courses are also good for adults who are not familiar with the computer as most of the jobs which are available today have the use of computer in some way or the other. Adults who have not used the computer before are generally quite anxious, but an easy computing course will be able to change the way they think in a few weeks.

If you are interested, you can join a computing course which is longer and teaches you more than the basics, but you may have to spend more time in the completing course. They are very useful courses as it teaches you ways to use the fundamental programs which are typically used in various jobs.

It is also possible you may like to do the computing course for enjoyment as some of the classes are also free .There are courses which charge a fee for skills like graphic design and photo editing . They are a lot of fun too and may also be useful when you do a job , depending on the kind of career ,someone you choose or have . You will find these courses in the colleges, as well as online, if you already are familiar with the use of computer.

One day while Lu Ban and his younger sister were visiting the West Lake in Hangzhou,they were caught in a sudden heavy rain and had to turn back."What a pity," thought sister Lu.

When they got home,she told her brother,"You are the best craftsman around here,trot I will make a bet with you.Let's see who can invent something that will let people enjoy the scenery even in the rain."

Lu Ban laughed."All right." he said,"But there must be a time limit.Three days?"

"No,just one night.We start tonight and stop at the first cook's crow."

Lu Ban was surprised,"All right,it's a bet."

When it turned dark,Lu Ban started building a pavilion (亭子) at the lakeside.Under the pavilion,people would be able to enjoy the scenery,even in wet weather.When he finished,he went home and looked through the window of his sister's workshop.All was quiet inside.

Lu Ban went back and built another pavilion,then another,and still another.He built nine and started working on the tenth,but before he could finish,he heard a cock crowing,so he stopped.

Soon the sun rose.As he stood by one of the pavilions wondering what his sister had done,Lu Ban saw something coming towards him,something like the roof of a pavilion.Under it was his sister.

As she came nearer。Lu Ban saw that she was holding a bamboo pole(竹竿) which had something round and flat(平的)at one end and covered with silk of many colors.

“What a useful thing! How clever!” he cried out,examining his sister’s invention.

Sister Lu smiled.“Mine can only be used by a single person, while yours can he used by many at the same time.What’s more,it was your design that gave me the idea.The scenery looks so much nicer with your pavilions.”
