AS-B Angelina 12054 25th,Nov. Practice prompt 4 for 2nd Monthly Test Life without Internet
The moment Selena reached down and unplugged the ether-net cable from her computer, she felt like school was out for the summer holiday, and the simultaneous relief and boredom that last bell brought. She sat quietly for a while, and soon realized that she had been anticipating this moment for ages, but for some limitations of her job, she had not made any plans: she was employed in a private consulting company; she got millions of emails from boss and her clients; even an hour without Internet would cause a lot of troubles for her.
