VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S / W]

Writing exercise

Basically everyday before I go out, I curl my hair using the curling iron at home, as my hair is rough. It’s a habit that has been going on since college. I have a useful curling iron, but today morning I wanted to use the one I don’t use frequently. I turned on the power and pressed the switch, and then I found the power light didn’t on. At that moment, I started to think why and didn’t do anything. After about half a minute, it began smoking. I pulled it off quickly but unfortunately, it was still broken. Afterwards I suddenly realized that it’s a curling iron made in Japan and it’s not a global voltage. My poor curling iron only used a few days in Japan.
