Last Sunday the air conditions in my bedroom was broken when we slept deeply, after a while I waked up because it was too hot to sleep. The service of AC company is good and the repair man come to my home next day after I called the consumer number. I think I couldn’t live without AC in summer and I have 5 air conditions in my home. But when I was child almost no family had an AC and even few of them had an electric fan. In those summers, many people went out and sat beside roads after supper because they sweltered in room.

Last Sunday the air conditioner in my bedroom was broken while we were sleeping deeply , after a while I woke up because it was too hot to sleep. The service of the AC company was good and the repair man came to my home the next day after I called the customer service number. I don’t think I could live without AC in summer so I have 5 air conditioners in my home. When I was a child almost no one had an AC but some did have an electric fan. During summer in those days, many people went out and sat beside the road after supper because they sweltered / were sweltering inside.

When I was a kid absolutely no one had AC, but even though some people had fans, the number was really few.
