My car is bloken
- Hi! How are you?
- I'm fine, thank you, and you?
- Not bad except my car is broken. The battery is over and the car doesn’t start. I tried to switch on the engine, but it didn't work. My car is new and there is the guarantee for every breakdown. The problem is that during the quarantine mechanics are closed. Everything is close. But I really need my car because I have to go to work.
I tried to call the autoassistance service, but they told me that they could make only the emergency start and then I had to drive my car to a mechanic. Mmmm…. Ok, I can do the emergency start by myself and I don’t need any help for it. Actually I already did it a few days ago because I had to bring the car from work to my home, but after two days the battery got over once again.
There is nothing to do. I have to wait one week, make the emergency start once again and drive to mechanic.
Meanwhile, I'm using the service car of my company when it’s free or I’m asking my husband or colleagues to take me at work. This way is very uncomfortable, first because everyone organizes their day in their own way, second because I depend too much on other people and at the last we have to justify all our journeys because of quarantine and when my colleagues come to pick me up they must do it.

*Many nouns in English also use the same verb. Using the verb is nearly always more elegant.

The situation seems easier at the moment. The next Monday will be open some more activities, however, we will have to wear mask and justify our moving. The important fact is that the number of hospitalized patients is decreasing every day. I hope the approximate normality is close.
