In addition, ways to choose a suitable computer for your business are covered in this chapter. Objectives: Presenting vocabulary to describe computer structure; Reading paragraphs describing information in computers; Description of computer configurations in English. Living in the digital age We are now living in what some people call the digital age, meaning that computers have become an essential part of our lives.
Young people who have grown up with PCs and mobile phones are 5 often called the digital generation. Computers help students to perform mathematical operations and improve their maths skills. They are used to access the Internet, to do basic research, and to communicate with other students around the world. Teachers use projectors and interactive whiteboards to give presentations and teach sciences, history, or language courses.
PCs are also used for administrative purposes - schools use word processors to write letters, and databases to keep records of students 15 and teachers. A school website allows teachers to publish exercises for students to complete online. Students can also enroll for courses via the website and parents can download official reports. Mobiles let you make voice calls, send texts, 20 email people, and download logos, ringtones, or games.
With a built-in camera, you can send pictures and make video calls in face-to-face mode. New smartphones combine a telephone with web access, video, a games console, an MP3 player, a personal 25 digital assistant (PDA), and a GPS navigation system, all in one. In banks, computers store information about the money held by each customer and enable staff to access large databases and to carry out financial transactions at high speed. They also control the cashpoints, or ATMs 8 (automatic teller machines), which dispense money to customers by the use of a PIN-protected card.
People use a Chip and PIN card to pay for goods and services. Instead of using a signature to verify payments, customers are asked to enter a four-digit personal identification number (PIN), the same number used at cashpoints; this system makes transactions more secure. With online banking, clients can easily pay bills and transfer money from the comfort of their homes. Airline pilots use computers to help them control the plane.
For example, monitors display data about fuel consumption and weather conditions. In airport control towers, computers are used to manage radar systems and regulate air traffic. On the ground, airlines are connected to travel agencies B by computer. Travel agents use computers to find out about the availability of flights, prices, times, stopovers, and many other details.
Find the words (1-10) in the text above. Can you guess the meaning from context? Are they nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs? Write n, v, adj or adv next to each word. Match the words in D (1 -10) with the correct meanings (a-j). connected to the Internet.
collection of facts or figures. describes information that is recorded or broadcast using computers. program used for text manipulation. copy files from a server to your PC or mobile.
HELP BOX Verbs and nouns often go together in English to make set phrases, for example access the Internet. These word combinations are called collocations, and they are very common. Learning collocations instead of individual words can help you remember which verb to use with which noun. Here are some examples: perform operations, do research, make calls, send texts, display data, write letters, store information, complete exercises, carry out transactions.
Read the text and find out the meaning of the words (in bold) below: A computer is an electronic machine which can accept data in a certain form, process the data, and give the results of the processing in a specified format as information. First, data is fed into the computer's memory. Then, when the program is run, the computer performs a set of instructions and processes the data. Finally, we can see the results (the output) on the screen or in printed form.
A computer system consists of two parts: hardware and software. Hardware is any electronic or mechanical part you can see or touch. Software is a set of instructions, called a program, which tells the computer what to do. There are three basic hardware sections: the central processing unit (CPU), main memory and peripherals.
Perhaps the most influential component is the central processing unit. Its function is to execute program instructions and coordinate the activities of all the other units. In a way, it is the 'brain' of the computer. The main memory (a collection of RAM chips) holds the instructions and data which are being processed by the CPU.
Peripherals are the physical units attached to the computer. They include storage devices and input/ output devices. Storage devices (hard drives, DVD drives or flash drives) provide a permanent storage of both data and programs. Disk drives are used to read and write data on disks.
Input devices enable data to go into the computer's memory. 10 The most common input devices are the mouse and the keyboard. Output devices enable us to extract the finished product from the system. For example, the computer shows the output on the monitor or prints the results onto paper by means of a printer.
On the rear panel of the computer there are several ports into which we can plug a wide range of peripherals - a modem, a digital camera, a scanner, etc. They allow communication between the computer and the devices. Modem desktop PCs have USB ports and memory card readers on the front panel. Match these words from the text (1-9) with the correct meanings (a-i): 1.
the brain of the computer 2. physical parts that make up a 3. main memory computer system programs 4. hard drive (also known as which can be used on a hard disk) particular computer system 5.
the information which is 6. input presented to the computer 7. ports results produced by a computer 8. input devices attached to the 9.
central processing unit (CPU) CPU e. section that holds programs and data while they are executed or processed f. magnetic device used to store information sockets into which an external device may be connected 3. Inside the system A.
