Lisa : To be honest, I don’t agree with you.
Yuni : Why? Nowadays we can’t imagine our life without them. They are
our brain.
Lisa : Don’t forget computers are dangerous to our health. The monitors
are harmful for eyesight. Moreover working with computers for a
long time can cause epilepsy.
Yuni : Ok, tell me, please, how you can watch movies, listen to the music,
play games without computers?
Lisa : It’s the main threat. Because of this you can be computer addict.
Moreover teenagers have access to pornography and bloody
games.
Yuni : So, do you want to say that I should write two essays?
Lisa : No, just write down pros and cons of computer in one essay while
comparing them
Yuni : Good idea! Thank you very much!
Lisa : You’re welcome

C. Reading
Activity 7: Read the text carefully.
Computers are machines that can help us in many ways. But they cannot
think or done things on their own. Humans have to feed them with information
and tell them what to do with it. They cannot come up with any new information.
But they can save much time and work. For example, all the information and the
office files can be stored in a computer's "memory". If a clerk were to trace any
information from a particular file, the computer would only take seconds to find
it. It would take a clerk days or even weeks to go through every file if no
computers were used.
The first computers were huge and costly. They filled up almost the whole
floor of large offices. Later, because of the usefulness and demand for computers
in business, scientists soon found ways to produce cheaper and smaller computers.
They invented chips which made it possible to store more information in less
space.
Today, computers are not only cheaper, but also more compact. They can just
be placed on top of an ordinary writing table. They can even be carried from place
to place easily. Computers are not only used in offices by companies, but they are
also used at home, by families who can afford them.
Robots, on the other hand, are not mechanical people. They are only moving
parts controlled by a computer. A robot can do the same work for twenty four
hours, and yet, it does not complain or get tired. In the United States robots are
computers that tell them where to guard and what to do. These robots are
programmed to listen for certain noises and signals for help in case of trouble or
danger.

2. Countable/Uncountable Nouns
Examples:
1. Computers are machines that can help us in many ways
2. Computer can save much time and work
O Countable Nouns
Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a
singular and a plural form. The singular form can use the determiner "a" or
"an". If you want to ask about the quantity of a countable noun, you ask
"How many?" combined with the plural countable noun.
Singular Plural
One computer Two computers
A monitor Three monitors
One sim-card Four sim-cards
One cable Two cables
An optimal drive Three optimal drives
O Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers.
They may be the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical
objects that are too small or too amorphous to be counted (liquids,
powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb.
They usually do not have a plural form.
For example:
1. Computer can save much time and work
2. Computer needs electricity as the power supply.

I can’t believe it! I (1)_____ my disk on key! It has all my work for the

part is that for three weeks, I’ve been working on a history project with other

I live in a small town in Scotland and there wasn’t anyone around who would
teach me. I looked round the (8) __________ and found a (9)________ for
learning languages online. The program had both (10)________ and audio,

the same as being there in person, but I quite liked it even so I’m planning to
travel to China next (12)__________ to try out what I learned.

surprised that Gillian would do something like that because she’s an (22)
_______ student. Gillian said that there was name next to the articles so she
thought it was fine to (23)________ it. A lot of the other students thought
Gillian was right, but Mr. Frost said it was just as bad as (24)________your

the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the word began to take on its
more familiar meaning, a machine that carries out computations.
In the beginning, computers were as big as a large room. It is only later that
they have become smaller and smaller, accessible to anyone. This has given way
to personal computers. Later developers created new applications to help users
perform many things from word processing to image editing. A large scale of
programs, some free and others costly, have opened new horizons in information
technology.
Now computers have noticeable impact on social relations. They have enabled
entirely new forms of social interaction, activities, and organizing. With the
Internet, working with computers has become part of our daily lives thanks to its
basic features such as widespread usability and access. In addition to face

may encounter are issues with the computer freezing and appearances of the
infamous "No Boot" or "Blue Screen of Death." To repair a computer, you'll
need to troubleshoot the issue and determine if the fix is something you can
perform yourself; for more complicated problems, however, consider seeking the
help of a professional.
One of the most common problems is when the computer turns on but
does not boot the OS, or shows a Blue Screen of Death at startup. This happens
because no power. If your computer does not power on at all, the most likely
culprits are either power supply (desktop only) or motherboard. Make sure the
connectors are plugged in properly, and the switch on the back of the power
supply is turned on. Sometimes no boot or blue screen. If your computer has
power (you see lights, hear fans spinning), but nothing on the screen, or if the
computer starts to boot up and then crashes with a 'blue screen', there are several
possible issues.
Any hardware changes must be done while computer is completely
powered down and unplugged / battery removed. Therefore, there are some steps
you should take. The first one is Try Safe Mode - if your computer will boot into
Safe Mode, it is a software related issue. The second is Test Screen - If you hear
the computer running, but see nothing on the screen, try swapping monitors or
plugging in an external monitor for laptops. The third is Test RAM - try
carefully removing the ram and powering on. Most computers, when functioning
properly, will give a long, repeating 'memory error' beep. Power off and replace
