Today, most computer users buy, download, or share programs like Microsoft Word and Excel. 1_______. Most people see their computers as tools that help them do jobs, rather than complex electronic machines they have to pre-program – and that’s just as well, because most of us have better things to do than computer programming. 2_______. In other words, although we don’t really think of it this way, the computer can be reprogrammed as many times as you like. This is why programs are also called software. 3_______. By contrast, a computer’s hardware – the bits and pieces from which it is made (and the peripherals, like the mouse and printer, you plug into it) – is pretty much fixed when you buy it. 4_______. That computers can do so many different jobs is what makes them so useful – and that’s why millions of us can no longer live without them!

Milos: 1_______. I can get all the songs I like, when I want to get them.
Кamila: That’s true, but if you don’t pay for it, 2_______.
Milos: Really? Why is it against the law?
Кamila: Well, getting music for free costs the music industry billions in lost income, so we have less to spend on new bands and singers.
Milos: Was that the problem with Napster?
Кamila: Yes. Napster created a file-sharing system using the MP3 audio format. People could connect to a central location and others could then download their files using the server. Napster closed down in 2001 because it was breaking the law.
Milos: I see, but peer-to-peer music swapping is legal, isn’t it? It’s just two people sharing music – they’re not using a central server.
Кamila: No, it’s still 3_______, I’m afraid.
Milos: Actually, peer-to-peer isn’t that great – you don’t get much choice because it depends on who’s online at the same time as you. Can you download music legally?
Кamila: Yes, 4_______ that charge a fee. It’s really worth paying. The choice and quality of the music is better and they offer other services such as music reviews and chat rooms. Try one!

Information Technology (IT) is “the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware”. IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information, securely.
Recently it has become popular to broaden the term to explicitly include the field of electronic communication so that people tend to use the abbreviation ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

A computer is an electronic machine that processes information – in other words, an information processor: it takes in raw information (or data) at one end, stores it until it’s ready to work on it, chews and crunches it for a bit, then spits out the results at the other end. 1_______. Taking in information is called input, storing information is better known as memory, chewing information is also known as processing, and spitting out results is called output.
Your keyboard and mouse, for example, are just input units – ways of getting information into your computer that it can process. 2_______. Your computer probably stores all your documents and files on a hard-drive: a huge magnetic memory. But smaller, computer-based devices like digital cameras and cellphones use other kinds of storage such as flash memory cards. As for output, your computer almost certainly has a screen and probably also stereo loudspeakers. 3_______. Your computer’s processor (sometimes known as the central processing unit) is a microchip buried deep inside. 4_______. That’s why your computer has a little fan blowing away – to stop its brain from overheating!

1_______,
I am writing following a recent visit to the Oldbury Sports Centre. 2_______.
Although they were generally polite and helpful, the members of staff seemed to lack basic sports knowledge. None of them could offer any advice to me on choosing a squash racket. I suggest you send your employees on suitable training courses.
3_______. I understand that repairs need to be carried out. However, when I called for information the day before my visit, the receptionist did not mention that the pool was closed. If I had known, I would have visited the sports centre at another time.
Finally, offering lessons in different sports is a good idea, but I found them to be very expensive. The prices should be lower, and more sports should be offered. I was disappointed that windsurfing was not available.
I hope you will take these points into consideration.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your delivery of dresses which were ordered on Nov. 4, 2000. However we wish to draw your attention to two matters.
1. Concerning the red dresses supplied: one lot of 100 (size 12) included clothes of a lighter red colour than the other sizes. We are returning them, and would ask you to replace the whole lot by 100 dresses (size 12) in the correct colour.
2. As far as your charges for air freight are concerned, we agree to pay the extra costs which you invoiced. However your costs for packing and insurance must have been lower for air cargo, and we request you to take this fact into consideration and to make an adjustment to the invoice amount. 3_______.
We look forward to your dealing with these questions without delay.
