I. Introduction

The rapid development of Science and Technology has changed the world. In recent years computers have been used in all fields of human activities: business, industry, education, culture, health care service, economics, politics, mass media, arts, in everyday life of different people. At the present time people have to keep step with the times and not to be lost in the world of information. So computers are becoming of great importance for most adults and youth.

Nowadays more and more people use computers at work and at home. They can not tear themselves away from their computers. Especially children and teenagers are hooked on them. They like to play computer games and spend hours with educational programs. More and more kids can improve their reading, writing and arithmetic when they operate the computer. Many students study school subjects on it. They say computers make leaning fun!

 II. Computers

Do you know a computer’s parts and software? Here are some of them.

Read and learn the parts of a computer.

1. System Block – системний блок

2. Display- монітор

3. Software – програмне забезпечення

4. Mouse - мишка

5. Keyboard - клавіатура

6. Hard Disc Driver – жорсткий диск (вінчестер)

7. Floppy Disc - діскета

8. Warranty – гарантійна зобов’язаність

9. Mouse pad – килимок для мишки

More then 8 – excellent job

6 – 8 – good job

Les then 6 - try again. Good luck!

III. The Desktop

Let’s look at our computers’ displays. Can you see the Desktop?

What is located on the Desktop?

Desktop – рабочий стол

My Documents – мои документы

My Computer – мой компьютер

Recycle Bin – корзина

Taskbar – панель задач

Folder - папка

File – файл, документ

We can save on the Desktop our own folders and files.

The My Documents folder is your own personal folder in which you can store your documents, graphics, and other personal files. When there is more than one person using the computer, Windows creates a My Documents folder for each user on the computer. By default, the target or actual location of the My Computer folder is C: / Documents and Settings / user name / My Documents, where C is the drive in which Windows are installed. You can change the target if you want My Documents to point to a different folder location.

• to store

• to use

• user

• by default

• target

• to be installed

The My Computer folder is also located on the desktop. It contains resources of your Personal Computer (PC): Discs (3, 5 {A :}, {C :}, {D :}, etc.) the Control Panel, and Printers.

The Recycle Bin provides a safety net when deleting files or folders. When you delete any of these items from your hard disc, Windows places it in the Recycle Bin and the Recycle Bin icon changes from empty to full. Items deleted from a floppy disc or a network drive are permanently deleted and are not sent to the Recycle Bin. Items in the Recycle Bin remain there until you decide to permanently delete them from you computer. These items stiff take up hard disc space and can be undeleted or restored back to their original location. When it fills up, Windows automatically cleans out enough space in the Recycle Bin to accommodate the most recently deleted files and folders. If you are running low on hard disc space, always remember to empty the Recycle Bin.

Taskbar is a panel where Start, English / Russian and Time buttons are located. The Start button allows users to access their computer. We begin and finish working on the computer pushing the Start. English / Russian button is a pointer of the current alphabet. When we operate the computer we don’t need to look at our watch or clock the Time button shows us what time it is.

• Taskbar – панель задач

• Settings – установки

• Find – поиск

• Help – справка

• Run – испонение

• Shut down – завершение работы

How to Create a Folder

Creating folders, also called directories, helps you to organize your files. For example, you might want to make a folder called “Job Search” to store your resume, cover letters, references and other documents.

STEP 1: Locate and select the place where you want to create your new folder. You may create your new folder on the desktop. If you want to put it inside the My Documents folder, then first open My Documents.

STEP 2: Open the File menu, and then click on New.

STEP 3: Click Folder. A new unnamed folder icon will appear.

STEP 4: Name your new folder by typing the name in the text box provided.

IV. Робота з текстом.

Read the text and try to explain how you understand the terms “HARDWARE and SOFTWARE”

HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE

The units that are visible in any computer are the physical components of a data processing system, or hardware. Thus, the input, storage, processing and control devices are hardware. Not visible is the software — the set of computer programs, procedures, and associated documentation that make possible the effective operation of the computer system. Software programs are of two types: systems software and applications software.

Systems software are the programs designed to control the operation of a computer system. They do not solve specific problems. They are written to assist people in the use of the computer system by performing tasks, such as controlling all of the operations required, to move data into and out of a computer and all of the steps in executing an application program. The person who prepares systems software is referred to as a systems programmer. Systems programmers are highly trained specialists and important members of the architectural team.

Applications software are the programs written to solve specific problems (applications), such as payroll, inventory control, and investment analysis. The word program usually refers to an application program, and the word programmer is usually a person who prepares applications software.

Firmware is a term that is commonly used to describe certain programs that are stored in ROM. Firmware often refers to a sequence of instructions (software) that is substituted for hardware. For example, in an instance where cost is more important than performance, the computer system architect might decide not to use special electronic circuits (hardware) to multiply two numbers, but instead write instructions (software) to cause the machine to accomplish the same function by repeated use of circuits already designed to perform addition.

Often programs, particularly systems software, are stored in an area of memory not used for applications software. These protected programs are stored in an area of memory called read-only memory (ROM), which can be read from but not written on.

2. Answer the question using the information given in the text:

1. What is hardware?

2. Give the definition of software.

3. What are the types of software?

4. What are systems software?

5. What kind of tasks do systems software perform?

6. Who prepares systems software?

7. What are applications software?

8. What problems do applications software solve?

9. What is firmware?

10. How can a computer system architect use firmware?
