III. Getting to know the topic

T. Dear friends!

Welcome to the English courses for young console operators. As far as I know, you have been discussing the problems of computer science for about five years, and today, as a result of your work with your teacher of computer science, you’ll have an opportunity to use your knowledge in new situations.

IV. Work in groups

T. The man is the most extraordinary thing. Just imagine the number of inventions of the 20th century. Some people think that technology will save the world and make it better, some others think that technology will ruin the society because we are too dependent on electric and electronic gadgets and machines. Work in groups of about 3-4 persons. Choose a group leader.

The first group will write and name three things that you can hardly live without.

The second group will write and name three things that you can sacrifice without too much reluctance.

The third group will choose the three most useful modern inventions and say why people use them.

Children discuss and write down their ideas.

What gadgets and machines do people use?

 A camera, a microwave oven, a mobile telephone, an electronic game, a video recorder/player, a TV set, a vacuum cleaner, a videophone, a cordless phone, a talking alarm clock, a sewing machine, a computer, a solar powered calculator, a TV remote-control unit, a mower, a body building machine, a fax machine, roller blades, a dishwasher.

Why do people use them?

To cut and collect the grass, to build up one’s strength, to wash the dishes, to take photographs, to cook, defrost, reheat pre-cooked food, to receive or make calls around the home, to perform everyday cleaning tasks from vacuuming to cleaning up liquids, dust and waste and shampooing carpets,  to not only sew but also do embroidery (вышивать) and ppliqués and sew on buttons, to wake up people and to tell the time, to watch pre-recorded videos, to record a programme even when watching another on a different channel, to have fun and to entertain, to send and receive urgent messages, to operate a TV set from a distance,  to write programs, play games, find and use information,  to do calculations in sunlight or daylight.

T. There are some things we couldn’t live without. They are… (according to the list of pupils).

Some other things we consider useless. They are.,, (according to the list of pupils).

T. What thing most of you couldn’t live without?

50 years ago people didn’t even hear about computers, and today we cannot imagine life without them.

The computer revolution is changing our life and our language, too. We are constantly making up new words or giving new meanings to old ones.
