II. Основной этап.  As we see computers play the  important  role in our life.

There are many computer applications in the modern world. Let’s consider some of       them. Our students  have prepared the  presentation «Computers in our life» You can see it on the screen. Listen to the students’ reports very attentively and be ready to answer the questions.    

 Показ слайдов  «Computers in our life» (Выступления студентов)

1. Computers quickly entered into our  life. They have changed our lives for the better. The modern computing machines present one of the most achievements of human thought, that is why  it’s difficult to imagine  our  life without this clever machine.(cлайд1)

 2. Today we almost  use PCs  in every office, in every house, in every  school, on airplanes, etc. The user of the computer can be a writer and an artist, a doctor and an engineer, a musician and a teacher. It is the universal tool which is capable to help everyone. ( cлайд 2)

 3. Computers  in manufacturing

 Numerous  factories use computers to control machines that make products. A computer turns on and off  and adjusts their operations when necessary. Without computers, it would be impossible for engineers to perform the enormous number of calculations needed to solve many technological problems.

Architectural and civil engineers use the computers  in designing complicated bridges, official institutions, shopping centers and other structures. ( cлайд 3)

4. The robot

  The Robot is also controlled by the computer. The Robot is a mechanical device. It can carry out the work, which for people proves to be too heavy or even impossible, for instance, in conditions of strong fierce frost. Quite often one robot can change two workers at the plant. ( cлайд 4)

5. Computers  in research

  Computers help in the building of spacecraft, and they assist flight engineers in launching, controlling and tracking the vehicles. Computers also are used to develop equipment for exploring the moon and planets. Computers have been of tremendous help to researchers in the biological, physical and social sciences. Astronomers use computers to guide  telescopes  and to process photographic images of planets and other objects in space. ( cлайд 5)

6. Computers  in art

 Computers can be used to compose music, write poems and produce drawings and paintings. A work generated by a computer may resemble that a certain artist in birth style and form, or it may appear abstract оr random. Computers are also used in the study of the fine arts, particularly, literature. They have also been programmed to help scholars identify paintings and sculptures from ancient civilizations. (cлайд 6)

       7. Computers  in education

 There are many computer classes at our technical school. We can get basic computer skills for our future specialty there. We study some applications: Word 7.0, Excel 7.0, NetWare and others. At our computer lessons we print texts, draw graphs and electronic tables, create databases, translate texts, create new files and prepare projects. Our students like computer lessons very much because computers can do many lessons more interesting and convincing. (cлайд 7)

    8. Today computers can store huge amount of information on magnetic media and any item of this information can be obtained in a few milliseconds and displayed or printed for the user. We all use PCs to  make our life easier. (cлайд 8)

Now, students I want to know how well you listened to each other and ask you some questions.

     9.  Questions for general understanding

1. What  has changed our lives for the better?

2. Where do we use PCs?

3. Name a mechanical device?

4. Do computers  help in the building of spacecraft?

5. Why do our students like computer lessons ?

          6. Where can  computers store huge amount of information?  (cлайд 9)

10. Decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (F)? Correct  the wrong  sentences.

1. Without computers it would be impossible for engineers to perform the enormous number of calculations. (T)

2. Architectural and civil engineers can’t design complicated bridges

and other structures with the help of computers. (F)?

3. Computers have not been of tremendous help to researchers in the biological, physical and social sciences. (F)?

4. Computer  is the universal tool which isn’t capable to help everyone. (F)?

5. One robot can change two workers at the plant. (T)

6.  Computers can be used to compose music, write poems and produce drawings and     paintings. (T)

7. Today, computers are big, slow and can store little information on magnetic media. (F)?

 (cлайд 10)

Salesperson: Нow can I help you today?

Fernando: I am thinking of buying a laptop and I have  a few questions.

Salesperson: What would you like to know?

Fernando: A friend of mine recommended  buying a Lap-Pal 2000 I wondering about power compatibility. I’ll be taking this computer back to Argentina with me.

Salesperson: That’s not a problem. This laptop has a universal power adapter. You won’t need to buy anything extra.

Fernando: O’key. Does the package include modem and  DVD?

Salesperson: Yes, it does

Fernando: That’s good. Is this all software that’s included? .

Salesperson I think you’ll find that the software package is very versatile. But if you anticipate needing something specific, I am sure we can help you out.

Fernando: I’ll need something with more robust  capabilities for spreadsheets and databases.

Salesperson: Then I’d suggest moving up to the  Versa 2 package. It’s a little more sophisticated and it has enhanced printing  and expended memory.

Fernando: How much is this package?

Salesperson: Right now we’re running a promotion. You can get the Versa 2 software option for $79 over the base price.

Fernando: I see. Would you suggest purchasing an extended warranty?

Salesperson: Oh, yes. The package comes with a standard one – year warranty on parts and labor, but I’d recommend getting that extended option. It’s only an additional $259, and you can avoid paying for repairs during the first three years.

Fernando: Would you consider throwing in an extended warranty?

Salesperson: Well, at these low prices, I am afraid I can’t do that

Fernando: Mmm…O’key I’ll take it anyway, with the standard warranty.

Now we’ll write a test. Time is limit. I’ll give you 3 minutes. Your task is to choose the right answer.

    Работа над текстом «Computers  help  to control train traffic»

             (Чтение и перевод по цепочке S1,S2,S3,S4,S5 и т.д)

Now  let’s  read and translate the text. Before reading you are to pronounce the words and expressions. Listen to me and  repeat  after me. 

advice – советовать         railwayman – железнодорожник

automate train driving –         reduce – уменьшать

автоматическое управление         route – маршрут

поездом         movement – движение

choose – выбирать         railway lines – линии железных дорог

controller – диспетчер         traffic control – контроль движения

drive – вести (поезд, машину)         take over – принимать

traffic – движение; транспорт         train movement – движение поезда

gatherer – составитель (поездов)         speed – скорость         

interval – интервал         processing – обрабатывать

intensive – интенсивный         purpose – цель

improve – улучшать

exist – существовать

        An automatic train operation system is being developed in our country. It will make possible to control and regulate train traffic on all railways. This system is being formed on the basis of computer centers which exist on each of the country’s 32 railway lines.

The purpose of the traffic control system based on electronics is to make easier the work of traffic controllers who direct the movement of trains on the most intensive lines. The computer will give the controller the full information on the conditions on the lines, model all the processes on the route and advise him what he should do to improve the situation. The computer will advise the drivers with which speed they should drive trains on each sector of the route.

The computer system will help train gatherers in their work. It is only now, in the computer age, that it has become possible to choose the necessary variants of train formation automatically. The new method will double the speed of train processing and make the work of railwaymen easier.

In the future it is planned to automate train driving as well. The computer will take over driver's functions, making it possible to considerably reduce the intervals of train movement.
