understand the words and
word combinations in bold type and give their Russian equivalents.
A computer is an electronic device
that stores information and allows changes in it through the use of (1) instructions. A
modern computer is capable
of doing various tasks, like (2) word processing and (3) accounting. Personal computers (PCs) are
widely used but working on them requires some techniques.
After turning on the computer a
(4) PC user should (5) log into the (16) network by entering their (7) user name and (8)
password. Allow some
time for the (9) operation system to (10) load. Soon you'll see a (11) menu (or icons) on the monitor
screen. With the help of the mouse or the keyboard choose the needed icon and start the
programme. The programme
allows the user to type texts, draw objects and (12) diagrams. While drawing one can (13) shape, (14) move, (15) transform, (16) copy and (17) fill objects. When
creating texts we (18) format, (19) edit and copy them. Both drawings and texts can be (20)
saved or (21) deleted. If you have a printer, you can (22) print the information displayed on the screen. Don't forget to save your
(23) file onto your (24) hard disk and (25) back it up onto the flash drive

images on the computer screen. The user can move around the programme by (26) clicking on
different parts of

the form of a text and diagrams, or as an animated cartoon.
Computers give us (27) access to
the Internet — an international computer network connecting other networks and computers from companies, universities or individuals
etc. You can spend a lot of your free time (28) surfing the Internet and get all sorts of
information from it. You can enter the (29) chat room with other Internet users and debate urgent
problems (30) on
line. If you are connectable by (31) e-mail (have an e-mail address), you can correspond with your
friends or open your own (32) web page (web site) and place there information about yourself.
