beginner
a: how often do you use the internet?
B; I use it almost every day, but I usually only use it to check my email.
I don’t often surf the net. You use the internet a lot, don’t you?
A: yes. I use it to find products and components at the lowest price for my
computer. It can be frustrating when the connection is poor.
B: so , you’re online eight hours a day.
A: yes, I like the job though. Sometimes, I help other people in the office
if they’re having trouble online.
B; how useful do you think the internet is as a source of infomp3ation?
A; I think it’s fairly useful, but there are two big problems. First, a lot
of the infomp3ation you find online is false. Second, when you buy something
online, you don’t see it until you actually get it.
B; how do you solve the website problems when you’re buying something
online?
A: what I do is find the website of shops. Then someone from our company
visits the shop and buys when they’re seen that the products are genuine and
suitable.
Intemp3ediate
A; hi! I see you are having fun with your new computer and internet
connection.
B: there’s so much I want to do. I’ve just finished sending lots of emails
to friends and family all over the world. I just ran a search for music to
download.
A; I can give you the name of a few useful website to visit.
B: thanks. That would be very helpful. I’ve discovered that it can take a
long time to find exactly what you want. There’s too much infomp3ation on the
net.
A; when you sent your emails, did you attach any files to them?
B; yes, I did. There’s an anti-virus progmp3me with my email account that
scans all attachments, so I’m sure I haven’t sent anything nasty to anyone.
A; when you use the internet, be careful not to give out your email address
very often. If you do, you might get a lot of spam-unwanted email fomp3
companies trying to sell you things.
B: that’s good advice. I should also be careful about giving out
confidential infomp3ation about myself, such as my password and credit car
number.
A: that’s right. Another thing to remember when you are surfing is that you
can add a web page to your list of favourites. Your computer will remember the
page and you can return there quickly next time you want to visit.
B: how do I do that?
A; take this web page for example. Press the keys “control” and “d”
together. Click on “favourites” at the top of the screen. There you are. It has
been added to you favourites list. If you click it, you will automatically go to
that web page again.
B: that’s useful to know. Thanks. I’ll just log off and shout down my
computer and we can go for a coffee. |
