So let's start by continuing with Section 3...
What do people use the Internet for?
I think Section 3 is OK... Let's move on, we have a lot to study today!
Too bad, James! See you next time!
CD-ROM
is before DVD
So how about the words below ...
Where is the stress in the word: telephone?
CD-ROM is in the computer
The last one: transmission
Good job on the pronunciation!
Let's move on to learn some new words...
Let's start with people who are "into" computers...
Yes, that's true. A mouse is a type of hardware.
But let's start with the people who are "into" computers
Can you find any words that you think might have this meaning?
Whenever we see "-phile" at the end of a word, it means "someone who likes"
For example, "bibliophile" is someone who likes books
"Cinophile" is someone who likes China
"Francophile" is someone who likes France
Those are all words that mean "people who like something"
That's the meaning of -phile,
My next question is: How have computers changed our lives?
Have they made our lives easier? More difficult?
What kind of problems do they cause?
Computers make our lives easier
We can use computers to pay bills, read the news, or send and receive emails.
"Some resources are free on the computer"
"It's more faster and more convenient to work with computers"
"I can play games, read novels, watch films, or chat with my friends during my free time."
So no need to put "and" or "or" before each item in a series.
Don't forget your comparative adjectives!
Faster, better, more efficient, stronger, more powerful...
Computers have definitely made life more convenient than before. We can pay bills, talk to friend and family, and find information much much faster than before.
Let's continue on to Section 8!
Does anyoen remember what "infinitive" means?
动词不定式
An "imperative" is an order to do something.
Remember to pay the bill every month
Don't talk for too long
(It can also be an instruction)
alarm system = 警报系统
Try to keep it closed to protect your screen.
Which device is sentence 1 talking about?
An alarm system? A cell phone? A laptop computer?
So those are the two parts of the homework!
Practice the imperative and infinitive in Section 8
Make sure to... Be sure not to.... Try to... Try not to.... Remember to..... Don't forget to...
Tomorrow we will start Lesson 8!
A familiar topic... "Holidays and Festivals"
