1.1 Вступительное слово преподавателя.

Teacher: Good morning, dear friends! Welcome to English class. I am glad to inform you that today we have guests in our classroom. They are the teachers of English from different cities and different parts of our republic. And for you, my dear colleges, I'd like to introduce the students of the technical department of the College of Statistics, Informatics and Computer Sciences. They are the future programmer analysts, the specialists in the field of computer technology and computer environment. So, I think they will try to show you all the best. I wish everybody comfortable atmosphere and creative work.

1.2 Введение в тему.

T: So, let's start! As our lesson is devoted to the computer world, let me say just a few words about computers and my attitude to it.

Well, whether we realize or not or whether you like it or not, but comps play a very important role in our life. For millions of people it is the main source of information and the cheapest form of communication with the whole world. It gives an opportunity to people to travel all over the world, to make new friends, to chat with them. It also has the power to educate people. With the help of distance learning and videoconferencing people get an education, expand there outlook, know many new things. But for somebody it may be a kind of relaxation: people run away from everyday problems playing computer games or using virtual reality.

You, my dear friends, are the future specialists who will be closely connected with the world of computers, Hi-technologies, modern machines and multimedia, so, I think, the topic of our lesson is useful and urgent for you.

Well, you are the future programmer analysts. Do you agree with me that English is very important in your future job. Why do you think so? (Предполагаемые ответы студентов: Because English is used by many computer programs; many Internet sites are written in English; much information in comps is written in English; the names of computer parts, the graphical user interface are English.)

Okay, I see that you are good supporters of English and I'm deeply convinced that if you learn English hard and successful, you will be successful in your future career.

The internet is without doubt one of the most important inventions in history. It was dated in a 1968 by the US government, but at first it was used mainly by scientists. Since 1990, when the World Wide Web was rated, it has changed the world, and its users are growing everyday.

The Internet is a network (several networks, in fact) of millions of computers around the world, connected by phone lines, satellite or cable, so that all the computers on the net can exchange information with each other.

The Internet links computers, and the World Wide Web is a system which links the information stored inside these computers.

A company or organization stores its information in electronic documents on one of the internet computers, somewhere in the world. This computer space – the company's web site – has an address, in the same way that every telephone has a number. To visit a web site, you simply enter the address. Your computer is connected to the web site, a document is downloaded, and a page appears on your computer screen.

When you visit a web site looking for information, some words on the page may be underlined, showing that there is more information about the subject in another document. If you click on one of these words, the Web automatically connects your computer to a new document or web site, even if this is stored thousands of kilometers away. You're surfing the net!

You can also use the Internet to read newspapers and magazines, play games, plan your holiday or buy things from your favorite shop. E-mail makes it possible to send electronic messages anywhere in the world in seconds, and you can use the Internet to chat with people and make new friends.
