A. Useful Expressions.
 Can I help you? or “May I help you?” is what a salesperson normally says to greet a customer.
 I’m looking for a here means “I don’t know exactly which one I want.”
 Size medium. Clothing usually comes in small, medium and large sizes. Some women’s clothing
comes in number sizes, usually ranging from 2 to 16.
 Let’s see… An expression used when a person wants to think something over to make a
choice or decision, or to look for something.
 I’d rather have it in here means “I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a different
color/size/material,” etc.
 Would you like to…? is a polite way to ask “Do you want to…?”
 Try it on means to test the fit or appearance of a garment by putting it on. “Try on” is a
separable phrasal verb, so the object “it” goes between “try” and “on.”
 How much is it? means “How much does it cost?” Notice that the main sentence stress
falls on “is” in this question.

supported. If you are not using the Korean language version of Microsoft office, then this feature
is only available if you have installed Microsoft Office XP proofing tools for Korean or Microsoft
office XP multilingual user interface pack, which is available through a volume licensing
agreement.

SURVEY : WHY DO PEOPLE GO BACK TO SCHOOL ?


Our survey this week asks people why they continue their education, sometimes
years after they have completed high school or graduated from college. Answers
unanimously suggest that the changing workplace and job security are key factors.

Henry Lopez, High School Employment Counselor.


At one time, taking a class or two after school or after work
depended on a person’s personal motivation or interest. Today we
see a change in purpose. It seems that more and more people are
going back to school because they’ve lost a job or for job security.
A lot of people hate the idea of two additional years-or more- of
school, but what are they going to do ? They want to get ahead-and
stay ahead. I tell students when they walk out the door that they are
not finished with their education.

Ann Lin, Nurse


I’m not really worried about my job. Almost everybody in the
medical profession is safe these days. But I do worry about keeping
up-to-date and about getting a promotion. So I take a class once in
a while to keep myself informed of new medical developments and

25
add new skills to my resume. It’s very important. I think people in
general need to continue their education to stay employed.

Jason Waldbaum, College Student


I go to a community college-you know, a two-year program- and
I’m studying computer technology. I think it’s important for
everybody to get training, especially in computers. As for me, I’d
like to be a system analyst. But already I feel the need for an
additional two years of classes at four-year university. Then, I’ll
have a B.A. and it will look better on my resume. I think there is a
lot of competition in the workplace, and I want to be ready.

Gloria Graham, Retiree


I’ve never considered going back to school. I used to work, but I’m
retired now, so I don’t have to worry about staying on top of things.
But I guess if I had to do it again, I’d go find a place where I could
get some computer training. We’re coming into a technological
age-
Well, we are already, aren’t we ?- and if you don’t adapt, you’ll be
left behind. From what I read, the most jobs seem to be available
in health care and computers. I’d try to get one of those.

Grant Tilton, Unemployed Airline Mechanic


I lost my job two years ago, and I couldn’t find anything else in
that field. I needed to do something because I have a family to
support. So I decided the only way to be qualified for a different
job was to go back to school-in my case, in computer technology.
That’s what I tell everybody. It’s not easy and it’s expensive, but I
don’t have much choice.

26
Kristine Olson, Dean , CaliforniaCommunity College
We see a lot of changes in the job market and, consequently, in
people’s attitude about education. Many jobs are changing or no
longer exist because companies are thinking the way they do
business. They have automated their factories and do not need
many of their current employees. The key is training- or retraining,
actually- to find a job in a new area. Anything in the medical
profession is hot-or in computers.

Answer the following questions :


1. Mention two reasons why people consider going back to school !
2. Which person gives advice to the students ?
3. Suppose you were Gloria Graham, what are you going to do ?
4. Do you think that it is important to continue your study ?
5. How do people in your country compare these interviewees above ?
6. What do you think of Grant Tilton ?
7. What does Kristine Olson say about the reason why people go back to school ?
8. What skill do we need in facing globalization era ?
9. Do you think that your skill is enough to find a new job ?
10. If your skill is not enough, what are you going to do next ?

D. Assignment: ask the students to make the composition about their reasons to continue the
study. Give them 15-25 minutes to do it while the lecturer has to check about their problems in
writing because they must be guided patiently so that they have an ability to tell about their family
first before they will make their opinion about other topics.

E. Practice. Ask the students to speak or tell about their reasons to continue the study one by
one so that they will be brave to do anything in speaking. They must tell more details.

F. Close. The lecturer gives their opinion about the students’ speaking about their study so that
the students will be able to speak better and directly later. The lecturer always has to give the
motivation.

MULTIMEDIA

Multimedia is as collection of ways by which communication can be done. Hence


multimedia can be visualized as a fusion of different modes of media. Multimedia systems
combine a variety of information sources into a variety of applications. Multimedia requires great
processing power to implement software codes, multimedia file systems and corresponding file
formats.
Multimedia operating system should support new data types, real time scheduling and fast
interrupt processing. Storage and memory requirements include very high capacity, fast access
times and high transfer rates.
We also need new object oriented, user friendly software development tools, as well as
tools for retrieval and data management. When multiple sources of media are played back in real
time, either locally or in a distributed environment, it can be difficult to maintain the temporal
relationships among the media streams, but it is required for coherent playback.
A multiple system consists of three major components ; multimedia hardware for video
and audio, an operating system for graphical user interface and software development and

30
delivery tools supporting multimedia data. An ideal multimedia system should be capable of
transmitting real-time video and audio across a LAN or digital telephone network.
MPEG ( Motion Picture Expert Group ) is an International Standard for the
compression of digital audio and video transmission. MPEG is chartered by the ISO to
standardize a coded representation of video and audio suitable for digital storage media, such as
compact disk-read only memory (CDROM), Digital Audio Tape (DAT) etc. The various
audio compression techniques offer different levels of complexity, compressed audio quality and
amount of data compression.
The main components of multimedia are text, graphics, sound, and animation. Text is
an integral part of any multimedia production and used to add emphasis to presentations.
Graphics can be in the form of illustration, charts, maps, pictures, images, etc. Sound is in the
form of voice, music, or special effects. Animation can be used to explain complex subject that
are yet to become reality.
Tools and Accessories of Multimedia are sound, drawing softwares, video, scanning,
animation softwares, non-linear editing, authoring. Drawing softwarescan create the graphics
ranging from simple squares and circles to complex images ( thesoftwares are Corel Draw, Adobe
Photoshop, Paint Brush on Ms.Windows, etc).
Video Capture Board goes inside the computer and enables the user to capture the video
from the video camera. Scanning is to scan over an image such as photo, drawing logo, etc,
converting it into an image and this image (such as adding, removing color, filtering) can be seen
on the screen.
Animation softwares; there are many animation softwares packages available that can
be used to create 2d and 3d animations. We can use Animation studio, animator pro, GIF
animator, 3d studio max, etc. non-Linear editing, importing of audio and its integration with video
is a very simple feature of these softwares. The softwares available is Adobe premiere, media
suite. Authoring is a tool which we will be able to interactively give any graphics or screens for
the user according to his choice; the softwares are Macromedia director, Multimedia tool book
from Asymnestris, etc.

F A C E B O O K - A BILLION DOLLAR IDEA

What would you do if you had one million dollars ? Would you buy a house ? Would you
travel around the world ? What if you had even more money ? What would you do with one
billion dollars ? One billion dollars is a million dollars a thousand times! That’s a lot of money.
Would you ever down a billion dollars ? Mark Zuckerberg did.
Mark Zuckeberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an immensely popular social
networking website that started in the United States. Mark was a college student at
HarverdUniversity in Cambridge, Massachusetts when he founded the website in 2004. The now
world famous website was started from Mark’s dorm room. When Mark started the site, its
membership was restricted to only Harvard students. Its popularity increased and soon other
schools in the northeastern United States were included. Now, millions of student users visit daily
and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide ! Now,
at only 23 years of age, Mark has had a chance to do what so many people will never have the
opportunity to do – he is CEO of his own company.
College students, and now high school student, use Facebook to communicate with
friends, exchange information, and share pictures. Users don’t have to pay any money to create
their profiles. All revenue is generated via advertising.

44
Many other companies have been rumored to be interested in purchasing Facebook. Just
a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel who was the
CEO of Yahoo ! Terry offered Mark one billion dollars to sell Facebook to Yahoo ! Mark said
no though and is still the owner and CEO. Mark stands behind his original intentions. He’s been
quoted that he knows the value of the company could decrease. However, he claims he’s in this
to build something incredible, not be bought out by another company.
Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger
companies, like Microsoft, want a stake of the company. Some private investment firms are also
interested. Facebook could sell for over 15 billion dollars if Mark ever decides to sell it at all.
Perharps Mark will just keep working from his Palo Alto, California office in the heart of Silicon
Valley, where he moved after dropping out of HarverdUniversity to pursue his dream of building
something cool.

1. Who was the founder of Facebook ?

7. Did Mark want to sell Facebook to other companies ?
8. How many dollars did Terry offer Mark to buy Facebook ?
9. Who can use Facebook ?
10. Which website do you like best ?

C. Assignment: ask the students to make the composition about their reasons why the facebook
which they always use in their life one by one. Give them 15-25 minutes to do it while the
lecturer has to check about their problems in writing because they must be guided patiently
so that they have an ability to tell about their family first before they will make their opinion

OPERATING SYSTEMS

Read this dialogue and answer the following questions


Student : What is an application program ?
Programmer : An applications program is designed to manipulate data rather than govern the
operation of the computer
Student : Is there a program that governs the computer’s operations ?
Programmer : Yes, there is a group of programs called the operating system. With older
computer, a computer operator was responsible for taking care of many duties :
setting switches on the computer, loading the correct translator, putting data cards
in the card reader, and so on. While these duties were being performed, the
expensive computer was idle.
Student : Didn’t that waste money ?
Programmer: It certainly did. The operating system was designed to reduce the need for
human activity and to allow the computer to perform these activities at electronic
speeds.
Student : What programs make up the operating system ?
Programmer: The major ones are the supervisor, translator, and utility programs.
Student : What do they do ?
Programmer: The supervisor program is the most important part of the operating system
because it provides overall control of the computer system. There are two types

57
of translator : compilers, which we have already discussed, and assembler.
Student : The compiler translates a high-level language into machine language, right ?
Programmer : Correct. And the assembler translates symbolic language into machine language.
Student : What does the utility program do ?
Programmer :Utility programs perform jobs commonly required in most data processing
systems, such as sorting and copying. The operating systems are supplied by the
computer manufacturer and are usually machine dependent
Student : Are there any other techniques being used to improve computer efficiency ?
Programmer : Multiprogramming makes it possible to run more than one program at a time.
The CPU can perform calculations on one program while other programs are
using the input and output devices. This makes for greater throughput.
Student : and the data base is the centralized collection of data.
Programmer : The data base management system is a group of programs that maintains the
data base. If you are beginning to get confused, the system flow-cart will show
how the data flows from one component of the system to another.
Student : Thank you very much. That’s very helpful

Fill in the blanks with the proper terms from the list :

Application program supervisor program


Assembler system flowcart
