COMPUTERS

A. They say, you have bought a computer?

B. Yes, now I have got my own computer.

A. That’s fine. And what type of a computer have you got?

B. The most common type, a digital one.

A. By the way, do you know what it means "a digital computer"?

В. It goes without saying. Digital computers deal with numbers. All data – pictures, sounds, symbols, and words are translated into numbers inside the computer.

A. Yes, you are right. Digital computers are so widespread that the word "computer" almost always refers to a digital computer. But there are 3 types of computers: digital, analog, and hybrid ...

B. Sorry for interrupting you. I do know about it. Analog computers work with a physical quantity, such as weight, speed, temperature. They solve problems by measuring a quantity in terms of another quantity. Do you understand it?

A. Yes, certainly, for example, they measure temperature in terms of the length of a thin line of liquid in a thermometer.

B. Good for you. And when are you going to buy a computer? You know so much about the computers.

A. You see, I haven’t got such a large amount of money.

B. Take it easy. You may use my computer.

A. Thanks a lot.

B. You are welcome.

As soon as this happened, I hurried home to tell my wife the sad news. But she didn't seem to be listening to me at all. She didn't notice me at all. She looked right through me and poured herself a drink. She turned on the TV.

At that moment, the phone rang. She walked over and picked up the phone.

I saw her face wrinkle. She wept bitterly.

Объяснение:

Как только это случилось, я поспешил домой, чтобы сообщить жене печальное известие. Но она, похоже, совсем меня не слушала. Она вообще меня не замечала. Она посмотрела прямо сквозь меня и налила себе выпить. Включила телевизор.

В этот момент раздался телефонный звонок. Она подошла и взяла трубку.

Я увидел, как сморщилось её лицо. Она горько заплакала.

Dear Father Christmas,

Thanks a lot for the present in last year. I was really happy to get that LEGO constructor. This year was very merry and fanciful. And I wish you to be happy next year and spend it with your close friends.

The last year showed me that material values are not matter in life. So I don't want to ask you for toys or stuff like this. Recently i went for a wander with my parents and I saw a beggar girl asking for money and it was really very disturbing to realise that kids who have no fault should live a pathetic life. So the only thing I want is a home for all the street people and they could spend New Year with their family.

Best wishes,

[your name]
