We are now living in what some people call the digital age, meaning that computers have become an essential part of our lives. Young people who have grown up with PCs and mobile phones are often, called the digital generation. Computers help students to perform mathematical operations and improve their maths skills. They are used to access the Internet, to do basic research and to communicate with other students around the world.
Teachers use projectors and interactive whiteboards to give presentations and teach sciences, history or language courses. PCs are also used for administrative purpose-schools use word processors to write letters, and databases to keep records of students and teachers. A school website allows teachers to publish exercises for students to complete online. Students can also enroll for courses via the website and parents can download official reports.
Mobiles let you make voice calls, send texts, email people and download logos, ringtones or games. With a built-in camera you can send pictures and make video calls in face-to-face mode. New Smartphone combine a telephone with web access, video, a games console, and MP3 player, a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a GPS navigation and system, all in one.
In banks, computers store information about the money held by each customer and enable staff to access large databases and to carry out financial transactions at high speed. They also control the cash points, or ATMs (automatic teller machines), which dispense money to customers by the use of a PIN-protected card. People use a Chip and PIN card to pay for goods and services. Instead of using a signature to verify payments, customers are asked to enter a four-digit personal identification number (PIN), the same number used at cash points; this system makes transactions more secure. With online banking, clients can easily pay bills and transfer money from the comfort of their homes.
Airline pilots use computers to help them control the plane. For example, monitors display data about fuel consumption and weather conditions. In airport control towers, computers are used to manage radar systems and regulate air traffic. On the ground, airlines are connected to travel agencies by computer. Travel agents use computer to find out about the availability of flights, prices, times, stopovers and many other details.
There are four of us in my family: a father, a mother, me and younger brother. My father’s name is Vladimir, he is a bus driver. My mother’s name is Natalya, she is a kindergarten teacher. My name is Alexander, I am in the fifth grade and I go to music school. My younger brother’s name is Andrey, he is in the first grade. I always help him to do homework and I look after him while my mother and father are at work. We like to play ball and watch animated cartoons. We go fishing together with father. After that our mother cooks delicious fish soup. If we have time to spare we always spend it together. We like going to the cinema and walking in the park. In the summer we go to the river for swimming or go to the forest to gather berries and mushrooms. In the winter we go skiing and skating. I and my brother always help our parents. We wash up dishes and sweep the floor. Moreover, we tidy our rooms ourselves. My parents are the best! Our family is very united, close-knit and happy.
Моя семья состоит из четырёх человек: папа, мама, я и младший брат. Папу зовут Владимир Иванович, он работает водителем автобуса. Маму зовут Наталья Сергеевна, она работает в детском саду воспитателем. Меня зовут Александр, я учусь в 5 классе и занимаюсь в музыкальной школе. Брата зовут Андрей, он учится в 1 классе. Я всегда ему делать домашнее задание и присматриваю за ним, пока мама с папой на работе. Мы любим с ним играть в мяч и смотреть мультфильмы. Вместе с папой мы ходим на рыбалку. Потом мама готовит нам вкусную уху. Свободное время мы всегда проводим вместе. Любим ходить в кино или гулять в парке. Летом ходим купаться на речку или ходим в лес за грибами и ягодами. А зимой катаемся на лыжах и коньках. Мы с братом всегда родителям: моем посуду и подметаем пол. Еще мы сами убираемся в своих комнатах. Мои родители самые лучшие! Наша семья очень дружная, крепкая и самая счастливая!
