Основное содержание урока

T: Hello Amy! How are you?

A: Hello Tim. I’m fine, how are you?

T: I’m fine too. What are you doing?

A: I’m reading about how the computer networks were designed.

T: Wow! That’s very interesting.

Computers have become a very important part of our lives. We can’t even imagine modern society without the computers. They are responsible for almost everything starting from the spaceships that are launched due to the special computer software to the air conditioner in your car, which is also controlled by the special program.

How does this enormous amount of computers interact? They obviously need to share some data and files.

This happens because almost every computer in the world has the connection to the computer network.

By connecting to the Internet you can do almost whatever you would like to.

Not only computers can be part of the network. Nowadays every smartphone has special equipment which allows you to stay online.

You can sit in a park and share files, download music and copy important data from another person’s computer, which is also connected to the Internet.

But is the Internet connection always safe?

The answer is no.

You need to remember that you should follow some security rules in order not to get into trouble.

Think of 5 rules of the Internet security.

Let’s have a look at the vocabulary we can use to talk about computer networks. Try to guess their meanings.

information – facts
share files – send your files so they can be downloaded from the Internet
security system – system that protects something or someone
connection – bound with something
data – information
computer network – several connected computers
Internet café – place where you can get the Internet access
send e-mails – send letters using the Internet
equipment – appliances
important – of great value
copy – create the same thing one more time
