Lesson 1 Computer Basics and Operating Systems
I. READING COMPREHENSION
a. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the following questions
Understanding Computer Hardware and Operating System.
Computers are integral to modern life, serving various purposes across different sectors. At their core, computers consist of hardware components such as the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage (hard drives or SSDs), and input/output devices (like keyboards and monitors). The CPU acts as the brain of the computer, processing instructions and managing tasks. Memory temporarily stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly, while storage holds data and applications for long-term use.
There are several types of computers, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and servers. Desktops are often used in offices and homes due to their powerful performance and upgradeability.
Laptops offer portability, allowing users to work on the go. Tablets, while limited in functionality compared to desktops and laptops, are convenient for browsing the web and consuming media.
Operating systems (OS) are essential software that manage the computer's hardware and provide
a platform for applications to run. Popular operat ing systems include Microsoft Windows, Apple's macOS, and Linux. Each OS has its features and user interface, catering to different user preferences and needs. Understanding the basics of computer hardware and operating systems is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the digital world effectively.

I. SPEAKING
Study the following conversation and then practice it with a friend.
Alice: Hey, Bob! I heard you're looking to buy a new computer. Have you decided what type you want?
Bob: Not really. IΓÇÖm torn between getting a laptop and a desktop. What do you think? Alice: It depends on your needs. If portability is important, go for a laptop. You can take it to classes or work from different places.
Bob: True, I like the idea of working in a café. But I’ve heard desktops are more powerful. Is that right?
Alice: Yes, desktops usually offer better performance and are more upgradeable. You can swap parts like the graphics card or add more RAM.
Bob: ThatΓÇÖs appealing. I might want to play some games too, and I heard desktops handle gaming better.
Alice: Definitely! Desktops are better for gaming. Plus, you can customize them.
Bob: What about tablets? I see a lot of people using them.
Alice: Tablets are great for web browsing and media, but theyΓÇÖre less versatile for tasks like coding or graphic design.
Bob: Good point. IΓÇÖll need to think about what software IΓÇÖll run.
Alice: Exactly! If you need heavy applications, a laptop or desktop with a good OS like Windows or macOS is best.
Bob: I think IΓÇÖm leaning towards a laptop for now but might save for a desktop later. Alice: Sounds like a plan! Just make sure to pick the right operating system for your needs.
Practice: Role Play (Buying a computer)
Mark: Hi, Jessica! I just bought my first computer, but IΓÇÖm confused about operating systems. Can you help?
Jessica: Sure, Mark! Operating systems manage all the hardware and software on your computer. Do you know which one you have?
Mark: I think itΓÇÖs Windows. I see that name a lot.
Jessica: Good choice! Windows is user-friendly and compatible with most applications, widely used in both personal and business settings.
Mark: IΓÇÖve heard about macOS too. WhatΓÇÖs the difference?
Jessica: macOS is for Apple computers, known for its sleek design and strong security, but it has fewer software options compared to Windows.
Mark: What about Linux?
Jessica: Linux is open-source and customizable, popular among developers, but it can be challenging for beginners.
Mark: That sounds interesting but intimidating.
Jessica: It can be! Stick with Windows for now; it supports most software.
Mark: Do I need to worry about updating the OS?
Jessica: Yes, updates are crucial for security and performance. Most systems notify you when updates are available.
Mark: Thanks for the info, Jessica! I feel more confident about my new computer.
Jessica: Anytime, Mark! Feel free to ask if you have more question. -

The Eight Parts of Speech
There are eight parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. The part of speech indicates how the word functions in meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence. An individual word can function as more than one part of speech when used in different circumstances. Understanding parts of speech is essential for determining the correct definition of a word when using the dictionary.
1. NOUN
- A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.
man... Butte College... house... happiness
A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by adding 's. Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence; for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Nouns" for further information.
2. PRONOUN
- A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.
She... we... they... it
A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific noun, which is called its antecedent. In the sentence above, the antecedent for the pronoun she is the girl. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Pronouns" for further information.
3. VERB
- A verb expresses action or being.
jump... is... write... become
The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and sometimes one or more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.) A verb must agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different forms to express tense.
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Verbs" for more information.
4. ADJECTIVE
- An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.
pretty... old... blue... smart
An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a, an, the] are usually classified as adjectives.)
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Adjectives" for more information.
5. ADVERB
- An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
gently... extremely... carefully... well
An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun. It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Adverbs" for more information.
6. PREPOSITION
- A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence.
by... with.... about... until
(by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)
A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following list includes the most common prepositions:
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Prepositions" for more information.
7. CONJUNCTION
- A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.
and... but... or... while... because
A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between the elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because, although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as well.
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
See the TIP Sheet on "Conjunctions" for more information.
8. INTERJECTION
- An interjection is a word used to express emotion.
Oh!... Wow!... Oops!
An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation point.
The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
