[00:34.25]Integrated Skills Development [00:39.81]Passage [00:45.37]I Have Never Used a Computer [00:51.44]Janet decides it's time to learn how to use a computer, [00:58.28]and goes to the computer room in her college. [01:03.14]She asks someone there how to use the computer. [01:08.60]The following is the conversation between Janet (J) [01:15.36]and another student (AS) in the computer room. [01:21.53]J: Excuse me, can you help me? [01:27.69]AS: Oh, yeah, sure. What's the problem? [01:32.26]J: Well, I've never used a computer before, I'm afraid, [01:38.01]So I have very little idea what to do. [01:42.97]AS: Oh, yeah, OK, sure, [01:46.84]well you'd better start at the beginning then... [01:51.39]Well, first you need to switch it on. (He switches on the computer.) [01:56.24]OK. Now we've just got to wait for a minute [02:02.20]or so while the computer checks itself out... [02:06.77]now just wait. Right, here it is, [02:12.62]you see this coloured screen, this is Windows 95. [02:19.15]J: What is Windows 95? [02:23.31]AS: Windows 95 is an operating system, [02:28.06]which controls the hardware, [02:32.14]reading from and writing to the disk, [02:37.00]sending information to the printer and so forth. [02:42.04]Now, move the mouse. You see the arrow on the screen? [02:47.99]It is controlled by the mouse. [02:52.43]Move the arrow to the "Start" icon at the bottom of the screen [02:58.99]and click the left-hand button of your mouse [03:04.06]and you will get a menu. [03:07.90]J: What does the menu mean? [03:11.97]AS: The menu is just the list of programs [03:16.94]which are on the computer so you can choose the one you want. [03:22.89]J: Well, I just want to do some typing, type my essay, [03:29.45]so what do I want actually? [03:33.81]AS: Right, you want the word processor, [03:38.17]that is, the "Microsoft Word" in this computer. [03:43.74]Point the cursor to "Program" [03:48.00]and you can find some of the programs [03:52.46]that come with Windows 95 (right, OK), [03:56.72]that's it, OK. To start the typing program, [04:02.47]click "Microsoft Word" now... [04:07.75]There you are, blank screen. [04:12.79]You could just start typing now, as if it's a typewriter. [04:19.34]J: Er, OK... what if I make a mistake, [04:25.22]I know it'll correct it, but how do I do that? [04:30.79]AS: OK, um, well, the mouse you used before, [04:37.55]you can use it to move the cursor [04:41.81]to the front of the mistake and click, [04:46.64]then press "Delete", and type in whatever you want to correct it to. [04:53.59]Very important is saving your document so that you can go away, [05:00.67]come back to it... In order to save your document, [05:06.31]you should use your mouse to click the "File" menu [05:11.35]and find "Save" function there. [05:16.19]Now click the "Save " and see what happens. [05:21.75]Now you can see it asks you for a name, [05:27.31]so now you need to type in a name you want to call your document. [05:33.79]J: OK, so if I call it by my name, Janet? [05:39.72]AS: Right, OK, and press "Enter" again, [05:45.05]and there you can see it's, er, it's saving it for you. [05:51.24]J: OK, er, it seems quite easy actually. [05:56.49]AS: The other thing you need to know is, um, [06:01.17]how to finish, er, how to exit. [06:05.84]I'll tell you what — [06:09.40]I'll go and get on with my work over there and er, [06:14.86]let me know when you've finished, [06:18.91]and I'll come and help you exit. [06:22.77]J: Oh thanks very much, you've been very helpful and kind. Thank you. [06:28.94]Will you be here actually? [06:33.01]AS: Yeah, I'm going to be here for the next couple of hours, [06:37.74]so, er, sure. [06:40.90]J: So if I get stuck you can help me? [06:45.63]AS: Yes, of course. J: Thanks a lot.
