| UNIT 9 9.1 Reading Practice WINDOWS |
Windows is an operational system with an easy interface based on the expanding windows principle which uses icons to graphically represent files and their types.
Windows makes the way you and your computer interact easy. Most everyday tasks are now easier to accomplish than ever before. For example, the second mouse button has become a powerful weapon. The old Windows 3.0 Program Manager and File Manager have been replaced. The desktop tools that replace them are very like those found on a Macintosh. For example, there is a Recycle Bin that makes it easier to recover accidentally deleted files.
Your computer probably will crash less running Windows than it did with any other operating system. Most memory related problems have been removed. Built-in networking features make it easy to reliably share files with co-workers across the room or across the world. And MS-DOS as we know it is so well hidden that you'll rarely give it a thought. Yes, you can still run DOS programs and older Windows applications but most users will probably want to spend most of their time using modern Windows applications instead.
Microsoft says that it is moving forward to the time when we'll all think more about our data and less about the specific name-brand programs used to create them.
Window plug-and-play capability makes it easy to upgrade your computer hardware. And portable computer users will like what Microsoft has done to make their lives calmer.
A new Windows shortcuts capability makes it easy to reach frequently used files and other necessities. A new Find feature helps you to locate and examine the contents of files in a flash.
Most of this is accomplished without sacrificing performance. In fact, many things (like printing) usually happen faster now, due to 32-bit support and other Windows advancements.

9.3 Grammar Revue Indirect Speech. ( )
When direct speech is converted into indirect speech the following changes are introduced:
1. The quotation marks and the comma (or colon) are omitted.
2. If the speaker reports somebody else's words the pronouns of the 1st person are replaced by those of the 3rd person; the pronouns of the 2nd by those of the 1st or 3rd.
He said, "I am ready." He said he was ready.
If the speaker reports his or her own words, the pronouns are naturally not changed:
1 said, "1 am ready." I said 1 was ready.
3. If the verb in the principal clause is in the past tense, demonstrative pronouns and adverbials expressing nearness are replaced by words expressing distance:
| Direct Speech | Indirect Speech |
| Here This These Now | there that those Then, at that time (moment) |
or no adverb is used at all..
| Direct Speech | Indirect Speech |
| Today Yesterday Ago A year ago Last night | that day the day before or on the previous day before a year before the previous night |
4. If the verb in the principal clause is in the past tense, the tenses are changed according to the rule of the sequence of tenses.
| DIRECT SPEECH | INDIRECT SPEECH |
| The Present Indefinite → → → | the Past Indefinite |
| The Present Continuous → → → | the Past Continuous |
| The Present Perfect → → → | the Past Perfect |
| The Present Perfect Continuous → | Past Perfect Continuous |
| The Past Indefinite → → → | the Past Perfect |
| The Past Continuous → → → | The Past Continuous or the Past Perfect Continuous |
| The Past Perfect → → → | The Past Perfect |
| The Past Perfect Continuous → → | The Past Perfect Continuous |
| The Future → → → | The Future...... in the Past. |
If the Past Indefinite in direct speech denotes an action taking place at a definite moment, it remains unchanged in indirect speech.
The Past Indefinite after since generally remains unchanged.
Indirect statements.
Indirect statements are generally introduced by the verbs to say, to tell, to announce and in official style by the verb to inform.
One night the telephone bell rang and he (Cowperwood) informed her that he was compelled to remain at the office late. (Dreiser)
The Miller said to his wife that he would go down and see Little Hans. (Wilde)
Indirect questions.
Word order in an indirect question is the same as in a statement. An indirect general question is introduced by the conjunction if or whether.
I said to her, Have you lived here long?"
I asked her if she had lived there long.
An indirect special question is introduced by the same adverb or pronoun that introduces a direct question.
I said to her, "Where do you live"?
I asked her where she lived.
I asked her where she was going and where her friends were. (Ch. Bronte)
Indirect questions are generally introduced by the verb to ask. In more official style the verb to inquire is used.
Indirect orders and requests.
An order or a request in indirect speech is expressed by an infinitive:
She said to him, "Open the window"(do not open the window)
She told him to open the window (not to open the window).
The verb to tell corresponds to the Russian , and ; to order and to command correspond to .
|
|
|
Unemotional requests are usually introduced by the verb to ask.
Emotional (emphatic) requests are introduced by the verbs to implore, to entreat, to beseech ().
The verb to urge introduces a request made with great insistence. It corresponds to the Russian , .
The mother said to her son, "Do take care of yourself!"
The mother urged her son to take care of himself.

| Unit 10 10.1 Reading Practice INTRODUCTION TO THE WWW AND THE INTERNET |
Millions of people around the world use the Internet to search for and retrieve information on all sorts of topics in a wide variety of areas including the arts, business, government, humanities, news, politics and recreation. People communicate through electronic mail (e-mail), discussion groups, chat channels and other means of informational exchange. They share information and make commercial and business transactions. All this activity is possible because tens of thousands of networks are connected to the Internet and exchange information in the same basic ways.
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a part of the Internet. But it's not a collection of networks. Rather, it is information that is connected or linked together like a web. You access this information through one interface or tool called a Web browser. The number of resources and services that are part of the World Wide Web is growing extremely fast. In 1996 there were more than 20 million users of the WWW, and more than half the information that is transferred across the Internet is accessed through the WWW. By using a computer terminal (hardware) connected to a network that is a part of the Internet, and by using a program (software) to browse or retrieve information that is a part of the World Wide Web, the people connected to the Internet and World Wide Web through the local providers have access to a variety of information. Each browser provides a graphical interface. You move from place to place, from site to site on the Web by using a mouse to click on a portion of text, icon or region of a map. These items are called hyperlinks or links. Each link you select represents a document, an image, a video clip or an audio file somewhere on the Internet. The user doesn't need to know where it is, the browser follows the link.

All sorts of things are available on the WWW. One can use Internet for recreational purposes. Many TV and radio stations broadcast live on the WWW. Essentially, if something can be put into digital format and stored in a computer, then it's available on the WWW. You can even visit museums, gardens, and cities throughout the world, learn foreign languages and meet new friends. And, of course, you can play computer games through WWW, competing with partners from other countries and continents.
Just a little bit of exploring the World Wide Web will show you what a lot of use and fun it is.

10.3 Grammar Review IJ. (MOOD)
Mood is a grammatical category which indicates the attitude of the speaker towards the action expressed by the verb from the point of view of its reality.
In Modern English we distinguish three moods;
1 The Indicative Mood.
- The Imperative Mood.
- The Subjunctive Mood.
THE INDICATIVE MOOD
The Indicative Mood shows that the action or state expressed by the verb is presented as a fact. We went home early in the evening. (Dickens)
The Indicative Mood is also used to express a real condition, i. e. a condition the realization of which is considered possible.
If it rains, I shall stay at home.
If Catherine disobeys us, we shall disinherit her. (Eliot)
THE IMPERATIVE MOOD
The Imperative Mood expresses a command or a request. In Modern English the Imperative Mood has only one form which coincides with the infinitive without the particle to; it is used in the second person (singular and plural).
Be quiet and hear what I tell you. (Eliot)
Please put the papers on the table by the bed. (Hemingway)
Let's go and have some fresh coffee. (Mansfield) .
THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD
I. The Subjunctive Mood shows that the action or state expressed by the verb is presented as a non-fact, as something imaginary or desired.
Formation of Subjunctives.
| Subjunctive 1 | Subjunctive 2 | |
| Present and Future | Should/would + Verb | V-ed (2- form) |
| Past | Should/would + have+ V-ed (3-form) | Had + V-ed (3-form) |
USE OF THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD
1. Subjunctive I is used in a simple sentence and in the principle clause of a complex conditional one.
2. Subjunctive II is used in the subordinate clause only.
The world would be healthier if every chemist's shop in England were demolished. (Shaw) , .
If I had consulted my own interests, I should never have come here. (Galsworthy)
