5) If you click _____, the window will cover all of the computer screen.

6) Clicking _____ changes the size and location of the window.

Reading

a) Read the text quickly and answer the question after it:

 

1. To make a new folder in the Windows OS, go to the desktop, find the My Computer icon with the pointer and double-click it using the left mouse button. The My Computer window appears, showing the different drives. Maximize the screen if necessary.

2. Double-click the C: drive icon. The C: drive window appears showing the folders in your C: drive, either in a row or in a list.

3. Move the pointer to the menu bar. Click on File and a drop-down menu appears. You can only click the words New or Close.

4. Move the pointer to the word New. Another menu appears with Folder at the top of the list.

5. Click on Folder. This creates a new folder that appears at the end of the list of folders on the C: drive. The words New Folder are highlighted. The cursor also flashes on and off to show you where to type.

6. Click on New Folder and type the name you want in the box. This can be up to 250 characters long, but you cannot use the characters ‘/ \: *? < > │’ in your folder name.

7. Click anywhere on the window to see your new folder name. If you do not click on the window, you will save your new folder as New Folder, not with the name you want.

8. Close the window.

9. Your new folder is now listed in the C: drive in alphabetical order.

Do you know any other way of creating a folder?

 

b) Match the diagrams (a-d) with the instruction numbers from Exercise a):

 

 

c) Before reading the text below, try to answer the questions:

How is it possible to lose files on a computer?

Have you ever lost your information? Why?

d) Read the text quickly and match the headings (a-e) with the paragraphs (1-5):

 

a Saving existing files b Naming files c Saving new files d Defaults

 

1. Programs that let you create files or save data have a Save command, usually in the File menu. When you save a new file, the Save As dialog box appears (see below). You can let the computer decide the location, the file name and the format, or you can choose these settings yourself. There are many different file formats and they all have advantages and disadvantages. You can save a word-processing document as a web page, for example, or you can save digital photographs in a JPEG format, a TIFF format or many others.

2. The Save As command is the default command for any new document so the Save As dialog box appears even if you click Save. If you do not give a new document a file name in a word-processing program, the file name will usually default to the first line in the document. The default file name in graphics programs is usually ‘Untitled’.

3. If you work on an existing file and want to save changes, click Save, not Save As. You can use Save As to save an existing file in a different location, for example, in another drive or folder (using Save in)with a new name (using File name) or in a different format (using Save as type).

4. Having different folders helps you organize your files, but naming all the different files in one folder is not always easy. You should give files names that describe exactly what they contain so that you can find them easily.

e) Decide if the sentences are true (T) or false (F):

1 If you do not choose a location, a name, or a format when you save a new file, the computer will do it for you. 2 If you click Save on a new file, the Save As dialog box appears. 3 You can save files in one format only. 4 You can save existing files in more than one place on your computer. 5 The Save command only saves existing documents. 6 Most word-processing documents use 'Untitled' as the default name. 7 The Save As command cannot save existing documents. 8 Thinking of names for your files is easy. T/F   T/F T/F T/F T/F T/F T/F T/F

 

f) Complete the sentences (1-6) with the words in bold and phrases in the text:

1 You can make back-up copies of_______ files on a floppy disk by using Save As.

2 I need a_______ camera because I want to save my pictures on my computer.

3 Graphics programs save files without names as _________by default.

4 Clicking _______will let you go to the A: drive, C: drive or D: drive.

5 Programs have _______ settings for all kinds of functions.

6 Click________ in the Save As dialog box to change the file format.
