A. Superlatives.
A superlative is the form of an adjective or an adverb used to compare three
or more things. The superlative form of an adjective is used to show something
has a quality to the greatest or least degree. The superlative form of an adverb is
used to show something has performed an action to the greatest or least degree.
When three or more things are compared, the superlative form of the adjective
is used to describe the object that is at the highest or lowest limit of the group.
This usually means -est is added to the end of the adjective, as in "tallest,"
"smallest," or "hardest.
The superlative can, in some cases, be formed using the words "most" or
"least," as in "most beautiful" or "least expensive." Then there are irregular
adjectives, whose superlative form is a completely different word.
So We have to explain the superlative adjectives to compare a person or thing
with a number of other people or things. In here, we can see the table, how to use
the superlative adjective into good sentences.
For short adjectives we add the Big Biggest The new monitor was the biggest
+ -est. Be careful of spelling. in the room.
Fast Fastest. Your version of the software is

the fastest.
Easy Easiest It's the easiest to use.
For long adjectives we use difficult the This version is the most difficult

D. Background of Reading Text.

In this material, the writing skill is one of four skills in English. This writing is
focus on how to make the students to tell the IT Security and Safety and the
lecturer must give a chance for the students to write their composition first,
after that they will show and speak about their composition. So this meeting is
not only special for writing, but it is also about their speaking
A. Read this list of rules for using a company computer. Why
Why Cyber Security is the New Health and Safety

Many people view the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 as
unnecessary and burdensome, but its introduction has had a dramatic impact
on reducing accidents in the workplace, particularly within industrial settings.
Today, it controls the safety of equipment used on process plants, the time
professional drivers may spend behind the wheel, and even how long
someone can stare at a computer screen for.
42
When you walk onto an oil and gas site, the success of this health and
safety message really becomes clear. Safety is usually the first thing visitors
are told about when entering a site, and anyone who comes through the door
is given a health and safety induction before they gain access.
What’s more, people in these environments are extremely clear about

what they can and can’t do in terms of safe behaviours. Employees are
empowered by this knowledge and act as safety ambassadors within a site.
Cybersecurity is now a global issue, affecting companies of all sizes and

every employee at all levels of a business. The time is now for enterprises to
see this issue as an important consideration when it comes to health and
safety.
In fact, in today’s connected era – where the Internet of Things enables

everything from smart fridges to connected pacemakers – it could be argued
that security and safety now go hand-in-hand.
Businesses should pay the same care and attention to cyber security as
they do to the Health and Safety Act if they are to prevent the serious damage
that could be caused by a successful cyber-attack. When it comes to critical
infrastructure, cyber risks aren’t limited to damaging a company’s reputation
or losing customer data.
E. Vocabulary: Match the verb 1-5 with the noun a-e

1. switch/turn off a) software
2. eat b) software
3. connect c) peripherals
4. load d) food
5. run e) the computer
F. Practice. Ask the students to speak or tell about their reasons why the security
which they always use in their life one by one so that they will be brave to do
anything in speaking. They must tell more details.
43
G. Close. The lecturer gives their opinion about the students’ speaking about
their study so that the students will be able to speak better and directly later. The
lecturer always has to give the motivation.

Unit 13
The Roles of Internet in Education
This material is talking about the roles of Internet in Education It is aimed

to improve the quality of education in many ways. It opens doorways to a wealth
of information, knowledge and educational resources, increasing opportunities for
learning in and beyond the classroom. Teachers use online materials to prepare
lessons, and students to extend their range of learning. And Internet, the most
useful technology of modern times which helps us not only in our daily lives but
also in professional lives. For educational purposes, it is widely used to gather
information and to do research or add to the knowledge of various subjects.
The Roles of Internet in Education
It is clear that one of the most important goals in preparing students for life in
the world that is stuffed with information must be the ability to search and
evaluate the relevant pieces of information. The students have to learn to work
with the E-mail and use the general searching tools. In many cases it is useful
when there is no need for the general search of the Internet when doing the
assigned tasks. It lowers the danger of taking undesirable paths. Therefore the
recommended sources of information are an important part of all lesson plans
where the use of Internet is expected.
Some of the suitable resources for students are universal. These are the
encyclopedias, databases, archives, museums, etc. In its possibilities the Internet
52
offers much wider choice than even the largest collection of CD-ROMs. There is
no point in presenting examples of individual sites here. The directories with
potentially useful links for students would be probably more sufficient. The
following addresses are worth trying:
There are also specialized services dedicated directly to the students similar to
those that we described when speaking about teachers' resources above. Students
may need assistance when they cannot find what they are looking for. The
English-speaking students can use various ask-reply services. Some of the
general ones work on the system that anybody can ask any question and everyone
can answer it (Ask Jeeves - http://www.askjeeves.com/). Obviously these answers
should be carefully examined. Other specialized services, such as the Ask ERIC
mentioned in the teachers' section above, cooperate with a network of librarians
and various experts, which answer the questions of students and assist them, e.g.
Ask An Expert http://www.askanexpert.com/, All Experts
http://www.allexperts.com/, Ask Dr. Math http://forum.swarthmore.edu/dr.math/,
Ask-A-Scientist http://www.madsci.org/, Ask Dr. Universe
http://www.wsu.edu/DrUniverse/). There are even several servers specialized in
assisting with doing the home assignments (e.g.
http://www.schoolwork.org/orhttp://school.discovery.com/homeworkhelp/
bjpinchbeck/). An exceptional source of materials is the archive of the
international prestigious competition ThinkQuest (http://www.thinkquest.org/).
Other, and for most students more natural way of getting the necessary advice
is to ask a friend. The students have their Internet clubs, where they meet, chat
and help each other. Not all of the places of this kind would please a teacher. The
activities taking place there have rarely anything in common with school. Most
often they consult problems with playing their computer games, there are very
popular lonely-hearts services, information on drugs spread there and also
admiration of various extremist groups may be unfortunately noticed. The
forbidden fruit always tastes the best, as we all know. It is sad, but it is true that if
someone tried to solve some problem connected to school activities, he/she would
be laughed out. Therefore the way of using the Internet by children both at school
and at home should be carefully observed. Action should be taken when
53
necessary. An environment for creative and sensible work helps here much more
than mere restrictions, it is always the best to pay personal attention to the
children.
All our children should know that it is the chat where they can meet various
deviants. They should never give anyone any hint that could lead to
establishing their real identity - sending a photo, telling name, home or school
address, telephone number, etc. And the last thing they could do would be to
arrange a meeting with an unknown person from there.
Some experimental multipurpose virtual environments could be useful also
for students. Apart from common services as messaging and chat, they enable to
create a personal space of individual appearance and function. The most
progressive one seems to be the American commercial server Active Worlds
(http://www.activeworlds.com/), which, under the name EduVerse offered its 3D
space to non-commercial educational institutions. The students meet here and
build common premises that often serve as virtual schools for any visitor. In the
following picture, there is an example of a classroom for teaching the literature.
By clicking on the pictures on the wall we can access the relevant materials.
EduVerse is using a special client program that integrates the 3D
environment, where the visitors roam as virtual persons - avatars, with the WWW
browser (the right part) and a dialogue window (in the middle on the bottom). On
the left hand side, there is a list of existing worlds that are possible to visit. We
can expect that the development of these environments will lead to the use of the
tools of virtual reality, which will make the multidimensional simulation almost
perfect. One day it will be possible to talk to other visitors and even shake their
hands.

Computer Skills in College
Original Text by Suzy Kerr, Demand Media
Computers Are an Essential Part of College Life.
By the time you graduate from high school, chances are you’ve gotten
many of the basics down in math, English and history, but what about computer
skills? If you’re a little rusty on the keyboard, you’ll need to spend some time
brushing up on these necessary skills because they play a huge role in day-to-day
life on campus. Knowing your way around a computer is a must for any college
student because schools rely heavily on this technology. Students use them for
research and essays, faculty members use them to communicate with students, and
most colleges even offer online courses that you can take from home.
Word Processing and Other Computer Applications
Having an understanding of word processing programs is a necessity for

college students, who must turn in essays and other written works in a typed
format. Unless your professor says you can use a typewriter, you need to know
59
how to navigate your word processor. Basic skills to know are how to open a new
document, type, use features within the program, save your file and then find it
again after closing it. Other computer applications you may need to use in college
include spreadsheets, presentation programs or how to upload files.
Research and Web Skills
Using the internet for research is another activity you’ll experience in

college. You need to be able to locate information using a search engine and have
the skills to do more advanced searches if necessary. Navigating within different
websites and downloading files are also necessary computer skills to have. You
should know how to create favorites and bookmarks online so you can easily
locate important information, as well as save a web page or images you find
online.
Web-based Classes
Many colleges also offer online or web-enhanced classes. These are often
taken for their convenience since they don’t require students to be physically
present 100 percent of the time. For this to be an option, however, you need to
have basic computer and Internet skills to participate. Whether you’re taking a
class that meets on campus half the time or not at all, you need to be able to get
online, find your class’s URL and move within that site. You’ll also need to know
how to access class materials and upload assignments for your instructor, as well
as connect with other students in your class for online discussions.
Email
Knowing how to use email is also an important computer skill for college
students. Many professors ask their students to submit work via email, so knowing
how to attach a file, compose an email and send it to the correct address is
necessary. Likewise, opening an email and any attached documents, as well as
how to reply or forward it, is something you should know. Email also comes in
60
handy if you need to contact your instructors to ask a question or to let them know
if you won’t be in class.
EXERCISE I
1. What do the students and faculty members use the computer for ?
____________________________________________________________
____
2. What skill of application should college students have to write essay or
other works in typed format?
____________________________________________________________
__________
3. What are another basic skills college students should have besides word
processing?
____________________________________________________________
____
4. Why you must have web skill?
____________________________________________________________
____
5. What are some skills you must have to search information through the
website?
____________________________________________________________
____
6. Recently many colleges offer online or web-enhanced classes, why do you
think this trend occur in education?
____________________________________________________________
____
7. Knowing how to use email is also an important computer skill for college
students, why do you think it is important?
____________________________________________________________
____
61
8. What are skills you should know on E-mailing?
____________________________________________________________
____
9. Which one do you prefer to participate in study, physically present 100
percent in the classroom or join the classroom through your online URL
class?
