4. HARD DISC

A magnetic disc on which you can store computer data. (Hangi) The term hard is used to distinguish it from a soft, or floppy, disc. (ayırt etmek) Hard discs hold more data and are faster than floppy discs. A hard disc, for example, can store anywhere (herhangibir yerde) from 10 to more than 100 gigabytes, whereas (oysa) most floppies have a maximum storage capacity of 1.4 megabytes. A single hard disc usually consists of several platters.  Each platter requires two read/write heads, one for each side. All the read/write heads are attached to a single access arm so that they cannot move independently(özgürce). Each platter has the same number of tracks, and a track location that cuts across all platters is called a cylinder.For example, a typical 84 megabyte hard disc for a PC might have two platters (four sides) and 1,053 cylinders. In general, hard discs are less portable than floppies, although it is possible to buy removable hard discs.

7-SINGLE FATHERS' CLUB

Self-help groups, i.e. groups of people with common problems, are very popular in many countries. These people have meetings and talk about their problems. They try to find answers for their problems together. For example, there are hundreds of groups of men and women who want to lose weight or give up drinking, who are single mothers or unmarried mothers. Now groups for single fathers are also starting to appear. This is the story of a group for single fathers. It started when a radio announcer, John McCarthy, was reading an announcement for a single mothers' group. After he read the announcement, he said, "I'm a single father. I've got two sons. My wife died two years ago. I look after my children on my own and I have a lot of problems. I'm sure there are a lot of other men who have lost their wives. So we need a group, too". Two single fathers, Henry Mason and Paul Singer, heard his message on the radio and called him and they decided to meet. These three men started the first single fathers' group in the US on May 5th, 1988. After 6 months, there were 30 fathers in the group called "Single Fathers' Club". There are doctors, students, mechanics, a bus-driver, a television producer, a few businessmen and several men who are unemployed. They meet every Tuesday night. They talk about problems, such as how to look after a child with a temperature, where to find milk at 6 a.m., how to help children who don't sleep well at night, or what foods are best for their children. The fathers feel these meetings help them. They say the difficult part for men is just learning to talk to other men about anything really personal.

8-LEARNING ABOUT COMPUTERS

A computer is a giant brain which can help us learn fast, work successfully, or just have a good time. It can also store, or keep, very large amounts of information for easy reference. The only way to learn to use a computer is to do so. But before we start, we should know what the different parts of a computer do.

The Basic Parts Of A Computer System

HARDWARE - The hardware is the computer machinery and consists of the following parts: -

CPU - The CPU (central processing unit) is the heart of the computer. It contains the processor, which changes information into a form that we can understand. and the memory, which saves infomation you want to keep. The CPU consists of billions of on and off switches .

. KEYBOARD - We put information .into the computer using the keyboard. It has keys that look like those on a typewriter.

DISKS and DISK DRIVE - Most computers store information on disks, which look like records. We put the disks into a disk drive, which is connected to the CPU. - --
MONITOR - The monitor looks like a television screen. It shows either new information which we have typed or information which we have asked the computer to give us from the memory.
PRINTER - The printer prints any information which we choose to have on paper.

SOFTW ARE - The software is the computer programme. A programme is a set of codes which tells the computer how to work, so we need different programmes to do different tasks. For example, some programmes can teach us French, and some are games. There are thousands of different programmes. However, it is not necessary to know how to programme a computer. This is the job of specialists. All we have to learn is how to use an existing programme.
