OK, here's my new computer. As you can see, there are five main parts. Now, the large box
with the slots and sliding disk carrier (1) ________________ is the most important part. It
carries all the stuff that makes the computer work (2)_______________. You can also put
in (3)_______________ your own games and other things (4)_______________. Next to it
there is the thing that looks like a small television (5)_______________ so that you can see
what the computer is doing. To the right of that, there is the machine that lets you make black
and white or colour copies of the documents that you create on the computer
(6)_______________. You can control the computer by using the rectangular flat thing with
all the letters and numbers on (7)_______________ or the funny little object with the

long lead which you can move across your desk (8)_______________. The large flat thing
to the left of the computer is the machine you can use to make copies of your photographs
onto the computer, a bit like a photocopier (9)_______________.

It's a very useful machine, of course. Once you get it up and running (10)__________ you
can do lots of things on it. You can create documents, play games or get information from the
fantastic thing that links computers from around the world (11)_______________. A lot
of companies and organizations have their own special computer page (12)_______________
which you can look at, and you can transfer (13)_______________ the information to your
own computer files. Or, if you like, you can send messages to other people by using a special
electronic letter-sending facility (14)_______________.

Unfortunately, I can't let you use it as it stopped working (15)_______________ last night. It's

probably got a technical fault, usually created on purpose, that affects computer files and
folders (16)_______________.
