Pair Work:
Interview: Look at the picture. Suppose one of you is a student who has just used the computer in the computer room and feels quite disappointed at the present state of the computer room. And the other is a reporter for school newsletter who wants to find out more about the computer room to support his opinion that computers should be changed for new and better ones. Now the reporter is interviewing the student.
Sample answers
S1:I know you often go to the computer room. How often do you go there And what type of activities do you do there
S2: I usually go there four times a week. I like to do my
homework and some revision work there. Sometimes I surf the Internet to search for information. I’m interested in, such as sports news and pop music. I also send and receive e-mails. I have some e-friends in the USA and Australia.
S1: When do you usually use the computer room
S2: We have computer lessons twice a week, when I can use the computer there. I sometimes go there at lunchtime or after school.
S1: Since you often go there, what problems have you found with the computer room
S2: The computer room is always busy since there are not enough computers. And it is closed too early. The worst thing is that the computers there are too old and work too slowly. There is something wrong with keyboards, CPUs, RAM, DVD-ROM drives and hard drives. And the printer doesn’t work well.
S1: You certainly want the computer room to be improved.
How do you think it can be improved
S2: I think the school should buy more and better computers, replace keyboards and mouses, and buy and install new software. The computer room should be open for longer hours.

writing a proposal for a new computer room

4. More should be bought.
5. It should be updated.
6. Computers should be connected to the Internet.
7. They should be updated.
8. Air-conditioning should be installed.
9. Opening hours should be extended.
Possible example
Dear sir,
Recently, a survey about the school computer room was carried out in our school. The students find the design of the computer room impractical. They are not interested in studying there because of this. I’m writing this proposal to you to voice our opinion that the computer room needs improving.
Possible example
There are not enough computers in our computer room. The computers that we use at the moment are old and slow, and they often crash, which wastes a lot of time. The computers there are not connected to the Internet, so we can not get the information that we need for our homework. There is only one printer in the room, which always goes wrong. In addition, the room is too hot in summer.
As more and more subjects are involved in IT, the computer room is playing a very important role in our studies nowadays. We are encouraged to use computers to do our homework and get information from the Internet. Now many factories and companies cannot work without computers, so those who have computer skills are easier to find a job. In order to get ourselves well prepared for the future, we need a well-equipped computer room. I am sure that most parents would agree with our proposal that our school should improve the computer room.
The government says we should have more IT in all subjects, and more subjects are developing rapidly with the help of puter skills are becoming more and more important in further studies. We will not keep up with the development of society if we are not good at using computers. So we really need to have a new computer room and hope that you will seriously consider our request.
Best wishes,
