1 Sophie wants to set up a videoconference to show Jimmy some new products. To do
this, they are using a simple chat program on their computers. Put the sentences of
their conversation in the correct order.
a
Video icon … ah, there it is. Wow, I can see something … a sort of big pink
ball … but the picture isn’t very clear. Is it one of your new toys?
b
No, actually, it’s been pretty sunny for the last three days.
c
Well done! Right, the next stage is to click on the ‘video’ icon in the top
left-hand corner of the chat program.
d
Wow, that’s good news. OK, I have some new toys for the Christmas
market I’d like to show you. Are you ready to start our videoconference?
e
That’s good! Now find my name and then double-click on it.
f
Ooops! Sorry about that Sophie! I told you I was lousy at using new
technology!
g
Er, sure. I’ve never done this before though. You’ll have to bear with me if
I’m a bit slow.
h
Er, no, that’s my face, Jimmy. I’ll have to adjust the focus …
i
Fine thanks, Jimmy. Is the weather still miserable in London?
j
Hello, Sophie! Good to speak to you! How are things in Paris?
k
Right, last time I was in London I installed a chat program so all you have
to do is to click on the ‘chat’ icon at the bottom of the screen.
l
Yes, it is, I know that much!
m
Hold on, hold on, ‘chat’ icon … there it is … The program is opening and
there’s a list of names in a sort of box.
n
Here you are, ‘Sophie–Paris’! Now double-click … Wow, a dialogue box
just appeared out of nowhere! Let me key in H-e-l-l-o S-o-p-h-i-e.
o
Don’t worry, Jimmy. It’s very easy. Now, is your computer switched on?
