If you want to fix a leaking tap, the first thing you have to do is to turn off the
main water tap. This is to prevent water from gushing out when you open up the tap.
Next you have to turn on the leaking tap fully. This is to drain away any water left in
the pipe.
Then you must dig out the plastic cover on the handle. Then unscrew and remove the
handle. The next thing to do is to remove the spindle. You do this by first loosening the
spindle nut with a spanner. After that pull out the spindle. At the base you can see the
washer. Remove the worn out washer and replace it with a new one. Finally screw the tap on.

Task 2
Computers.
Computers are machines that help people find answers to the questions. There are
many kinds of computers. Some are very large; others are so small that we can put them in
our pockets. The two basic, main, kinds of computers are analog and digital.
Computers can do many things. They can solve, answer, mathematic
problems, record airline reservations, help in space flights and direct nuclear
weapons. They can even speak and make translations from one language to
another.
Analog computers measure physical quantities, such as the movement of
electricity or temperatures. This kind of computer, however, often does only one
job. For example, it guides, directs, planes. Analog computers are often used in
factories to control machines, to aim guns, and to help ships and planes stay on
course (in the correct direction).
Digital computers count numbers. These devices are very adaptable, so they
are more popular than analog computers. Digital computers are often programmed,
(instructed) to work alone, without people. This device can make choices in the
middle of a problem. For example, if in the middle of a problem, the computer
sees a positive number, it will continue working on the problem. If it sees a
negative number, it will stop working.
Every digital computer has five basic parts: the input, the memory, the control,
the logic, and the output. The input is the information we put in the computer, like the
data, numbers, and the instructions. The memory holds this information until it is
needed for the problem. The control device decides where and when to send the
information. The logic section solves the problem by using the instructions. The
output section puts the information out. Sometimes it is on paper. Sometimes it is on a
TV screen.
A computer needs to have a program in order to work. A computer program is
the group, set, of directions that a computer needs to solve a problem. Programmers
are the people who write these instructions in a computer language, such as COBOL
for business or FORTRAN for math and science. These instructions include a code
which tells the computer what to do and an address which tells it where to find the
necessary information in its memory.
We see computers almost everywhere around us. They are in businesses,
stores, airports, schools, and homes. The young children learn to use them in their
classes. Some people are unhappy about the computer revolution, but it is here to stay.
