Choose the correct answer to each of the questions
I wasn’t worried when my son bought a computer. After all lots of children have parents
who don’t understand computers. But when my secretary asked me for a computer in the office, I
really became worried. So I decided to take some lessons in computing and my son became my
teacher. He was very helpful. He invited me to sit down in front of the computer screen. I did not
know what it was called. When I asked him what it was, he said that it was a VDU. I still didn’t
know what a VDU was, but I was too shy to ask him any more. From that moment my memory
refused to learn because he told me a lot of things that I really didn’t understand at all. After a few
lessons I began to feel tired. I made an excuse, saying that I had a headache. I suggested we should
leave the lesson for another day. Since then I haven’t said anything about the computer to my son
and my secretary.
