A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as a PC (Personal Computer), but it’s smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose laptops for several reasons.


A laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other activities. We do not need complicated cable installations to activate a laptop. With a laptop, we can do our work anytime and anywhere.


Moreover, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free access called hot spot areas. Some people like to use this facility to carry out their tasks.


Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses a rechargeable battery as a source of electric energy. So, if we prefer using a laptop, it means that we support the government program to save energy. That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.


“ …a laptop allows us….” (paragraph 1 line 1)

The underlined word has the opposite meaning with …

a)

permits

b)

forbids

c)

gives

An electronic calculator is a small, portable electronic device used to perform both arithmetic operations and complex mathematical operations.


The first solid electronic calculator was created in the 1960s, building on the extensive history of tools such as the abacus (developed around 2000 BC), and the mechanical calculator (developed in the 17th century AD). It was developed in parallel with the analog computers of the day.


In addition to general purpose of calculators, there are those designed for specific markets, for example, there are scientific calculators which include trigonometric and statistical calculations. Some calculators even have the ability to do computer algebra. Graphing calculators can be used to graph functions defined on the real line, or higher dimensional Euclidean space.

Unlike humans, birds do not give birth to babies. Instead, they lay eggs. After lying eggs, a mother bird sits on the eggs to keep them warm until they hatch.


Birds spend most of their time looking for food using their keen eyesight. They use their beak and claws to get bugs, worms, small mammal, fish, fruit, grain or nectar. Although birds eat different food most of them feed on insects. Those that eat insects are cal insectivores.
