Unit Three NETWORKING A READING SKILL Warm-up Pair/ Individual work Study the following images and answer these questions How can we be networked? ………………………………………………………………………………… What devices should we need to get networked? ………………………………………………………………………………… How important is it for us to be networked in the society? ………………………………………………………………………………… Comprehension Check dịch Enterprise networking When Big Oil started its search for oil in West Africa, their geophysicists carried out surveys to see whether there were any oil reservoirs underground These surveys produced a lot of data which needed to be sent back to Head Office, but how you transfer half of a gigabyte of data out of the jungle when the local telecoms infrastructure isn’t up to it, or not there at all? We talk to Dave Wells, Telecommunications Manager at Big Oil, about these challenges ‘The geophysicists who went out there first used sat-phones to transmit voice and data But of course once the decision to drill was made, we had far more users to support with various requirements in a proper office environment.’ Big Oil’s telecoms team is used to providing global voice and data connectivity into remote locations, says Dave ‘We worked with one of the global data networking providers to extend their WAN services here and convinced them to put an MPLS node into the capital This meant they had a local presence and it allows us to connect to their global network We then had 8Mb connectivity from the router in my comms rooms in London down to the capital We decided to pay to dig a trench and laid our own fibre local loop to give us reliable, high capacity bandwidth to our new premises.’ ‘A local contractor wired out the office with CAT5 cabling We installed and remotely managed our own LAN hub and ran a 100 Mb Ethernet LAN around the building to laptops and PCs which have the same specifications and applications as London We decided against a standalone PBX because we had a full Mb for voice, data and video traffic We set up our 30 staff with VoIP and teleconferencing applications on their computers and they use headsets for their calls This all works well, and from the traffic analysis we can see that they actually videoconference with London more often than just talk because of the infrastructure we put in for them.’ Despite being remote, the team on the ground now have the same capabilities as London, another example of how telecoms and IT can support business that operate in hard-to-reach places KEY WORDS AND PHRASES (appearing in the order of the text) be not

phép C LANGUAGE FOCUS Relative Clauses Relative Clauses are usually of two kinds: Defining and Non-Defining Clauses Defining Relative Clauses We can use the relative pronouns who, which, that and relative adverbs where, when to clarify the preceding nouns  In Relative Clauses, the relative pronouns are who, which and that + who is used for people + which for things + that can be used for both people and things These pronouns can function as subjects or objects in the clauses E.g This was confirmed by Shannon who/ that developed a theory of a formula for finding the correct sampling frequency The digital camera which/ that I bought the other day is a Sony Cyber-Shot  In case who, which and that are used as the object of a preposition, the preposition can precede who and which, or end the sub-clause However, the former way is more preferable in ESP E.g The principles of these two types of switching are illustrated in the following figures in which we follow the speech paths of two subscribers through a small exchange = The principles of these two types of switching are illustrated in the following figures which we follow the speech paths of two subscribers through a small exchange in  Other pronouns, such as where (for place) when (for time), why (for reason) and whose (for possession) are also used in Relative Clauses + We can use where (= in/at which) for place E.g That is the basic location where the microprocessor stores the required information + We can use when (= in/on which) for time E.g Was it the day when the computer came out? + We can use why (= for which) or that after the word reason E.g Is there a reason why/that you don’t want to update your computer operating system? + We use whose (in place of his, her, their, etc.) to talk about possession of both people or things E.g We are writing this letter to complain about your staff whose service was not satisfying  Defining clauses give important information which denotes exactly what is being referred to In many cases, the main clause does not make full sense without the sub clause E.g In the early 1970s Britain launched its Prestel system which is now offered as a regular service by British Telecoms Non-Defining Relative Clauses Non-defining relative clauses add extra information They are separated by commas in writing and by a pause in speaking We could miss out the relative clause and the meaning would still be clear E.g Apple Inc., which is an American multinational technology company, is headquartered in Cupertino, California N.B - That cannot be used to introduce a non-defining clause - A relative clause introduced by which may modify the idea of the whole preceding clause E.g Optical fibres are smaller, lighter and easier to install than coaxial cables, which is perfect for an office environment In this sentence the word which refers to the whole preceding clause, “Optical fibres are smaller, lighter and easier to install than coaxial cables” Task Underline Relative Clauses in the following sentences and state whether they are Defining (D) or Non- Defining (Non-D) Clauses có dấu phẩy bỏ được, khơng có đấu phảy ko bỏ đc The growing need for data communication is reflected in the number of modems installed, which has recently increased at a rate of 30% per annum The concept of the ‘wired city’ in which any one can instantly talk to almost

sentences about a topic There are some kinds of paragraphs as follows: + In a descriptive paragraph the writer describes a person, a place or a thing + In an example paragraph the writer explains a topic by giving examples + In a process paragraph the writer explains how to something step by step + In an opinion paragraph the writer expresses his or her feelings, ideas, and opinions about a topic + In a narrative paragraph the writer tells a story Paragraph organization A typical paragraph has a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence • The topic sentence introduces the topic and tells what the writer will say about the topic • The sentences that follow further explain and support the topic sentence They are called supporting sentences • The concluding sentence often repeats the information in the topic sentence in a different way Read the following sample paragraph to understand more of the paragraph organization topic sentence sp definition Young people are too dependent on computers Dependency on computers means that young people cannot perform the normal tasks and functions of daily life without them In the old days, people memorized important information, but today’s youth rely on computers, cell phones, and PDA’s to assignments, records number, and save important information As a result, they can find themselves unprepared in an emergency such as electrical blackout Once the batteries die, these people will not be able to communicate For example, I all my homework on my computer When my computer crashed last week, I lost my only draft of an essay that was due the next day As a result, I got a bad grade With the assistance of technological devices, young people find computers a dependable device for them to perform daily tasks concluding sentence The topic sentence The topic sentence is usually the first or second sentence in a paragraph It introduces a new idea It presents the topic and explains what the writer will say about the topic This explanation is called controlling idea E.g Young people are too dependent on computers Supporting sentences Supporting sentences add information about the topic and the controlling idea They can include definitions, explanation, and examples as in the examples below  Supporting definition Dependency on computers means that young people cannot perform the normal tasks and functions of daily life without them  Supporting explanation In the old days, people memorized important information, but today’s youth rely on computers, cell phones, and PDA’s to assignments, records number, and save important information As a result, they can find themselves unprepared in an emergency such as electrical blackout Once the batteries die, these people will not be able to communicate  Supporting example For example, I all my homework on my computer When my computer crashed last week, I lost my only draft of an essay that was due the next day As a result, I got a bad grade Concluding sentence The concluding or final sentence of a paragraph usually reminds the reader of the topic and controlling idea of paragraph The concluding sentence restates the main idea Let’s compare: The topic sentence Young people are too dependent on computers The concluding sentence With the assistance of technological devices, young people find computers a dependable device for them to perform daily tasks In addition to restating the main idea, the concluding sentence may: - Give an opinion about the topic E.g Some people might disagree, but I think computers make young people more and more dependent - Sometimes the writer signals the concluding sentence by using the phrases; In conclusion, To conclude, In general, In short, In summary, To sum up… E.g In conclusion, relying on computers in solving daily problems is an undeniable fact in modern society Task Read the paragraph below and underline the topic sentence, supporting sentences and concluding sentences I have a new digital camera, and I am very excited about using it because it has so many useful features I not need to spend a lot of time focusing on it as it has automatic focus People not have to
