the biography and answer the questions. Stevie Wonder Stevie Wonder
is an American singer-songwriter, born on May 13, 1950 in Saginaw,
Michigan. His name of birth is Stevland Judkins. Wonder grew up in
Detroit, singing in church choirs. In 1961 he was discovered by
Ronnie White of the Miracles, who helped arrange an audition with
Berry Gordy at Motown music and gave him a contract giving him the
name of Little Stevie Wonder. Stevie was always compared with Ray
Charles because of his blindness; he has been blind almost since
birth. Wonder became a romantic pop singer of protest songs about
Vietnam and race relations. From 1972-76 he released five albums,
in 1980 he won an Oscar for the song I just called to say I love
you. He fought with democrat congressmen for making the birthday of
Martin Luther King a national holiday which it became one in 1986.
In 1989 he was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. Wonders 2005
album won him six more Grammy nominations and won for best Vocal
Singer. Wonder is an activist for civil rights and endorsed 2008
United States Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama.
His contribution to the world of music and to society makes him
undoubtedly one of the best song writer and performer of our times.

Howve you been? Busy, and you? Pretty good. Hows your new job? Its
okay but Hi am Alex. Hello Alex, I am Camille. Are you a new
student? Yes, yesterday was my first day of class. Welcome! Read
the forms of greeting. Greetings To greet people is part of our
daily life, sometimes greeting is very casual, but when it comes to
business it is important that we use a formal vocabulary and proper
etiquette. We greet people in a variety of situations and in
different places, example: Greeting in passing. You dont always
have time to stop and have a conversation with a co-worker,
classmate or a neighbor, you just say Hello! say Hi! or just smile.
Greetings before a Conversation. Sometimes you stop and talk for a
minute as you say hello. This type of greeting is followed by a
conversation. Close friends often hug when they greet each other,
especially after a long time without seeing one other. Men
sometimes give each other a hand shake or a high-five. Greetings at
a Party or Social Event It is polite to greet many people at a
social event. This is called "mingling". Introduce yourself and
start a conversation with people you havent met before. Greetings
in Business Proper etiquette is important in business greetings as
it is mentioned above. Make sure to use polite language such as
"please" and "thank you". Appropriate titles and gestures should
also be used. Shaking hands is common in most English speaking
countries. Greetings in the Classroom An informal greeting is used
when you are at school or classroom but when a new student starts a
course or a semester it is polite to greet him/her. Introductions
immediately follow this type of greeting. Activity 3

conversation with someone, we have to know how to address him/her.
In the English language and culture there will be some people that
need more formality than others. It is not the same to address
people when speaking than to do it in writing, writing has
different rules and formalities. The difference in addressing
people involves age, job, education, religion and even marital
status. Sometimes a person gives you permission to use his or her
first name. In English we use the phrase "on a first name basis" to
describe a relationship that is not very formal. Activity 5

you have to know about a conversation. Conversations A well
conducted conversation starts by a greeting and by addressing
properly. Conversations can open up a new universe for business or
job opportunities, also help you make friends, and help you relate
with others. It is possible that you will need to give or ask for
personal information (name, address, telephone number, e-mail
address, etc.) These questions will help you get to know people.
They are simple questions with simple answers and provide
information so you can ask more questions. What is your name? What
is your address? Where do you live? What is your telephone number?
What do you do? What is your e-mail address? Where are you from?
What is There are casual forms of conversations that break the ice
in certain situations and places, these forms are called Small
talks, places where you use these talks: in a doctor's or dentist's
waiting room, at a bus stop, in a waiting line, etc. Sometimes in
these casual conversations you dont want to give your personal
information, you can say: Id rather not say. __ I dont give out
personal information. There are certain topics that people usually
make small talk about: weather, sports, current events, day, family
and news. Here are some ways to start a small talk: Activity 6

52. 53BLOCK 1 Read Carefully. Dos and Donts of Computer Care
Computers need special care and attention in order to perform
properly and safely. There are several specialized tasks such as
defragmenting, scanning and reformatting that computer experts can
do to keep the internal system of a computer working well. However,
we'll leave these tasks to the experts for now and concentrate on
some daily do's and don'ts that any computer user should know. This
may seem like a simple topic, but computers require special
cleaning even on the outside. Keeping your system free of dust,
dirt and liquids is the first step to computer care. There are some
general tips that you should always remember: You must never spray
your monitor screen (or any other computer component) with glass
cleaner. Instead, you may spray a lint-free cloth lightly with
glass cleaner and then clean the screen. Computer components should
be kept as dust-free as possible. For safety reasons, you must
never use your computer during a storm. You must keep all liquids
and food items away from your computer. You should install, use,
and regularly update virus software. You must never open an e-mail
attachment unless you know and trust the person who sent it. You
must not accept downloads from Internet sites that you don't know
and trust. Following these guidelines should help you to take good
care of your computer system, so that you can get lots of enjoyment
from it. Activity 4 Grammar Point Activity 4a Write a statement
