Welcome to Computers and English


It's a pleasure to meet all of you! It's exciting to teach and learn with computers.

One day you will finish coming to school at City College. When will you stop? Why will you stop? Will you get a job and work on a computer every day? Maybe you will graduate and go to a different school. You can study in a technical school, for a job as an auto mechanic, for example. You can study at a university so you can be a teacher, or an accountant.

I hope you will always want to learn more English. You can study English all your life. There are many new words to learn. There are many interesting things to read. Every language is interesting, and it takes a long time to understand a new language. You can be a student all your life.

When you study, you are very busy. Most students in our school work and study. It is difficult to have time for school. Learning English opens many doors for you. Please come to school often, and read and listen outside school, too.

We will be busy together in class. It helps us work together when we know each other. Answer some questions and introduce yourself to our class. You can make comments on this page. You can read about your classmates and write to each other.

1. What is your name?
2. What country are you from?
3. What was your job in your home country?
4. Where do you work now and what do you do?
5. Where is your family?
6. What is your favorite food?
7. What music do you enjoy?
8. What do you like about computers or technology?
