Fun English Lessons

This ESL podcast is about what to look for when buying a new computer.  As always, there is a lot of very useful vocab which can be used in daily life. Dialog: A:  What’s going on?    B:  I’ve had it with my old computer.  It’s a total piece of junk.  I’m getting a new one.   A:  Are you getting a Mac or staying with the PC?   B:  I know a lot of people swear by the Mac, but I’m so used to a PC that I think I’ll just stick with it.    A:  I like the Mac because it crashes a lot less and has a lot less viruses.    B:  I don’t blame you.  I can definitely see how it would be better.  I just can’t be bothered to learn how to use one.  I also know there’s less software for the Mac.   A:  I hear you.  What specs are you getting?   B:  I want a huge hard drive for all my downloads.  I need to get a big monitor to watch movies on.   A:  What about RAM and processor?   B:  My needs aren’t too great for those.  I don’t use too many applications simultaneously.  I pretty much just do word processing and surf the net.
