Speaking

Task 17. These are answers from an interview with Elissa, who works for SysTech. Ask the questions.

1. I’m a computer systems software engineer.

2. I coordinate the constructions and maintenance of a company’s computer systems.

3. A bit of both. I’m here some of the time but I also spend a lot of time on site configuring and installing computer systems at a company.

4. Well, companies have various needs. They have to organize things like ordering, inventory, billing, payroll, etc. I help companies to coordinate their computer systems in their departments.

5. No, not really. As a software engineer, I need to have good programming skills, but I’m more concerned with developing algorithms and analyzing and solving programming problems than with actually writing code programs.

6. I also help companies to set up their Intranet systems and, in general, I make suggestions about the technical direction of the company and I help them to plan for future growth.

Task 20. Enjoy the poem .

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,

and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,

and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,

then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,

and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,

and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,

then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,

says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,

but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,

that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,

so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,

then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,

'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,

and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,

then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.

Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!
