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.

Wonders 2005 album won him six more Grammy nominations and won for best Vocal Singer.

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

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

Read what 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.
