"The Internet" an Episode from the IT Crowd

Wednesday 28^th May

Hello again!

Your essay on Athens, writing about the city and telling why you like it, was very good.

You can go to this website to bring back memories...

Athens - Greece

Together with it and a listening about ‘The World Around’, we finished the module.

·        Where would you go if your ‘golden retriever’ (a breed of dog) had health problems?

·        Where can you buy some glue and a screwdriver?

·        Where can you get rid of newspapers, old furniture and bottles and help the environment?

·        What about having your body decorated?

·        If you want to open a savings account or withdraw some money, which place would you go?

·        What kind of business should you call if you wanted a quotation for moving furniture and staff to your new home?

As we have been working very hard in the last weeks, we needed an entertaining activity. And that’s why we started to see another episode from the TV series “The I.T. Crowd”. It’s called “The Internet”

This time Jen, the IT head of department, had to make a speech for the monthly meeting of the shareholders (people who had invested money in the company) because she had been named ‘employee of the month’. As usual, Moss and Roy are plotting (making plans against somebody) so as to give Jen away. To reveal that Jen doesn’t know anything about computers – not even how to pronounce the word- and even though, she’s been made manager of the IT department!

 The other story concerns ‘The boss’ of the company and a female journalist who is writing a profile on him because he has been chosen “Man of the Month” by her magazine. Soon, they’ll find out (discovered) they have many things in common. A bit too many things in common as he is soon to find out …

…but we ran out of time,(time finished) so we’ll finish seeing the episode in our next class.

Have a nice weekend! See you on Wednesday!
