Activity 8

Benn: You've prepared many components of a computer. (1) What are you going to do?

Indira: Well, I am going to build a PC.

Benn: You have already had a laptop. Why are you interested in building a PC?

Indira: You know, I am keen on graphic design, so I require a computer with large memory and storage capacity. By building a PC myself, (2) I will have a PC which suits my needs and desire.

Benn: Will it take much more time to build by yourself?

Indira: I think so, but (3)  I will do it by myself, it will be a challenge. I do it step by step. I've learned the tutorial on the Internet about how to build a PC, and then I've purchased the hardware I need. To get qualified hardware, I should be precise in choosing them.

Benn: Anyway, how did you get the components?

Indira: (4)  Are you going to buy the components  from online stores?

Benn: Why?

Indira: Online stores offer many choices of components at various specifications and prices. I can choose
the affordable ones.

Benn: I see. By the way, have you ever built a PC before?

Indira: It will be my first. As a beginner, I need more focus and concentration. I should be detailed and precise in assembling them. When I have a problem, (5) I'd like to ask my cousin. He's a computer technician.

Benn: Good luck, then!

Indira: Thanks.
