Now a computer is able to teach you English. It will soon be able to translate any language for you, too. It is one more result of the development of microprocessors — those tiny pans of a computer commonly known as \In a few years you won't need the international language of English.
A computer can be a good teacher if you really want to learn the language. You can sit in front of a screen and practice. The computer will tell you when you are correct and when you are wrong. It can even talk to you because the silicon chips are able to change electronic impulses into sounds.
So think of it. You will be able to teach yourself at your own pace. You will waste very little time, and you can work at home. And if after all that, you still can't speak English, you can always use the translating machine. In a few years, therefore, perhaps there will be no need for BBC Modern English, no more textbooks or teachers of English. Instead of buying an exciting new textbook, the computer will ask you to replace it with microprocessor 2002. Think of that, you can get fast and efficient language learning and translating facilities, and there will be no more tears or embarrassing moments. One little problem is that a computer can't laugh yet — but scientists are working on it. Happy learning! 76. Silicon chips are ______. (D)
