Text: What is a computer?
Parágrafo	Ideia central de cada parágrafo
(1) Nowadays, in most modern societies, almost everybody has an idea about what a computer is. We depend on computers in every aspect of our lives whether we know how to use one or not. But does everyone really know how a computer works inside?	(a) Termos da língua inglesa utilizados em diferentes línguas. (3)
(2) A computer is an electronic machine which processes data and provides the results of the processing as information. There are three basic steps in the computing process. The first one is input, which consists of feeding data into the computer’s memory. Then comes the processing: the program is run and the computer processes the data by performing a set of instruction. The third and final step is the output furnished by the computer, which allows the user to see the results either in printed form or on the screen.	(b) Dependência do computador nas sociedades modernas. (1)
(3) The world of computers has created a specific language of its own. English words such as software and hardware are used worldwide and have been borrowed by many different languages. Software is information in the form of data and programs, and hardware refers to the electronic and mechanical parts that make up a computer system.	(c) Nem todos sabem utilizar o computador, apesar de sua presença na maioria das sociedades. (4)
(4) Despite the constant presence of computers in most societies, it is a great mistake to believe that everybody in the world is computer-literate, i.e., is familiar with computers and knows how to use them properly. In some contemporary societies, many people still have no idea about the existence of computers, and even in the so-called developed countries, there are lots of people who do not know or do not care about what a computer is.	(d) Definição do termo computador e descrição das etapas básicas do processo de computação. (2)
