admit that they are convenient. 5. Harry, my digital camera won’t work. Have a look, please, what the problem is. May the battery be flat? 6. We’ll have to send our tape recorder to be repaired. When I press the button – there is no sound. But I think it will be repaired free of charge as we’ve got our guarantee certificate.
b) My friend Andy is a techno freak. He has always been interested in gadgets. At home he has got a digital camera, an MP3 player, a PDA and certainly a TV set and a CD player. Lately he has had a new passion (for) a camcorder. He travels a lot and makes amateur videofilms. And then he edits them using the software of his laptop.

Rachel: You know, Tony, I’ve got a problem with my computer (laptop). Tony: Oh, that’s too bad. What seems to be the problem?
Rachel: The signal is very poor. I can hardly read the text on the screen and besides I think there’s a virus on my hard drive.
Tony: How long has it not been working properly? (has it been working like this?) Rachel: Let me think. I think it began ten or eight days ago.
Tony: Probably the battery is getting flat? Rachel: But the situation is the same if I plug it in.
Tony: I see. You know, Rachel, I’m not very good at repairing computers. I think you’d better send it away to be repaired.
Rachel: OK. I will. I wish it would not take them a lot of time.
