After a period of time, Lin Hong saw a few lines of green English appear on the black background screen in the middle of the monitor, and the top first row displayed "apple][", which is the model of this computer, and the second row was "dos_version_3.3_systtem_master". The third row shows a time, which means January 1983.

At the bottom, there is a separate "]" symbol constantly beating, which is a command line prompt, from which you can enter commands, but now Lin Hong doesn't know the meaning of this symbol.

He was just looking at what it would look like when the computer was turned on, after all, it was the scene he had been waiting for for a long time.

This is the computer?

Looking at what was displayed on the monitor, Lin Hong felt a little lost, which was too far from what he thought in his heart. In the imagination, a computer should be a very powerful machine that can perform very complex functions. But now, it seems that there is nothing.

But he was only disappointed, as if he had been waiting for a long-awaited landscape, and at first glance, it was not at all as good as the legend suggested.

Lin Hong knew that this was because he didn't know how to operate this thing, so he couldn't see how powerful it was. After all, Lus had detailed how he had used computers to do things that shocked him. Although he didn't see it himself, Lus's description could also imagine the wonder of those things.

In addition, Lin Hong has also seen the power of arcade machines, those games are extremely exquisite, aren't they also the function of computers?

Lin Hong realized that if he wanted to learn the computer well, he must improve his English reading and writing skills, whether it was the thick manual or the content in the computer, all of them were in English.

Lin Hong walked to the bookshelf, took the previous Chinese book back in his hand, and quickly flipped through it.

This is a textbook that mainly introduces a language called basic programming language, the author focuses on how to write programs on Apple computers using this language, but does not touch on the specific operation of Apple computers, and the author has made it clear in the preface that he assumes that the person reading the book has mastered the basic operation of Apple computers.

Although Lin Hong now really wants to use this computer quickly, he has no choice, he has to improve his English reading and writing skills before he can understand the computer manual.

Past experience has taught him that if he wants to save time in learning anything, it is best to ask experienced people for advice, which is often much more difficult than groping alone.

So, Lin Hong found his mother, who was cleaning up his room, and asked directly: "Mom, I want to quickly improve my English reading ability, can you give me some advice?" ”

Feng Wan was stunned for a moment, and then asked strangely, "Isn't your English already very good?" ”

Lin Hong shook his head: "My speaking is fine, but my reading ability is very poor, I only know some simple English words, and I don't know most words at all." ”

Feng Wan suddenly realized that her son's spoken language was learned through the radio, just like a child in life learning to speak, although he could speak, he could not necessarily read or write.

In this way, it seems that it is a problem with the son's English vocabulary.

According to the current education system, English will only be taught in school after junior high school, but since her son offered to give advice on his own, Feng Wan was also very happy.

Feng Wan gave him several suggestions, on the one hand, to read the memorization of words, on the other hand, to read the relevant textbooks, to learn English grammar and sentence structure, after all, English grammar and Chinese are quite different, sometimes just knowing the words can not fully understand the meaning of the whole sentence.

Feng Wan immediately found English textbooks from the first to third years of junior high school from the bookshelf, and there was also a thick English-Chinese dictionary.

"You have no problem speaking at all, and you should learn it with half the effort. But there's one thing I'm going to correct you. Feng Wan said to Lin Hong, "Your accent is more New York now, similar to Cook's." But in the United States, the New York accent is not very popular, and this accent is often referred to as a 'country' accent. ”

Due to her work, Feng Wan often comes into contact with foreign guests, and her colleagues and friends around her go abroad a lot, so she knows about it.

In fact, the New York accent is not standard American English, just as Mandarin with a Shanghainese accent is not standard Mandarin.

In New York, immigrants from all over the world can be found, and the New York accent is a hodgepodge of northern and southern accents, Irish, German, Yiddish, Latin, and some Caribbean accents. According to a survey by two professors of language at New York University, New York accents are the least popular English language in the United States.

In the United States, because the South used to be poorer than the North, the Southern accent was considered more earthy and did not sound "classy". The most standard accent is the accent of the North Chicago area, which is recognized as "Mandarin" in American English, and is used by announcers on television.

The New York accent sounds reckless and uncultured, and many Americans elsewhere don't like it. However, there are also people who work on Wall Street who specialize in learning New York accents in order to come across as tough and difficult to deal with.

So, in everyone's ears, Roy Cook and Lin Hong's accents are very strange, as if the pronunciation is very non-standard.

Feng Wan told Lin Hong this, just because she was worried that he would encounter any problems in this regard in the future, and reminded him that if he wanted to, he would correct his accent. But if it can't be corrected, it basically doesn't matter, anyway, the language is used to communicate, and it's good to be able to understand it.

Next, Feng Wan carefully explained the basic pronunciation rules of English to Lin Hong according to the textbook, such as how many syllables a word is, how to pronounce the stress at the end of the vowel, and so on.

This pronunciation rule is the most basic thing, just like pinyin in Chinese, as long as you master it, you can learn words according to the dictionary in the future.

As a result, Feng Wan was shocked by Lin Hong's super memory, she just spoke once, and Lin Hong's pronunciation of words was basically no problem, and she was able to draw inferences from one another. She originally wanted to tell her son more, but there was nothing to talk about later.

In desperation, she had to explain a few words and continue to help Lin Hong clean up the room.

Lin Hong returned to the study, first quickly flipped through the English textbooks from the first to the third year of junior high school, reading as he flipped over, correlating his previous spoken language with the actual words one by one, and then focused on the relevant grammar. And this process only took about half an hour.

Half an hour later, he picked up the English-Chinese dictionary and began to flip through it quickly, which was what he really wanted to see, and he planned to read the computer manual after devouring the dictionary.
