    This document provides a series of exercises to test understanding of computer memory terminology and concepts: 1. It asks students to identify true or false statements about RAM, volatile memory, and DIMMs. 2. Students are asked to match memory abbreviations like TB, GB, MB, KB, B, and b with their full terms. 3. Students complete sentences about bits, bytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes to practice using these terms. 4. Students are given definitions of relative clauses and asked to choose the correct relative pronouns to complete them. 5. More computer terminology like CPU, chip, buses, clock speed, and control unit are defined using relative

    Unit 3 Inside the system

    Name: Jose Juan Calvo Martin

    1 Are these sentences true or false?


    1 RAM stands for Random Access Memory.    True     False
    2 If memory is volatile, it means that information is lost when the computer is turned off.    
    True     False
    3 RAM is non-volatile.    True     False
    4 ROM is volatile.    True     False
    5 DIMMs can be used to expand RAM capacity.    True     False

    2 For each abbreviation, type in the correct unit of memory.


    1 TB Terabyte 3 MB Megabyte 5 B Byte
    2 GB Gigabyte 4 KB (or K) Kilobyte 6 b bit

    Now listen to the words and practise saying them.

    3 Now complete these sentences by typing in a unit of memory from Exercise 2.


    1 A bit is the smallest unit of memory, equivalent to a single character. Eight of these make
    a byte .
    2 A megabyte is approximately one million bytes.
    3 One of the largest units of memory is a terabyte – equivalent to all the books in a large library.
    4 A DVD-RW can usually store 4.7 gigabytes of data.
    5 A byte is around 1000 bytes.

    4 C omplete the rules for defining relative clauses by choosing a word from the drop-down
    menu.
    HELP? 1 We use the relative pronoun who to refer to people.
    2 We use the relative pronoun which to refer to things.
    3 We can use that to replace which and who.
    4 Relative pronouns can be left out when they are the object of the relative clause, for
    example: The amount of memory (that) you need depends on how many programs you want to run at the
    same time.

    5 Complete these definitions from an ICT dictionary by typing in terms from the box. Then
    choose the correct word from the drop-down menu to make defining relative clauses.

    chip    buses    central processing unit    clock speed    control unit

    1 The central processing unit , or CPU, is like a ’brain’ which performs tasks for your computer.
    2 The CPU is built into a single chip that executes program instructions and
    coordinates activities within the system.
    3 The control unit is the part of the processor which is responsible for loading and
    interpreting the individual instructions that make up a computer program.
    4 Clock speed is measured in gigahertz; for example, a processor running at 4Ghz would give you
    all the performance - you need to run most applications.
    5 Buses are electrical channels that allow devices inside the computer to
    communicate.
