READING DIAGRAMS READING DIAGRAMS

What is a diagram?What is a diagram?

A diagram is a plan, sketch or drawing designed to demonstrate or explain how

something works or to clarify the relationship between the parts of a whole. It’s also a

2D geometric symbolic representation of information according to some visualization

technique. Sometimes, the technique uses a 3D visualization which is then projected

onto the 2D surface (isometric). The word graph is sometimes used as a synonym for

diagram. Diagram has two meanings in common sense:

1. A collective term for any visual information device, like the term "illustration" often

used as a representative term, to stand for the whole class of technical genres,

including graphs and tables.

2. The specific class of visual display that shows qualitative data with shapes which

are sometimes connected by lines, arrows, or other visual links.

CharacteristicsCharacteristics Visual formatting devices.

Do not display quantitative data, but rather relationships and abstract information.

Represented by shapes which are connected by lines, arrows, or other visual links.

GRAMMAR: THE PRESENT PREGRESSIVEGRAMMAR: THE PRESENT PREGRESSIVE Every question generates an answer. This answer can be a long answer (like an

affirmative sentence) or a short answer. Short answers are formed by the affirmative or



negative word (yes / no), the personal pronoun and the auxiliary verb for the present

progressive (plus the negative word in the case of negations)

Ж Ж Short affirmative / negative answersShort affirmative / negative answers

In affirmative answers, you cannot use contractions. Look at the following chart.

Yes, I amYes, I am

Yes, he isYes, he is

Yes, she isYes, she is

Yes, it isYes, it is (Short affirmative answer)(Short affirmative answer)

HOW TO FORMAT A “SECONDARY” HARD DRIVEHOW TO FORMAT A “SECONDARY” HARD DRIVE When you format a computer hard drive you will lose everything that is on the drive.

Therefore, it is very important to back up anything you might want later. Additionally, if

you are going to be formatting and installing XP you need to make sure you have the

discs for any applications or third party hardware you use since you will need to re-install

your programs and drivers after re-installing Windows.

Take a moment to think of anything that you have on the computer that you wouldn't

want to lose. Generally, you probably want everything in your “My Documents” folder,

and you also want to save things like your favorites or bookmarks from your Web



browser. Remember that each user on the computer has his or her own “My Documents”

folder, Desktop items and Favorites. Save everything to a CD, DVD or a hard drive that

you won't be formatting.

Step 1Step 1:: Right-Click on the “My Computer”

icon either on your desktop or in the Start

Menu and select “Manage.”

Step 2Step 2:: A new window titled “Computer

Management” comes up. Select “Storage”

from the left hand side by clicking it once,

then, select “Disk Management (local)” from

the right side by double-clicking it.

Step 3:Step 3: Now in the lower part of the main

frame (right side) of the window you should

see a nice visual of all your hard drives.

Each line is a different drive. Each box on a line (with a colored bar at the top and a size

displayed in MB or GB) is a partition on the drive. Partitions are separations of space on a

drive. Unless you are doing something specific that requires multiple partitions, you only

want one partition per drive.

Step 4:Step 4: First you must delete any existing partitions on the drive you are going to

format. Do this by right-clicking on the partition's box and selecting “Delete Partition...”

Since you already know that you will be deleting everything on the drive, and have

already backed everything up, you can safely say yes to any warning the computer

presents you with.

Step 5:Step 5: If there are multiple partitions make sure you have saved everything off them

since they might each have different drive letters. Then repeat the above step for each

of them. If you only want to format one partition that is OK and you can continue to the

next step without deleting the other partitions.



Step 6:Step 6: The box for the drive to be formatted should now have a black bar at the top of

it and should say “Unallocated” under its size. Right click on it and select “New

Partition...” The New Partition Wizard comes up.

Step 7:Step 7: In the New Partition Wizard click next. On the next page make sure “Primary

Partition” is selected and click next. Now make the size equal to the maximum, and click

next again. On the next page the computer will automatically choose the first available

drive letter for the new drive. However, if you like you can choose another drive letter

from the drop-down menu, and then click next.

Step 8:Step 8: Finally the New Partition Wizard asks if you would like to format the new

partition and if so what format. Choose “NTFS” as it is faster and more secure. Leave

the “Allocation unit size” as “Default.” In the “Volume label” field enter whatever name

you want the drive to have. Simple is better. Avoid using spaces.

Finally, if the drive is brand new and has never been used before, check the “Perform

a quick format” box. If the drive has been used before leave this box unchecked. Leave

the “Enable file and folder compression” box unchecked and click next. Then, on the

next page click finish.

Step 9:Step 9: The wizard will now spend a little while formatting the drive. On old or large

drives this may take a while. Do not close the “Computer Management” window until it

finishes. You will know it is done when the word under the size of the drive changes from

“Formatting” to “Healthy” and the name and drive letter you chose for the new drive

shows.
