Mindset for IELTS - Foundation (Unit 10: Science And Technology)


Read the article again in Exercise 5. Then, look at the information from the article and complete the paraphrased sentences using ONE to THREE words.

The internet is still quite a new development in technology, however it is impossible to think about life without it. It works in a very simple way. It takes information and sends it from one computer to another. It is not a difficult job, but it is a very big one. There are hundreds of millions of computers connected to the internet at the same time. However, they don’t all do the same thing. Some computers are like a digital box that store information, (like videos or music files) that people see, read or listen to. These stores of information are called servers, and there are three categories.


. The first type is a file server, which holds, ordinary documents. The second is a mail server for sending and receiving emails. The third is a web server for web pages. We know these servers store information but how do people find this information or send it to each other? For this, you need a client.

. A client is a computer that gets information from a server and delivers it to another computer. When you go online on your smartphone, you are using it as a client. When two computers on the internet exchange information, they are known as peers.

. Peer-to-peer (P2P) communication is when you send someone a photo on your smartphone. When that person sees this photo, your smartphone is working as the server. It stores the photo and the other person‘s device is the client, which searches for your information.

It then displays the photo on the other person's screen.
In some exam questions, you will need to complete a sentence using one to three words. The sentence you need to complete rewrites the information from the text in different words. This is called paraphrasing. Para phrasing is reading something, thinking about its meanings and putting it in your own words.

Paraphrasing is important as you will need to understand it in Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing exams.
