1. Comparatives and superlatives Task 1: Do the exercise on comparatives and superlatives (in writing) 
The Premier serve’s processor is the most powerful of the three. This server has more drives than the Standard server (four instead of two). All have the same uptime guaranteed and they are equally secure. The Basic plan provides less bandwidth than the other two plans, with the Premier plan offering the most bandwidth. All three plans have the same set-up fees but the monthly fee for the Standard plan is higher than the fee for the Basic plan. Overall, the Premier plan has the highest specifications but is the most expensive.
A: Hi, how is it going? Did you find a hosting service that we can move our website to? B: Yes, I’ll give you the details later but, basically, the company with the best deals has three options and I think we’ll find one that fits our needs. And if we don’t, they can customize if we give them some specifications. A: Sounds good. How about the price? B: Well the set-up fee is the same for all plans: $200. And the monthly charges go from $200 to 500. A: OK, $200 dollars isn’t bad but 500 is a bit high. We’re not a big company. But let’s look at the technical details. Is there enough storage for the information about all music we sell on our websites? We have nearly a terabyte of data thee, I think. B: Yep, we should be able to get every item that we sell onto the website. A: And is there enough bandwidth for all our customers? We had over 10.000 last month. B: yep, I think we’re currently using around two terabytes a month or more. Their plans cover that amount. A: And what about processing power? B: Well, we don’t need the servers to do a lot of processing-they just need to cope with lots of visits to the site. A: OK, sounds good. Let’s have a look at the details. Task 3: Choose the correct answer according to the dialogue (in writing) For this company, $200 per month is ____________. a. cheap b. reasonable c. expensive The company is _____________. a. very small b. medium-sized c. large The current website size is____________. a. 1 GB b. 1TB c. 2TB The current monthly bandwidth usage is about _______. a. 1 GB b. 1TB c. 2TB The company _____________ processing power. a. doesn’t need much b. needs quite a lot c. needs a very large amount The company sells to_____________. a. other companies b. consumers c. kids 3. IT products research Task 1: Study the quotation and complete the template (in writing) In a business, cost expresses the amount of money that is spent on the production or creation of a good or service. Cost does not include a mark-up for profit. From a seller’s point of view, cost is the amount of money spent to produce a product or good. If sellers sold their goods at the same price as they cost to produce, then they would break even. This means that they would not lose money on their sales, but their company would not make a profit either. Therefore, the cost of a product from the buyer’s point of view can be called the price. This is the amount charged for a product by the seller, and it includes both the cost to make the product and the mark-up cost added by the seller to produce a profit. A quotation is used to let a potential customer know the cost of goods or services before they decide to purchase them. When a seller sends a quotation, it commits them to a certain price. This is why quotations are mostly used when costs are relatively stable and the services/goods to be provided can be accurately estimated (labor, cost of raw materials, etc.).
