Introduce 3 good web pages

I will introduce my 3 favorite sites, but I'm not sure these web pages are good or not. Anyway, First web page is about basketball. Because I like basketball and to watch NBA, I sometimes use this web page to search what is going on NBA.
Now NBA is off season, but soon Draft will coming, so I use this web page very often.
Next web page is about F1. I also like F1, so I often use this web page to search where the next stage is or who the top is. In this season, Big new star appeared,
so I really take care it.
The third web page is about iPhone. Because I knew about this in computer class, I'm really interested in it, so I checked this web page.
All of above are my favorites web pages.

What is Social Engineering?

Social Engineering is a kind of fraud. When people try to get money in this way, they usually pretend to be a person who is close to the objects.
For example, in Japan, recently there are the people who try to get money in this way which is called "OreOre fraud". Their target is old people because they have much money and are cheated easily.
Fraud pretend to be a son or daughter of old people and tell a lie to cheat them. The lie is like this, "I'm in trouble and I really need money to solve this problem, so please pay the money into my account."
The important thing is that don't say the name, just say "I" to cheat and if old people ask them "Does your voice changed?", just say "I catch a cold."
I don't understand why the old people were cheated in this way, but clearly, many old people were cheated and taken their money.
Now, this type fraud is unusual because this way is well known, so we can easily recognized. However, fraud created new way. They changed a person to pretend. They pretend to be a policeman or a fireman and this way becomes mainstream. We can find out whether they are fraud or not if we pay attention it.
What will happen if we completely protect our money from fraud? Do they disappear? well, I don't think so, I think they will create new ways and we will try to protect ourselves and it will continue like vicious circle.

What do I know about Mac?

Actually, I don't have a lot of information about Mac, but I know some special features about it.

First of all, its desktop is different from Windows. Windows just has each icon, for example Micro Soft Word, Power Point, and Internet Explore or Mozilla on desktop, but Mac has good pictures of these things under the desktop. Because of this feature, users can quickly and easily choose what they want to do the next although they are already woking on Internet or other things. How? Usually, Windows takes a time to find it if users already did anotherthing. However, Mac is different. It clearly appere under the desktop, so users can easily find out that.

The second good feature is that Mac will never be attacked by virus. I don't know how it completely protect itself, but clearly this feature is really good. As you know, Windows sometimes easily gets virus, so you can understand how Mac is good.

And that's all I know about Mac.

My History with Computer

This is my first assignment for Writing Work Shop.

When I was a pupil, I learned computer in a class. Before I leaned about it, I neither used nor touched computer. Therefore, computer was unknown tool for me.
However, because my computer teacher had enough knowledge and technique to teach about it for students who are not familiar with computer, it was easy to know the way of using computer correctly.
At first, he taught how to use power point. I remember that I made circle again and again, and when he saw it, he suggested, "Why don't you create basketball shape with using circle?" I tried to make it, but I couldn't do it because I only knew making circle. I asked him, "Teacher! I don't know how to make basketball shape!! So I can't do it!" When he heard my complain, he smiled and showed me how to make basket ball shape by doing slowly. Because of his good demonstration, I could make basketball shape correctly. I was happy.
