Comprehension OE (16 marks)

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

We had our computer lesson yesterday. The teacher taught us how to use the software ’Powerpoint‘ to create multimedia presentation slides. A multimedia slide consists of text, graphics, animation, video and sound. Texts are simply words. Graphics are drawings or pictures. After we had created the text and put in the graphics, we were taught how to animate or to move them around. All of us were happy to be able to create our own slide shows. It was certainly better to have a multimedia presentation slide than a plain text slide which consisted only of words.

A multimedia presentation slide is more interesting and gives more information.
