KRISTEN: Jane, I want to find the weather forecast for tomorrow. What do I need to do?
JANE: First, you need to be connected to the Internet.
KRISTEN: Right. So use the mouse to click on this icon here on the desktop, right?
JANE: Yes, and then wait while the computer dials up.
KRISTEN: Why is it taking so long?
JANE: Because our modem only works at 64k. If you want a faster connection we'll have to upgrade.
KRISTEN: OK. Now I've connected, what do I do next?
JANE: Choose a search engine from your list of favorites and type in some key words.
KRISTEN: How about "weather forecast Chicago"?
JANE: That should do. Now click on 'search'.
KRISTEN: Right. Now I have a menu of different sites.
JANE: Good. Click on the link that seems most helpful.
KRISTEN: Oh, this one's good. It has a satellite map. But looks like it's going to rain.

Congratulations for these free video lessons about English grammar . They are very important to learn ,to review or to improve this international language . However , it's a real pity that some lessons aren't there . Why ? Thank you in advance for your kind reply .
