Comic﹕Anti-virus software
【明報專訊】It is important to have anti-virus software (防毒軟件) properly installed on your computer to prevent any viruses or damage to the computer system. Both Bill and Eason know this well. Who's the hacker this time? Whose computer will be safe?
“ Dr Panda: These files are confidential.”
“ Bill: They're all well saved in my laptop. ”
“ Eason: The most destructive computer virus is coming! Hahaha... ”
“ Bill: Forewarned is forearmed! ”
“ Bill: You evil hacker! Luckily I got the powerful anti-virus software! ”
“ Eason: You evil avenger! You've returned the virus to me! ”
■English highway﹕Who's and whose
Who's and whose may sound the same, but they carry different meanings. "Who's" is the short form of "who is" or "who has", and "whose" is used in questions asking who something belongs to.
e.g. Who's hungry?
Do you know whose book this is?
