Say what a file actually is
Say what a file is, and open one without guessing.
A file is one thing you have saved — a letter, a photograph, a statement — kept under a name.
It is a sheet of paper in a cabinet, and the name is the handle.
Key points
- A file is one saved thing, kept under a name
- Photographs, letters and bills are all files
What to remember
- Every file has a name, and the name is how it is found again.
- One saved thing, one name, one file.
Try this
Open Documents on your own computer and read the list. Every line is one file.
