This episode is called “Using an Online Email Program” (or email service). It’s a dialogue between Luigi and Selma using a lot of common vocabulary that we “employ” (that we use) when we talk about using email online. Let’s get started.

Luigi: What do you think of this new email program?

Selma: I don’t know yet. I just started using it. The interface is pretty intuitive, but I haven’t figured out how to sort my inbox by date.

Luigi: That’s easy. Let me show you. All you have to do is hit one of these buttons and it’ll sort automatically.
