Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Who do we call when the projector doesn't work? Juan Pablo. He's our IT technical support man. There's a British TV series called The IT Crowd. It's based on the IT (the abbreviation for Information Technology) support team in a company. "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" is the first thing they say whenever someone asks for help. It has become a catchphrase, just like in Spanish. The boy in the video is Irish. Can you notice anything different in his accent? The girl speaks standard British English.

    The video is very interesting and it has got a very difficult dialogue because they don't repeat any word jajajaja. Now when the projector doesn't work you can say it to Marta: "Have you tried turning it off and on again"

    jajajaja I'm agree with Sara and Elena when the projector doesn't work you can say: Have you tried turning it off and on again" or easier you can ask for a control distantly or we can change class that also it makes cold :D

    jajajaj I agree with all them because I think that the teacher should have got a remote control for turning it off and on the projector as often as necessary It's more comfortable because you can do it from your tables. Or we can choose one person in the class who be the attendant of the projector?

    I think you should say to Julio: they shouldn't switch off the heating because we are freezing, so Ana will bring the heater.

    I forgot it: we can talk with the cleaning staff and we should say to them that they must close the windows when they finish his homework because they always forget to do it and then, the classroom is very cold jajaj
