Текст аудирования:
Rhona: [Estuary English accent] OK, 1, 2, 3 Go!
Simon: Twenty years is a long time and technology is ...
Meg: Hey! Don’t read it! Give me that! Use your notes!
Simon: OK ... ready?
Rhona: Yeah. Go!
Simon: Twenty years is a long time and technology is changing very fast. I mean, just think of all the things that have happened in the last twenty ...
Meg: Hold on! Stop the watch! You’re going too fast, Simon! Speak more slowly.
Simon: OK. Just think of all the things that have happened in the last twenty years! Twenty years ago mobile phones were as big as bricks. How many people had a personal computer? Only a few.
Rhona: Stop! You should pause after a question ...
Meg: That’s right ... give them time to think about it!
Simon: OK ... How many people had a personal computer? Only a few. And nobody had ever heard of DVDs or MP3s! So, obviously, it’s not easy to predict how technology will change our lives in the next twenty years. But, anyway, that’s what I’m going to try to do. I’m going to talk about three aspects of life: education, transport and leisure.
Meg: That’s better, but look up from your notes sometimes to check that your audience is following you.
Simon: Right ... First of all, education. Some people say that in the future we will only have virtual schools. The students will stay at home and follow their lessons on the Internet. What do you think of that? Does it sound good? Well, it probably won’t happen, and I certainly hope it doesn’t. Education is about more than reading texts and doing exercises. It’s about learning to get on with other people. So, although I’m sure that computers will be more important in the schools of the future, I don’t believe that technology will replace schools.
Rhona: Good! Keep going.
Simon: Secondly, moving on to transport, some bad news ... our streets will still be full of cars. In fact, there will be even more cars than before. However, because of the danger of global warming, we will have cars that don’t pollute the air. We will still spend hours and hours sitting in ... in ... traffic jams. I know it’s traffic jams, but what kind of traffic jams?
Meg: Take it easy, Simon. It’s enormous traffic jams. But it doesn’t matter. If you can’t remember a word, just change it for another one — huge or very big, or whatever ... OK?
Simon: Yeah, sorry ... ready? We will still spend hours and hours sitting in huge traffic jams, but at least the air will be cleaner. Because of the traffic, a lot of people will choose to stay at home to work. Right, turning to leisure, I don’t think TV will be very different from today. There will just be more of it. What I mean is that there will be more channels, more adverts and probably more programmers that you have to pay to watch. However, I’m not sure that we will watch as much television as we do today. Computer games will become so good, and so realistic that they will be the most popular leisure activity — and not just for young people. So, to sum up, on the one hand, technology won’t change our lives much in some aspects such as education and transport. But on the other hand, new technology will help solve the problem of global
warming. I suppose I’m quite optimistic about the future. Actually, there’s only one thing that really worries me. It worries me a lot! In twenty years’ time, I will be 37 years old!
Meg: OK! That’s good.
Rhona: Brilliant! But let’s try again, and I’m not sure you should finish with that personal information, you know, about being 37 years old ...
Meg: Yeah, and it was maybe a little bit too long. You need to stick to the time limit.
