Текст аудирования:
William: I just want to say that some soap operas are rude, violent and are full of bad language. And some other soaps are absolutely rubbish! EastEnders has become so irritating, boring and primitive. It is always the same in every episode! Everyone in my class watches EastEnders but I don’t know how they can. Last time I watched it, everything that happened was bad! Coronation Street is also really untrue and depressing with all its bullying and crime. How can everyone in one town or village be so unhappy? Emmerdale is not at all realistic. It is supposed to be a farm soap, but you never see any animals! The only soap I watch is Neighbours, but even Neighbours is becoming more serious. I thought soaps were supposed to be fun. They need to become better or I’ll turn the TV off!
Catherine: I think that soaps are realy good — they are entertaining and there is nothing better than to come home and watch them every night. I don’t think I will ever get bored! Most of all I love EastEnders! It is about real-life dramas, even though they are untrue (a little bit). EastEnders is so amazing, not because of the actors and not because of the storylines. The real reason why EastEnders is so good is the following: no matter how hard or miserable your life is, watching their depressing lives makes you feel much better about your own life! Coronation Street is also extremely entertaining and more realistic. It has a good balance of humour and tragedy. Emmerdale has a sensational storyline and all the characters are wonderful as well. I have been watching Emmerdale for about two years now but I don’t have a favourite, because all the characters are so brilliant and the actors are splendid ... As BBC Canada says, “In a country where it rains every other day, TV HAS to be this good. And it really is very good.”
