Текст аудирования:
1
Woman: Look at this story here, for example. I mean, why do we, the public, need to read about film stars getting divorced? You know, it’s not exactly in the public interest, is it? It’s not really news, either, is it? And these poor people, they get chased by journalists and photographers everywhere they go just so that we can read rubbish like this. If you ask me, it’s the editors that are to blame.

Young man: Do you know how many stations there are in this city? Thirty! Can you believe it? Now, you’d think that with 30 stations we’d have lots of variety. But no. all 30 play the same pop music. That’s all. There are no news and discussion channels; no classical music or jazz channels; no comedy or drama channels. Just pop, j pop, pop. It’s so boring.

Woman: We don’t see much of each other anymore, and that upsets me. My husband, you see, thought it would be a great idea to treat Diana to her own set for her birthday. And ever since then, well, she’s just up in her room staring at the box all the time. She even takes her meals upstairs and eats there instead of with us. I know she prefers educational programmes like documentaries and the news, and that’s good I suppose, but even so, that’s all she ever does.
4
Man: When people use them considerately, they’re wonderful. I listen to mine a lot. I think it’s a much more reliable way to learn the news than the TV, for example. But, you know, what I really don’t like is when people take them to the beach or to a park and they play them there really loudly. That annoys me a lot because, well, people are forcing their music on everyone else and that’s just not fair, is it?

Young woman: I don’t know that much about it, to be honest. I don’t have my own PC and I just occasionally use one. A lot of my friends at university are really into it, they’ve got their own pages on social networking sites like Facebook, and they chat online with their friends and all that. But I don’t think I’m missing out on anything, really. I’m also a bit worried about how safe it is. Some of my friends do quite a lot of shopping online. vou know, for CDs and books for college and downloading music and that kind of thing. I’d rather not risk it. myself. You hear so much about credit card theft and things like that, don’t you?

Man: Personally, I never buy them, but my wife gets one every week called Celebrity Week and, frankly, I think it’s total rubbish. I mean, there are no interesting articles in it... ever. Not one. It just has boring stories about the lives of TV and film stars. I’ve never heard of most of them. Because I don’t watch TV, you see, so it’s all meaningless to me. Anyway, it’s cheap and she likes it. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer a good book myself.

Woman: My son worries me because, well, he seems to be on it all the time. We bought it for him a few years ago so that we could keep in touch with him when he’s out of the house. They’re great for worrying parents like us because if it’s getting late and he’s not back home yet we can just give him a call and find out where he is. But the problem is he seems to be addicted to it. He’s always talking to somebody. When he’s at home it’s always ringing. It’s not the cost, although it’s not cheap, I have to say. No ... it’s his health I’m worried about. I’ve read some frightening reports about what they can do to your health, like causing cancer in the brain. It’s very worrying.
8
Girl: You can’t really trust the reports you see, can you? I mean, because all the other programmes before and after the news are so exciting and sensational, they try to make the news look the same. You know, it has to be exciting and dramatic. Sometimes that seems to be more important to them than simply telling the truth, and that’s wrong.
