I. LISTENING You’ll hear five people speaking about the ways they learn news and get information. Listen and match the statements (1—6) with what the people say (a—e). There is one statement you don’t have to use. 1) The speaker explains that he uses only the Internet to find the necessary information. 2) The speaker prefers to listen to the radio to know the latest news. 3) The speaker says that the news is of no great importance to him. 4) The speaker says that not all the data on the Internet is correct. 5) The speaker prefers to watch television to know what’s going on. 6) The speaker explains he tries to get the current news from all the media possible. Текст аудирования: Speaker 1. In my opinion television programmes nowadays have become very aggressive and even dangerous. On the screen the actors are often shown as very cruel characters who shoot and kill and make other people suffer. You can see a lot of aggressive and unpleasant faces there and very cruel behaviour. I watch television very seldom and don’t think it is a healthy entertainment. In my opinion it badly influences the health and behaviour of its viewers. Speaker 2. My doctors tell me preferably to stay in bed. So I seldom leave my flat. All the information I get about the world is through radio and television channels. Some people say television does more harm than good. But this is not my case. Television is my eyes and my ears. I can’t imagine my life if there is no television in the house. Speaker 3. I think television is very important nowadays because it gives everybody a chance to visit faraway countries, to learn more about distant lands, to meet different people and to know a lot of things about their culture, history and habits. I don’t have much money which I can spend on journeys and voyages but with the help of television I’ve been to so many places. Speaker 4. I watch television two-three hours a day. Sometimes when there is an interesting football or hockey match on I can stay longer before the screen but in fact I don’t think I can spend so much time on various talk shows, films and even the news. This year I’m leaving school and have so much to do about my studies. Speaker 5. I watch television a lot. In fact I read weekly TV programmes very attentively and find most interesting documentaries. I am sure one can learn so much about different sides of our life from such films.
