Exercise 8, page 105.0:00
Speaker A to be honest, I don't really enjoy watching the news.0:06
All those wars, disasters just get me down.0:12
And after a hard day at work, that's something I don't want.0:16
Ok, I watch the bulletins like everyone else.0:20
But why don't they report something happy for a change?0:23
Something to brighten our mood?0:25
Speaker B. No, I always switch over.0:30
These things happen so far away, and anything that does affect me, well, I'll know about it soon enough.0:35
I don't need to be warned in advance.0:41
I want entertainment on the television, not information.0:44
If I want information, I'll read a newspaper.0:49
Speaker well, yes, but only the first few minutes.0:53
If I know it's about to start, I'll switch on.0:59
It's all you need to know, really.1:02
I mean, who needs to know all the details?1:05
We fool ourselves that we're informed, but we never really get the complete picture.1:07
And anyway, I only have so much time in the day and there's so much to get done at home.1:13
Speaker D I watch it every night and sometimes in the morning.1:22
It's interesting to see how a story changes over the course of a single day.1:28
Information leaks out and at the end we're probably none the wiser.1:33
They tell us just enough, but that doesn't cover it for me.1:39
Listen to what they're not telling us, is what I always say.1:43
Speaker E. Well, I believe that it's a sign of an educated mind to be and want to be informed.1:49
Society is not just me, my family and the people in my neighbourhood.1:58
What goes on out there has a very real impact on me, and I'd be a fool to think it didn't.2:03
If you don't follow the events, you're bound to get left behind.2:10
Speaker F. My wife watches the news on TV every night.2:16
Even when I'm in the room, I'm not really listening because I'm always busy with something.2:22
It's not that I don't care about what's going on in the world, it's just that I can't really concentrate on anything that's on TV for more than 10 minutes.2:28
I suppose if some major news story broke out, my wife would let me know.2:36
