Exercise 1 p.38 Audition
Jack: I think that the Internet is here to stay and will change al our lives for the better. For example, I think shopping as we know it will have disappeared by 2020 as it can be done electronically. Goods will be selected on screen and delivered to our door. I already buy books this way from an online bookshop and my mum orders her groceries on the net. I know that there are technical problems about the amount of information we can transmit but computer technology is increasing so fast that I am sure these problems will be solved. I think that in the future our computers will be part of the family. We’ll talk to them, ask them questions, and have access to all the knowledge in the world.
Liam: I think people are attaching too much importance to computers and the Internet. Very few aspects of our daily life require computers. Computer technology is irrelevant when we play sport, cook, drive, speak, have fun and are engaged in most of everyday life activities. You don’t need a keyboard to play basketball. Have you tried surfing the net? It can take fifteen to thirty seconds for a single picture to appear. I think people will become bored with it, and the Internet will just be another fad. I haven’t got a computer and I’m not getting one either.
Caroline: I haven’t got computer at home but I hope that my parents will buy me one for my next birthday. I use a computer at college but with my own machine I’ll be able to stay in touch with my friends and do a lot more research. I think the Internet will makes women’s lives easier. For example, my elder sister is able to look after her baby and carry on working. She usus e-mail to stay in constant contact with her company. In a few years we’ll be accessing the Internet from our TVs.

| Doctor: | Good morning. What is your surname? |
| Ann: | Stelmakh |
| Doctor: | Here is your patient’s file. What’s wrong with you? |
| Ann: | I am shivering and, I think, I have a temperature. I slept bad this night, but in the morning I went to the colledge. When two lessons were over I had to go – I felt so bad. |
| Doctor: | Let me examine you, but first take your temperature. The temperature is too high. Will you open your mouth and say “A-a”. |
| Ann: | A-a-a. |
| Doctor: | The throat is slightly inflamed. Will you take your blouse off, I want to examine you. Breathe in, now breathe out. Cough. Enough. How many days have you been coughing? |
| Ann: | The second day. |
| Doctor: | You have a typical cold. You should stay in bed some days and take medicine. Here is a prescription. |
| Ann: | How many times a day should I take the medicine? |
| Doctor: | Three times a day after meals. Drink hot tea with milk. |
| Ann: | What do you think, how much time have I to stay in bed? |
| Doctor: | Three or four days. I am sure that by the end of the week you will have recovered.(will have felt better). |
| Ann: | Thank you, doctor. |
| Doctor: | Good bye. |
Exercise 2.p.55
I say, when this film of yours finishes? Oh, really, in an hour or so. What a pity! In 10 minutes “the Animal Kingdom” starts at the “1+1” channel. I always watch this programme, every week, I’s true. It’s so interesting. They show wild animals from all over the world: Africa, South and North America, Asia, Australia. I adore animals of Australia. Do you know that it’s the only continent of the world where marsupials (as kangaroos and others) live nowadays? They also have so many different birds, big and small. And sometimes this programme is shot at the Zoo. All the Zoos of the world! We can see the animals we have never seen alive. Panda for example. What a nice creature! It eats only bamboo shoots and it is very careful. It’s almost impossible to meet it in the wild. Not to say that it lives only in China. And the film you are watching looks very much like the film you watched yesterday. Come on, let’s switch over to my favourite programme. And you can watch almost the same film tomorrow – shooting, running and driving like mad, oh yes, and kissing. All right, let’s at least start to watch it. If it’s about Australian animals, we’ll watch it till the very end. Thanks.
