<interlocutor> OK. Now that we have known each other, we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to ask each of you a question. Now you are the first one. And how often do you watch TV? </interlocutor> 
<sp1> Oh. </sp1>

<interlocutor> MmWhat programs do you like best? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Perhaps the news [Wn-l] broadcasting, I should say that. </sp1> 
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Oh because as you know, we college students live in the campus and not have such opportunity to know about the outside world. So, I think that through T.. watching TV, it's it's really good way for me to get in contact [S2] with the society and to make preparations for my future job. And practice myself to get well prepared for my future practice and job, ect. I think, that's all. Thank you. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK.??? Where do you usually get the latest news, from newspapers, video, radio, TV or internet? </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think the most effecefficient way to get information is from the internet, I think. Because I stay in theschool. And there is no TV inin school. So, I can just go to the computer laboratory and go to the internet. And I think internet is a good way to provide a lot a lot of latest information. Mm it is very new and it is very quickly more theit. There are a lot of news in the in the internet [W2e-ai]. And we can go to a lot of station just like 263 and many others andand then I even can chat with other er bug other bugs to got more information, more useful, not only the news, but also other information, just like how to pass the spoken English test and how to pass the CET-4 and others. That's all. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok. Now you please. What would life be like without mass media. Without mass media, what would life be like? </inerlocutor>
<sp3> I am sorry, can you repeat it to me? </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. Without mass media, yeah, for example, TV, newspaper, internet and so on, yeah? Without mass media, what would life be like? </interlocutor>
<sp3> I think if we don't have the TV, the radio. And the small world will get very big to us. You can't know the world outside. We can't get the news from all over the world. And I think time would be less colorful and interesting. You you are in you are in the circle that's is very small. You can't get many news. And I think it is very it is very unconvenient. You can't get you can't get information to your relatives or to friends and all of your friends. And I think if there are if there are not these if there are not TV and radio and all of these things, many people will get unemployed. Because these media can o..can offer can offer many opportunities to people. That's all. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK, thank you. Now let's move on to something more specific. Yes, I'd like you to talk about the the mass media. You will be given a set of four pictures showing different kinds of mass media. Please say something about your picture. You'll have about one minute to prepare. And you'll have one and a half minutes to give your presentation. Ok, here are your pictures. Remember to limit your presentation to your own picture. Ok Ok. Now, would you please begin? </interlocutor>
<sp2> I thinkmm mm among the four media [We-e][S2], TV is a good is a good way. Because it is the cheapest and normal way. Every family has its own TV and there are many newser in TV. And you can see the you can see the person by your direct feeling. And </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor>OK. I am sorry. Yes, remember to limit your presentation to your own picture. You are the last. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp2> Oh, this one. Sorry, sorry. ???I think to see erm to got the news from the newspaper is also the way because newspaper is very cheap [Pp-er]. Erm you can got a lot of latest [Wa-a] news from it. First, erm newspaper erm, you can you can save it for many times when you want to check the informasome useful information. You can got it out erm after a long time. And second, it is very cheapcheapest just like what I said just now. You can got only you can pay only three onlyeronly some cents to got a newspaper. And there are many many news in it. You can got some entertainment news, some study news, some sports news. Every week, I got the football news because I like football very much, but I have no chance to watch the to watch the play [Wp-ri] to watch thethe match on the point. So, I can only got news from the newspaper. Andermand if I can't imaI can't imagine if there is no newspaper. If there is no newspaper, we can't got such information. And I think it is a good way to communicate. Mmmm now there are many manyerm articles to solve the people's psychology psychological [S2] problem in some in some newspaper. Many many people can write the letters to the reporter and they can solve the problem. But if without this media [We-e][S2], we can't do this. And </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK. Sorry, I have to interrupt you. Now you please. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> As we all know that as the development of technology and science [Pe-r], almost every household owns a TV set. And I should say that TV is get more and more popular now ?? And first of all, it is very convenient for us and keep people get in touch with the outside world. And secondly, it presents a vivid and latest picture to us to us all and it impressed impresses us very much deeply deep to our heart. And mm also, mm just as the coin has two sides [Wi-e], TV set is a no exception. If one indulge this indulge themselves in it, or put too much time on it, it will do does harm to both their eyes and their body. So, I think TV set itself is neither good or bad, it all depends on how long we use of it. As long as we got proper use of it, I think it will still play a great role in our daily life. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Now you please. </interlocutor>
<sp3> In my picture, the picture shows that the boy is using the computer to get probably the CET scores. He is using the mouse and keyboard and very skillfully. I think internet maybe is the quickest media to get the news because the internet can give you many news in the quickest time. And I think the IT industry [S2] is probably the quickest industry [S2] in China. It develops in in the ???? that many people can see. And because in China, more and more families are getting wealthy. And I think they can afford to buy a computer. In my class, almost every dormitory has a in has a computer. And because my major is international economics and trade. And I think computer is very important to me. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Yes ok. Ok Thank you. Now we all have some idea of various kinds of mass media, I'd like you to discuss the topic further and see if you can agree on which is the best way to get the latest news. During the discussion, you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify your own point. And you will have about four and a half minutes for the discussion. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Ok, now please. </interlocutor> 
<sp2> I.. can I be the first? </sp2>
<inerlocutor> Yeah. </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think, my point is that internet is the best way to got the latest information. I think the information in the internet on the internet is more useful than the information got from the TV or others. Maybe it is my it is my way to got the news. I think it is the best. And there are many information we can't got from the newspaper and the TV. But we can got from the stations the internet stations. Just like the the foreign the foreign teaching the foreign teach from thethe foreign the foreign universities. We can only got the news from the internet. And we can send e-mail through the internet. But we can't do this from the TV or others. Because the internet [S3] is enenter emphasize the the communication of each other. Now the only one side to look or watch or say. You can communication you can communicate each other. I think that's the most important. And that internet is the ??? modern way to communicate. So, I think it is the best way and we should develop the way. Although it is very expensive. </sp2>
<inerlocutor> How about you? Ok. Argue with each other. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes. As far as I am concerned, I should say that I should say ??? with your opinion [Wn-l]. Yes, I do think that internet [W2e-ai] is the, at present is the best way for us to get the furlatest latest information. We all know that, but we my major in the management information system. So I should say that the internet is also very important to me. As we all know that, nowdays as the technology as development of technology, internet [W2e-ai] especially when it is interconnected with the international web. So it it will be it will become most convenient for us. Whenever you tastart the computer, you can get a lot of information you wanted and also, on the other hand, you can, you ???for example to send e-mail to your friends. It's verit's very much faster than through letters and by phone calls even. Also I think that you can cut off something useful for future use. You know it's very convenient now. So, I, in conclusion, I think that internet for us is very important. And I think it will get more and more popular in the near future. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Do you think of this? </interlocutor>
<sp3> I have to say I agree with the two of you. I will always I also see that internet is the best media. Because the college student, the TV is, in my university, we can't we can't watch TV everyday. And I think the pa the newspaper is too slow [Wl-n]. The internet is the quickest media that I can get the news. And I think the radio, you can't get..Radio is not very convenient I think. You can't always take a radio with you. And the internet can give youintercomputer is not only a media, it can give you many things. You can use the computer to learn, to receive and give your e-mail. </sp3>
<inerlocutor> Argue with each other. </inetlocutor>
<sp2> I can't agree moreI can't agree more. I think internet is the most is the best way. Because internet is as a supermarket, you can choose what you like, everywhere and everytime, you can choose what you like. But from the TV or radio, you just listen or watch what what he is provide, what he provide. So, internet is the better way and but it requires a lot of conditions. Such as you must in the big city and it must have have the net. So, itit must be some limited limit conditions. But I think follow the development of our countristof our country, IT erm IT development it must be more and more popular. </sp2>
<sp1> Since we have the same opinion, there is no need [Wn-l] no need to be a hot debate. But I just to point our one point I want to discuss with you two. Because nowadays i often think about this problem. Some people say that though the internet is the fastest way to get information, but somehow it does some harm to our people. For example, to our eyes and bodies. How can we think of some ways to to solve this problem for future use? And also at the same time, I should say that though, for example get send the e-mail through the internet is very convenient. But, somehow, I think that it is not emotional and sentimental as as we send our letters, in reaching forerm. I want to hear about your opinion. </sp1>
<sp3> I think because we are in Tianjin, a big city. And my university has ability to let me use the computer. I think we should make good use of the conditions. My dormitory has a computer. And I think it's very useful. Though some people may use computer to do some bad things. But I think in my point of view, the computer is very good thing </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. That's the end of our discussion. Now, I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic of mass media. Now you are the first one. I want to ask you a question. Which newspaper do college students like most? </interlocutor>
<sp3> In my class, I think the China Daily may be the best. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Because I think like the 21st century, it's some complicated, sophisticated, we can't get all of the get all of the news from it. And the China Daily, I think it is more easy, and it's more cheap. And you can get the newspaper everyday. And I think in this way, I can get the news very quickly. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. Thank you. Now you please. Do you think the newspaper will be replaced by the internet in the future? </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think it maybe. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Why? </interocutor>
<sp2> Just now, I said that a lot of a lot of merits about internet. I think internet although it is very expensive. Now it is very expensive. But follow the IT development, I think in the near future, the charge will flow will flow down. And we can got only the same cents as we buy a newspaper [P2p-u]. As when we got the internet as cheaper as cheap as we got the newspaper, that the internet will replace the newspaper. AndOk. That's all. </sp2>
<inerlocutor> Now, you please. Do you think it is necessary to read the newspapers when you can get the news from TV? </inerlocutor>
<sp1> I don't think it is necessary. First, I should say that I don't follow with the erm her opinion. I think that newspaper, although we can get information through TV and other means that newspaper is also, is always and can never, ever be replaced by other means. First of all, you know that newspaper is very convenient, you can keep it at hand whenver and wherever you are. And also, you can cut out something for your collection for future use. And also, it is veryveryit is just like a sample and always it is more emotional and sentimental. I think that. Thought I can get information from other ways, I will never get rid of this. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, now, that's the end of the discussion. Thank you, everybody. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you, madam. </spall>
