<interlocutor> OK. ***. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes. I think it's my pleasure to know all of you here. My ma-major is ??? and I like English [Wsh-s ] very much. </sp3>
<interocutor> OK. Now that we know each other, we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like to ask each of you a question. Now, ***, please. What newspapers are available on campus? </interlocutor>
<sp1> There are many papers available. Such as 21st century English [Wsh-s] newspaper and the People's Daily and Liao Liao Ning Liao Ning Daily newspaper. There are a number [Mber] of papers in the s school library. We can read freely. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, now ***. What would life be like without the mass media? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Mass media? We got a lot of information from mass media. So if there isn't any there aren't many mass media, we will know nothing about our world. So, it'slife will be dull. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Now, ***, how often do you watch TV? What programs do you like best? Please give your reasons. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Because in my school, there there are no no TV set in our dormitory, so when in on holiday, I I stay at home and I watch TV everyday. I usually like to watch play because it will relax </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, now, let's move on to something more specific. I'd like you to talk about 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 will have one minute to prepare. And each of you will have one and a half minutes to give your presentation. Don't worry, if I interrupt you, the time is up. Now, here are the pictures. Remember to limit your presentation to your own picture. </interlocutor>
<interlocutor> Now, ***, would you please begin? And ***, ***, please put your pictures aside and listen to what *** has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp3> As the picture is internet. As we all know the computer develop very fast these years. And we all like to go to web and use internet to get some information. And I think from computer, we can get some information very quickly. And we all we can know er know the news from all of the world. I think it's the conven conven convenient [We-e] way for for us to to know the information. And in my spare time, I also chat in conin the web to many people from different places. And I can learn a lot of knowledge [P2e-er] in the internet. So, I think er it is very useful for us. We must er learn it well and use it. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. Now, ***, now it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp2> The second picture showed us er from mass media, er that is er reading column we can get information, the updating update [Pe-er] information. In this way we can read many newspapers [P2p-u] such as the People daily [Wl-r] so freely. So, we can read them an..., at any time er at any time such er such as after supper, before classes. In this way, we we can get information freely. This cost us nothing. Most of all, it convenient and practical in our campus. It so that it has its shortcoming. For example, it not vso vividly as so vivid as erm TV. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Now, ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp1> From the picture, we can see several mass medias [We-e]. The traditional media [We-e] is er radio and newspaper and TV. In our daily life in school, we can read newspaper and</sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> This is your picture. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> The TV is the popular media [We-e] in daily life. We can see pictures and listen the sounds. But TV is harmful for our eyes. We can try the program we like to see. Ererbut TV is the important media [We-e] to er communicate and know something important happen in in the world [Ml]. I think with the er er when the computer come into come into fashion. The TV will lose some office market. But in in the future, the TV will find its own way to er progress his program. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Now we all have some idea of various kinds of mass media. I'd like you to further discuss this 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 the point. You will have about four and a half minutes for the discussion. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Please. </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think, we can get the latest communication information by the computer. It's the best way though it's costly. We can get what we want erm by searching the [We-ai] key word. But badly the newspapers, we always can't get what we really want. And if we want to get something freely, briefly, com com computer can give us, by the form of newspaper, news. </sp2>
<interlocutor> You may argue with each other. </interlocutor>
<sp1> What do you think of radio? </sp1>
<sp2> Radio? I didn't er hear radio often. </sp2>
<sp1> But in campus we can't see TV. The radio can give us a ima imagine field. We can imagine with the radio. TV can't give us [Wu-e] er the field to imagine. We ??? what he said and what he show [Wsh-s] usit's not good for us [Wu-e]. I think computer is ais coming into fashion. And it will have a great future. So we should learn how to use computer and learn how to get information from it. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Please say something ***. </interlocutor>
<sp3> I think I agree with *** i think computer is the best way for mass media [We-e]. And I think we are all student and we have no er very much free time. And the radio program is, its time its time is very er stable. And we mi...er and we may may miss some some programs. But the computer er when whenever you went to it, you will find the news. </sp3>
<sp1> But we have problem is we haven't enough money to buy a computer. And we also have not mumany money to went into into net bar. So, we I have to er read newspaper. </sp1>
<sp2> I think computer bar is not very erm expensive. We can afford it. And I think idea of our radio is very good. It's very con-convenient we can took it anywhere [S1]. </sp2>
<sp1> But therefore, we are too long ??? ??? </sp1>
<sp2> Computer and newspaper also do harm to our eyes. </sp2> 
<sp1> So nowdays, we tries erm not only one media [We-e] to receive information. We use all of the medias [ We-e] to get ??? </sp1>
<interlocutor> All right. That's the end of the discussion. Now, I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic of mass media. Now, ***, which newspaper do college students like most and why? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Er I think that chinesChina Daily is er is the newspaper newspapers [P2p-u] student like most. Because it can give us the [We-ei] news of the world. And we can know what happened in both in home and abroad. I think er the paper is er is very popular. And we can get it very quickly in the library. That's all. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, now, ***, do you think newspapers will be replaced by the internet in the future? Why or why not? </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think it probably will be replaced because [Wau-au] the computer er now is very po popular. And its price is lowering. So, in the future, it getting to every every house. As a household ???, I think many people will not bother to buy a newspaper everyday. They just go to the net and get the information they want to know. It's convenience. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. ***. Do you think it is necessary to read newspapers when you can get news on TV? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes, I think it's necessary to read newspaper. First newspa-newspaper give us [Wu-e] a large informations. We we can try try the information we want to know. I think it's better than radio. Sometimes there there is pictures on the newspaper. We can read and we can see the pictures. </sp1>
