Er it is a very useful media for us, we canwe can receive many messages from it, and we can also we can learn something from the network, such as er the the education, and worker, also for-for me its for me I can find a work in five one job er station there. Mm in my opinion the network is a promisingis a promising er media, and it can change our er life very [Wv-w][We-ae] deeply, very [Wv-w][We-ae] deep mm. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Well, Miss ***, please. Could you please say something about the changes that have taken place in your hometown in the last ten years? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Mm in the last ten years er there are great changes have taken place in my hometown C Shanghai. Er many er many transpota means of transportation have been set up [Pp-er] er during the last ten years, the ?? subways, erhighways and [Pd-er] so on, and [Pd-er] the other change is theis the ways of people's life. Er er in the er several years ago, people always stay at home and without anything to do, but now er more and more people go out and to go out and enjoy the er they enjoy the nightlife, such as er Karaoke, and er dancing place. Er and [Pd-er] another change I think is the [Pe-r] eranother change is the [Pe-r]education ofeducation of our people. Er nowa nowadays more and more people er go to go to night school and take [Pk-er] sometake some high education. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for discussion today is changes of people's life. Each of you will be given a picture, showing one aspect of the changes ?? have taken place in people's life in China since early eighties. I'd like you to describe the picture briefly and then talk about the changes, and 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 when time is up. Here is your picture. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Thank you. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, now Miss ***, will you please begin, and you two please put aside your pictures and listen to what she has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes, mm, in early in early eighties, China [Pa-r] has a bad condition er in traffic, you see in the picture, mm people have to push their pusy others to get on the bus to er go on work and off work, and mm the buses mm so an-an-and and many people have to ride their bicycles on the road, and to quarrel to quarrel with and to-to Cto quargo on work and off work, and what's wha-wha-what made worse, mm the road isthe road is er mmm the road is er s-smaller for people to walk, and now in la-late ninties, and mm more and more traffic ? mm more and more. Er, the condi the traffic condition has improved a lot, you see, we may take taxies, and buses, and subways to mm go with our daily life, and we don't have to crowd in the public bus, and mm the traffic has improved a lot, and so mm in the in the-these ten years, the traffic condition has improved a lot in Shanhai. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, Mr *** er Mr ***, it's your turn please. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Mm there is are great [Pt-er] changes have taken place in the last [Pt-er] ten years. Mm I think in my in my memory, er when I was very young er just the buildings in Shanghai are very [Wv-w][We-ae] are not very [Wv-w][We-ae] high and the road [wr-l] is very crowded, sometimes you can't [Pt-er] mm go to work [Pk-er] in time, and er the kitchen in in in our house is very busy and dirty [Wir-ou], sometimes I can't [Pt-er] find something I want to I want to do withI want to I wanted. Mm and the bedroom is very lim there are no enough room in our bedroom [Pd-er], the roo the bed [Pd-er]the we must [Pt-er] eat [Pt-er] at [Pt-er] eat [Pt-er], we must eat our super our meal and our meal are very </sp2>
<interlocutor> Sorry, Miss ***, please. </interlocutor>
<sp3> There are three great changes have taken place during the last ten years. As we can see in the pictures, er in the early eighties, people can only sat together and watch a small black [Pk-er] TV set, but now [Pw-r] in the late ninety nineties, people can er sat er sat comfortably er sat comfortably and er watch the big color TV set. And the other change is in the in the early nineteen eighties people [Pl-r] canpeople [Pl-r] the mo the mm the mo mm people the people plays [Pa-r] great [Pt-er] importance to er to walk to a a to a shop and to buy something, but now, people er pay spend money on traveling, and the other change is that during the eighties people [Pl-r] always [Way-e] go out and sat together to see to see the [Pe-r] a fairer play to see a film. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> That's all right, I have to interrupt you. Right, now we all have some idea of changes that have taken place in people's life in China since 1980. What change has had the greatest influence on people's life? Please discuss it. During the discussion, you may argue each other or ask each other questions to clarify your point. You will have about four and half minutes for discussion. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Now, let's begin. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> I think  I think the most [Pt-er] important factor to affect to change people's life is the open-door policy er open-door policy and mm people more and more people [Pl-r] are accept [Pt-er] the [Pe-r] fashional ways of foreign country, they [Wth-z] er they [Wth-z] moved er always go out and bring some new ideas into China [Pa-r], and er they al er bring er bring new ideas into China [Pa-r], er they will mm more and more people go abroad and accept [Pt-er] accept [Pt-er] high education, er some people go out some and some people er understand [Pd-er] how to enjoy their lives during the daily life, they er such as go to karaoke or dancing place er and so on. </sp3>
<sp1> Er, I think er what you said is on the whole mm I think mm maybe in detail and house erm for people to live is the most important thing er in the in these ten years, cau-because you see in the early eighties, people have so small a er a home a house to live in and er there is a prompt [Mm][Mt]... mm you'd rather get one one room in Puxi than [Wa-e] than [Wa-e] a house in Pudong. Er so er you see now Pudong has developed a lot, and more and more chi Shanghainees want to move to Pudong to have the er er better condition of er housing, and I think this may be the most improvement the great improvement greatestest improvement. </sp1>
<sp2> I agree with what she has said, and open er policy is the most [Pt-er] important [Pt-er] for our economic [Pc-er] development. It is proof it is urgent that we want to take part in the WTO, and now more and more er mm foreign founded enterprises [W1e-ae][W2r-v][Mp] booms in Shanghai recent in recent years, now the trend is is more evident, mm er please er please think about the er development development in Pudong, there, I think the change is very mm enmandos. </sp2>
<sp3> I think the other important factor is the development of our eco-economics. Er since our er since our country er have [Pv-r] experienced such a er such a vast development [Pt-er], people got more more and more money er beside beside them, so they [Wth-z] will spend [Pd-er] so they [Wth-z] will spend [Pd-er] more money more money on traveling or other things except er buy grains or buy er other small er small things. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp1>But I think what you said is mm rather on whole er but I think the most important to a person, to the people in China, in Shanghai, mm it maybe detail erm erm to say what is important er for Shanghainees to er get more condition er er good [Md] better condition in Shanghai, maybe and, house, and living condition and traffic condition is-is-is better to say. And er er the government, yes, they er they improved a lot, and they mm give more attention erm the er er to the opening policy, and</sp1>
</interrupted>
<interlocutor> Ok, that's the end of our discussion. Now, I have to ask you just one last question on the toer on the topic of changes in people's life. Now Miss ***, please. Er nowadays there are more and more fast-food restaurants, what do you think of fast-food? </interlocutor>
<sp1> I think fast-food restaurant [Ws-sh] is erm a sign of er the people's living conditions erm which has improved, and you see in-in early times, mm not a restaurant mm erm erm so little er so few person can go to a restaurant and so few the fast-food restaurant, and that's for the mm er for the higher person to enter the restaurant to have a me-meal, and nowadays er you see, and er general person er with their kids, and with their senior students [P1s-I] erm can go to the fast-food restaurant to have their dinner or have their er meal tomm er change the life style, they they can eat outside the home and to get a better life, and maybe mm this is er this means the it can sometimes means the er better condition of the living situation. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok, Mr ***, is it now more convenient to contact your friends than before? Please give your reasons. </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think it is it is true. Mm once, er in recent years we can er use the interwork, of course of course we can also use other [Wth-z] media, other ways such as telephone, and letters [Ws-s], but I think [Pk-er] the network [Pk-er] is more convenient [Pt-er] than two of than the others, an-and the network [Pt-er] is a mm is a is a is a boomic er phenomenon in Shanghai, and such and it is for me er very important in my life. Er mm for example, I have a computer, then I want to I want to talk with my friend [Pd-er] er such as in Shanghai er in Beijing. I also can, I of course can er talk with hi-him with computer. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok, er Miss ***, er do you think it's a good idea to live place in low buildings with high with tall buildings in big cities, why? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Mm? Pardon, sorry, pardon? </sp3>
<interlocutor> Do you think it's a good idea to live in places in low buildings with big buildings in big cities, why? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Mm, Yes, er, no no, I don't think [Pk-er] er it's a good idea to a place to low low buildings wi-with the [Pe-r] high buildings, because I think [Pk-er] er the tall buildings, er when you when you are people lived in on er tall er tall buildings, they can get a more clear more clear air and [Pd-er] er enjoy the sight of the whole city, but low buil I think low buildings will [Pll-r] er limit your sight, and you will not [Pt-er] er enjoy enjoy the clear er air, and [Pd-er] mm another thing is that most tall buildings have [Pv-r] elevators but [Pt-er] low buildings er er haven't any elevators, er so the tall buildings is more convenient for people to er it's convenient [Pt-er] for for people to get down or get down-down-downstairs or upstairs, but the low buildings there is no so convenient [Pt-er]. Er take take our family for example, we want to mm we want to move into tall buildings just because these two reasons. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, that's the end of the test. Thank you very much. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Thank you. </sp1>
