<interlocutor> Could you please tell me your name and the number [Wu-e] of your admission ticket one by one? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Ok, er let me first. My name is *** and my number is 020111020343. </sp1>
<sp2> My turn. My name is ***. My ID number is 020111020350. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Just read the last four numbers [Wu-e]. Ok? Now last one. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Ok. My my name is ***. My my the number of my admission ticket is 020111020357. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Now would you please briefly introduce yourselves to each other? Remember you should not mention the name of your university. Ok. </interlocutor>
<sp1> My turn? Ok. Er good afternoon everyone. My name is ***. I come the southwest [Wth-s] part of China. I'm healthy [Wth-s], energetic, optimistic and warm-hearted. There are lot of hobbies I like. For example, erm drawing pictures, read books erm  and table-tennis and so on. In my university, my major is accounting. But I find it is very boring. So maybe I will shift my major for my future ca-career. I also like to make friends. Er so I want to be your friends after this examination. Thank you and good luck. </sp1>
<sp1> It's my turn? </sp1>
<interlocutor> Yes. </interlocutor>
<sp2> My name is ***. I came from Shanxi province. And my major is telecommunication engineering. Because I will [Ww-v] go abroad to study MSC ? program in UK, I it's very pleasure for me to have this chance to test my oral English skills. And I I'm always fond of studying English, because I know the [Wth-z] very the importance of English in the future. Mm for the time come for the time goes, I think my English skills will [Ww-v] improve will [Ww-v] be improved  more and more, especially when I came abroad. That's all. </sp2>
<sp3> My turn? My name is ***. I came from Heilongjiang, Northeast China's province. Er my my hometown is very beautiful and the [Wth-z] my folks there are very hospital hospitable. I hope some day in the [Wth-z] future, everyone here can come to my hometown. I will be glad to be the  [Wth-z] host and guide. Now I'm studying in Beijing. My major is erm public administration [Md]. And my but my ho- I have a lot of hobbies. And my favorite is learning English. I think [Wth-s] English is very important [Wor-o]. I'm feel er luck er to be here to attend this test. I hope all of us can pass the [Wth-z] exam exam with [Ww-v] high grade. Thank you. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. Now that we know each other, then we can do some group work. </interlocutor>
<interrupted>
<sp2> Ok. </sp2>
</interrupted>
<interlocutor> First of all, I'd like you to ask each of you to say something about scientific inventions. Ok, first Mrs. ***, listen carefully. Do you think scientific inventions have made our life easier and more comfortable than before? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Of course, I think [Wth-s] so. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Yes, give me an example. </interlocutor>
<sp1> A very simple example, the Internet. It can make us communicate with each other erm more convenient. Erm for example, when I am in Beijing, I talk mm talk with my friends on the Internet erm from the OICQ erm far from Beijing. It very cheap it's much cheaper than [Wth-z] make phones. . An Exam- ? <sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Ok. Mr. ***. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<interrupt>
<sp2> Yeah. </sp2>
</interrupted>
<interlocutor> Listen carefully. Do you think advances in science and technology have the negative effect on the environment? </interlocutor>
<sp2> I think [Wth-s] as every [Ww-v]coin has its two sides, about environment problem has both [Wth-s] advantage and disadvantage. As everyone [Ww-v] knows, with [Ww-v] industry developed, our air water [Ww-v] and other basic founda- founda-foundation had become worse and worse. But on the other hand with [Ww-v] industry developed, especially advanced [Wv-w] technology developed, we have more  creative spirits and [Pd-er] technicians [Wcia-ker] to get this [Wth-z] be improved. This is why we [Ww-v] develop our techni- techni-techniques [S1]. And our government  always fund large money to spend in it. That's I what I want to say. That's all. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Mr. ***. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Is the use [Wu-ir] of computers popular among university students nowadays? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Why? Why do you think it's popular? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Mm as far as me, I consider many factors are involved [Ww-v]. In the [Wth-z] first place, I think [Wth-s] erm surfing on the [Wth-z] Internet mm become more more and more popular throughout China. Erm erm my er so so do my so does my university. Er they can surf information, check search information want and they [Wth-z] also can communicate with [Ww-v] others, mm con- conveniently and cheaply. Mm so and on on on the other hand, secondly er they [Wth-z] can play games, play PC game on the in- on the [Wth-z] computer, which erm can over over over they can erm get derive lot of erm amusement from it, mm and so on. Thank you. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok. Now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion for us today is the use [Wu-ir] of computer [S1]. Each of you will be given a card concerning [S1] the use of computers for different purposes. I'd like you to talk about the benefits and problems of using computers [S1] according to your card. You will have 1 minute to prepare and each of you will have 1 and half minutes to give your presentation. Don't worry if I interrupt you when time is up. Here are your cards. Ok, it's time. Er Mrs. *** will you please begin. And Mr. ***  Mr. *** and Mr. ***, put your card aside and listen to what she says. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Ok. From my card, we can see a lot of advantages and disadvantages from using computers in everyday life. Erm there are mainly two purposes for students to surf on the Internet. Er one is search the information and news they want on the Internet. Second is to sent and write emails to their [Wth-z] friends and their [Wth-z] families. Mm it's very convenient for students to using erm use computers to see the informations and send emails. And and also it is very faster. We just use few seconds to send our messages to each other. But er it is also have a lot of disadvantages. For example, first er we will be addicted being  erm talking on the [Wth-z] Internet, for example for example, the OICQ. It is a waste of time if you use very mm very  er if you use it mm day by day. And second erm, because the Internet is open to everyone, to every company, so er we may touch the [Wth-z] something [Wth-s] very unhealty [Wth-s]. For example, something [Wth-s] about the [Wth-z] sex. It is very harmful for the [Wth-z] students, and especially the young children. And other [Wth-z] disadvantages I think [Wth-s] is it is a waste of time and it is very mm harmful for our healthy [Wth-s], for example our eyes. A lot of young children erm had a poor sight because of the [Wth-z] Internet. So I think [Wth-s] it's many disadvantages and advantages of using computers in everyday life. Thank you. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok. Mr. ***. It's your turn, please. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Thank you. Erm first I may want [Ww-v] to take advantage of using computers. Speaking to computers, we [Ww-v] want [Ww-v] to say something about Internet. This is related. For example, if we [Ww-v] want [Ww-v] to prepare for our papers when [Ww-v] we [Ww-v] graduated, we [Ww-v] must [Wu-a:] do something [Wth-s] to access some Internet website to get some information. This is necessary. On the other hand, if we [Ww-v] want [Ww-v] to  want [Ww-v] to get our results of today's oral test, how to do it? And we [Ww-v] must have to access the the Etang website of course. But the disadvantage [Mad] of using computers is obvious [S2]. In our major, we [Ww-v] call it information rubbish, because information is very very large. And we [Ww-v] have nothing to do it and distinguish [Wu-v] which [Ww-v] is useful and which [Ww-v] is not useful. This this cost this will [Ww-v] cost our large time. But I think [Wth-s] the rules of how to using computers will be set out will be set out in a short time. Our government will [Ww-v] find out how to using computer rightly. Without [Ww-v] the principle [P2i-n], our students will [Ww-v] addicted to using computers to study games not studying, which [Ww-v] is be harmful to their [Wth-z] futures. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Mr. ***, it's your turn please. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yeah, thank you. Mm my topic is talk talking about the [Wth-z] the [Wth-z] advantage and problems in using computers for entertainment. Erm I think [Wth-s] computer through computer we [Ww-v] can watch [Ww-v] watch [Ww-v] VCD movies and listen to CD Music very very er convenient and very. I think [Wth-s] the effect these effect and all effect are very are much better. And [Pd-er] and playing PC games can also can enhance your ability of of of operating the [Wth-z] mouse and also can er in- increase your ability of er of doing something something else. Mm but as just as what he he said a moment ago, every [Ww-v] coin has two sides. Erm apart from the  [Wth-z] advantages I mentioned, the [Wth-z] drawbacks are very er erm apparent, con-conspicuous. Erm for example, erm playing PC games can waste [Ww-v] a lot of students' time. So they [Wth-z] will [Ww-v] erm will [Ww-v] have less time to study, will [Ww-v] effect affect their [Wth-z] their [Wth-z] their [Wth-z] study, college study. And and other and other erm watch er er cha- er er wa- er watching watching VCD game can er do harm to your your eyes, I think [Wth-s], make you become shor- short-sighted, I think [Wth-s]. So this is [Wth-z] my opinion. Thank you. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Right. Now we all have some idea of the benefits and problems involved in the use of computers. I'd like you to discuss this topic further [Wur-ou] and see if you can agree on what is the greatest contribution of the computer and what is the most serious problem brought about by its use. During the discussion, you may argue with each other or ask each other questions to clarify point. You will have about 4 and half minutes for the discussion. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Remember, during the discussion, you should try to come to agreement on what is the greatest contribution of the computer and what is the most serious problem brought about by its use. Ok? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Ok, thank you. <sp3>
<sp1> Erm I want to ask you two that [Wth-z] what do you think [Wth-s] the [Wth-s] most erm greatest contribution the computer give to oursleves [Wves-f] or society? </sp1>
<sp3> I think [Wth-s] convenience, convenience should be top priority. </sp3>
<sp2> I think computer is famous for its process computing, because our brain can't be accessed to this [Wth-z] high speed of computing speed. But computer can do it. </sp2>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
<sp2> And with [Ww-v] the time going, you know IBM, ?, and these such such large com- company has do many advantage from computing. </sp2>
<sp1> But I think [Wth-s] what you said is mean that computer give lot of convenient to our society and our daily life. I agree with you that  </sp1>
<interrupted>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
</interrupted>
<sp1> I think [Wth-s] it is much convenient mm after the computer's mm birth. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah, I also think [Wth-s] so. </sp3>
<sp2> Mm I think [Wth-s] er the [Wth-z] most convenience of computer based on the process, because o- other things are the human human beings can do it. But which [Ww-v] can do it the thing [Wth-s] that we [Ww-v] cannot do, we [Ww-v] must use computers. And computers can can rely rely on erm process. </sp2>
<sp3> Yeah, proce-process should be er should be er take into account [Wou-O:], probably. </sp3>
<sp1> I think [Wth-s] that is the [Wth-z] basement. </sp1>
<sp2> Yeah. This is the foundation. </sp2>
<sp3> I think [Wth-s] I think [Wth-s] we should talk the [Wth-z] contribution of computers. Right? </sp3>
<sp1> Yes. </sp1>
<sp2> Yeah. But contribution is related to its its fame. </sp2>
<sp3> Yeah. I think [Wth-s] so. </sp3>
<sp1> A long ? is a mm greatest harm. I think [Wth-s] it also make our  because it is open to everyone. So I think [Wth-s] there [Wth-z] are lot of rubbish on the Internet. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
<sp1> On the computers, er because we rely rely on the computers so much. So if the [Wth-z] computer have some problems, we also will have a lot of disa- erm erm a lot of erm, how to say, disasters. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah. I agree with [Ww-v] you. But er in in terms of the [Wth-z] problem, I think [Wth-s]  computer virus [Wi-ae] should be take into account [Wou-O:]. Right? Virus [Wi-ae]. </sp3>
<sp2> I think this is  </sp2>
<interrupted>
<sp3> They do harm, do lot of harm to computer. Yeah. Make it  deteriorate, I think. </sp3>
</interrupted>
<sp2> I think this is a safet-safety er problem. Er but I think [Wth-s] this [Wth-z] is er  </sp2>
<interrupted>
<sp1> You are so professional. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah, yeah. </sp3>
<sp2> Fantastic [Mtic] [Ps-neiting]. Computer is fantastic [Mtic] [Ps-neiting]. So er human beings much have self-control. But [Pt-er] most of us er haven't enough control ability. So  </sp2>
<sp1> Yeah. </sp1>
<sp2> Disadvantage is obvious [S2]. If if students can do everything [Wth-s] in a while, and they [Wth-z] they [Wth-z] don't study. And they don't play games on the computer. </sp2>
<sp1> Problem is the government also must do something [Wth-s] to prevent those [Wth-z] problems. For example, I think [Wth-s] er more restricted principles and laws must be set to prevent those hackers [Wac-e] and some mm some diseases from the computers. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah. </sp3>
<sp2> As I know er our institution have do something er in it. And we [Ww-v] have set out some laws to prevent er such as computer virus crisis. </sp2>
<sp1> Ah, yeah. </sp1>
<sp2> And something. </sp2>
<interrupted>
<sp3> Yeah I think [Wth-s] the [Wth-z] government of China has adopt has adopted some measures. </sp3>
</interrupted>
<interrupted>
<sp1> But I think [Wth-s] this [Wth-z] is far from enough. </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think [Wth-s] so. Yeah it's bad bad for safe of Internet. Yeah, yeah. Many  </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp1> A lot of garbage is on the Internet </sp1>
</interrupted>
<interrupted>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah. </sp3>
</interrupted>
<sp1> do harmful to everyone, I think [Wth-s]. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. </sp3>
<sp2> Do you know the [Wth-z] er do you know the [Wth-z] pilot Wang Wei er last year? </sp2>
<sp1> I know. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah, I know it. </sp3>
<sp1> Very famous. </sp1>
<sp2> After after he died, er the [Wth-z] hackers [Wac-ai] of China and [Pd-er] American have get a battle on the Internet. </sp2>
<sp3> Yeah, yeah. </sp3>
<sp2> And most the website of our government had be be harmed. It's very dangerous. </sp2>
<sp1> I think [Wth-s] it's mm invisi- invisible battle from the [Wth-z] two countries. I think [Wth-s] maybe its new kind of battle in the future. </sp1>
<sp3> Yeah, I think so. </sp3>
<interlocutor> All right. That's the end of discussion. Now I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic of the use of computer. Mrs. Chi listen to me carefully. Do you think computer virus is a very big problem to computer research? </interocutor>
<sp1> Yes, I think [Wth-s] it is very  very serious problem. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Because we we rely on the computers so much now- nowadays, so erm it can do harmful for  the users. If they just mm put something [Wth-s] on the computers, mm it will destroy their informations and other things [Wth-s]. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Ok. Er Mr. ***. Listen to me carefully. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yeah. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Have you personally benefited from using computers in your study? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yes, because my major is communication engineering. And  </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Give one example. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp2> Yes. Er for example, now I I'm in the four year and I will [Ww-v] graduated in a few month. And I must prepare [M1p] prepare for my papers. And the information is is getted on the Internet. We must access the website everyday. And er and we [Ww-v] can er somebody said you can er get some information from books from the library. And the news and information is not is too old for for for me to get it. We [Ww-v] have to get it from the Internet. And on the other hand, another im- important advantage of using computer is its convenience, just like he said. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Ok. Mr. ***, listen to me carefully. </interlocutor>
<sp3> Ok. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Have you ever encountered any problems using computers? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yeah. </sp3>
<interlocutor> What are the problems? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Er just the most serious one is computer computer virus. That that day I surf the Internet. I check my er email. I check when I er open the [Wth-z] attachment, I I found the [Wth-z] computer er just broken down. So very serious that [Wth-z] time. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Ok, good. That's the end of the test. Thank you everybody. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you. </spall>
