<interlocutor> OK. OK. Now that [M2t] we know each other, we can do some group work. First of all, I'd like each of you to say something [Wth-s] about scientific inventions. Now, Miss ***, do you think [Wth-s] [Mk] scientific inventions have made our life easier and more comfortable than before? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes, of course. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Now, please [Wea-ei] [Ws-s] give one example. </interlocutor>
<sp1> For example, the [Pe-r] telecommunication, especially the internet, and oversea telephone can make us to hear from very distance people to ern intense our friendship and make us close [Ws-s] with [Wth-s] each other. OK. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Now, Miss ***, is the use of computers popular among the university students nowadays [Ws-s]? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Of course, it is very popular, and there is great [Mt] trend [Md] that it is becoming more and more popular, for example, ern in our university ern every dormitory there is at least one computer. Ern sometimes you may seen maybe five or six computers. OK. That's all. </sp2> 
<interlocutor> OK. Mr. ***, do you often use computer? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Yes? Now, for what purposes [Pu-o]? </interlocutor>
<sp3>Just I think just ah ei computer game, and ern maybe chat er with with somebody [Mm] on the far distance [Wa-e], and maybe maybe sometime I will [Ww-v] write [Wi-e] a article yeah er with [Wth-z] a computer, ernern once I ern made a erm program with a computer. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. Now, thank you. Now, let's move [Mve] on to something more specific, the topic [Wo-er] for our discussion [Wc-k] today is the use of computers. Each of you will be given a card concerning the use of computers with [Mth] different purposes. I'd like [Wi-e] you to talk about [Wou-o] the benefits and problems of using computers according to your card. 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 [Wi-er] is up. Now here are your car-cards. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Thank you. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Now [Wow-o] ***, now [Wow-o] would you please [Ws-s] begin? Now [Wow-o] ***, *** and ***, now [Wow-o] put your cards aside, and listen to what *** has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp2> OK. Ern Computer is playing a more and more important role in our daily life, especially in the education area, I think. Ern ern on my card, i-is [Ws-s] erabout er four kinds the man use of computer, the first one is you can use computer to study English. For example, we can listening to English songs or watching movies on the internet and teachers they also can use [Wse-s] powerpoint or some much laps ern such kind of softwares [Ww-v] to  er make their English class more colorful and vivid. And second is we can use computer to study various kinds of our erm subjects concerning our major. And the third is you can study some courses without ern the teachers face to face and teach, I mean erm you can enter er long distance college on the net which is very convenient for us now. And also you can communicate [Wo-e] with your friends and classmates without er  having a face-to-face talk. Ern just by email or by chatting on the net, we can exchange our experience [Wp-p] and ern your thoughts about study. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Now Miss ***, now it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yeah. I think [Mk] computer is playing a very important role in our life. First of all is we can go to the internet go the latest news [Ws-s] of this world. Also we can get many resource for our papers and we can get some specific things. The second is about email. Normally before the ern born of the er computer and internet, we should spend one week or more to send letters to oversea countries, for example, United states or Australia. And now we only [Mon] spend  two or three seconds to reach them, especially, in extingint things we can save a lot of time and energy and can save a lot of problems. However, there are a lot of problems in the in the computer. For example, some young people are indulged in the internet chat, and abandon their works and their studies, and also without the judge of deponds of teachers they can reach some not unhealth [Mth] not so healthy thing and to ruin their life or even ern made some bad behaviors when imitating some behaviors in the internet. And also I think there is addition addition er use in in computer that is they can save the scientists from many mathematic works of science, especially astrology. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Good. Now, please [Wea-ei] [Ws-s] your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp3> OK. I will ern brie- er briefly talk about ern the advan-advantage [Wge-z] and disadvantage [Wg-z] ern using computer for entertainment. Erm first I will [Ww-v] talk about the a-ad-advantage [Wg-z] ah of the watching [Wtch-ts] VCD and CD ern on a computer. Yeah. As advantage [Wg-zi] as we can yeah we can watch [Wtch-ts] many ern famous er place er on the computer, and we can yeah listen to music, erm as the same time we we erm save many er save much money [Wo-an]. Yeah. Er and  just er for as for playing erm computers games er I I think [Wth-s] playing er playing computer games er may many young students er spend too much [Wch-ts] time [Wi-e] on it and er this er maybe do harm to their study [Pu-r]. Erm in my er surrounding I I saw er many of my classmates yeah erm spend so much [Wch-ts] time [Wi-e] and money [Wo-an] er on the erm  computer games, and and chatting with [Wth-s] ah other people. Yeah. And their study [Pu-r] will will be hard, erm  OK, that's all. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Right. Now you all have some idea [Pea-r] of the benefits and problems involved in the use of computers. I like [Wi-e] you to discuss [Wc-k] this topic further, and see if you can agree on what is the greatest contribution of the computer and what is the most [Wo-o] serious problem brought about by its use. During the discussion [Wc-k], you may argue with each other, or ask each other questions to clarify a point. You will have about four and a half minutes for the discussion [Wc-k]. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion [Wc-k]. Remember during [Mu-er] the discussion [Wc-k], you should try to come to an agreement on what is the greatest contribution of the computer and what is the most [Wo-o] serious problem brought about by its use. OK? Begin. </interlocutor>
<sp3> OK. Ern I think ern computer is nod out one on the greatest inventions in er in the past [Mt]. Ern  the most [Mt] ern important contribution is make to the er human beings is that ern it [Mt] bring convenience ern if ern  ern how to put it, ern many many advantages to people, ern for example it liberates ah scientist from the the boring and time-consuming ah erm calculating [W1a-a] work. And [Md] it can reduce ern the the time you spend [Md] ern you use to communicate with [Wth-s] people in the past, just ern like Miss ern </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp1> ***. </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp2> Miss *** said [Md], er in the past you send a mail to a person may for few days, now it's only a minute's work. And you can you can. </sp2>
<interrupted>
<sp1> But, but do you think, the change by internet is a little bit cold in our life. I mean we do not have the face-to-face exchange, we can not feel warmth of our friends and our relatives, only through some digital things like zeros and ones. </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp2> Ern just now you mention only through email and I don't agree with you. You can dress email. And sometimes we can write [Mt] snail mails. We can call the man, we can er dig some also write. </sp2>
<sp1> Right. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Now ***, could you say something [Wth-s] about [Wou-o] your view on point? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Erm I I think [Wth-s] [Mk] yeah email is the good way to communicate with [Wth-z] each other, just er I think [Wth-s] er it has eradvantages erm that erm erm the the later cannot [Wo-a] er take place. Yeah erm it it erm saved time [Wi-e] and money [Wo-an]. And yeah, er to people, er in in in the two places [Ms] in two places, can communicate with [Wth-s] each other in the short time [Wi-e]. Er yes. But [Pt-er] mn I think [Wth-s] mn in the future [Pe-r], er when the [Wth-z] ti-time [W1i-e] [W2i-e] call er improved, and development [S4], I I think [Wth-s] erm we can communicate with [Wth-z] each other, er  er both [Wth-s] in words [Ww-v] [Por-r] and erm maybe we can see each other at the same time. </sp3>
<sp1> But [Mt] there is one thing arise [Ws-s], for example, one country use the internet to er guard the safe of the country. With the development [Mp] of the hacker technology, you can not make sure that your country safe. But [Mt] how can we solve this problem? I think that is the greatest disadvantage for the use of computer. </sp1>
<sp3> I think [Wth-s] [Mk] erm erm as the same time with [Wth-z] er the [Wth-z] hacker [Wa-ei] rise [Wse-s], ern I think [Wth-s] [Mk] ernah the ten the engineerings can, I think they can solve this problems. </sp3>
<sp1> Yes, yes. </sp1>
<sp3> I'm sure. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp2> Yeah yeah there are hackers [Wa-ei] they are also track us, maybe are more are more ern.. . ern knowledgeable than hackers [Wa-ei], and they can arrest them [Wth-z]. I think. Er you s er you mention, you think [Wth-s] [Mk] that [M2t] the security problem is. </sp2>
</interrupted>
<interrupted>
<sp1> Yeah. </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp2> Er some is dangerous, but I think [Mk] ern it's the unhealthy things on the net that [M2t] will reach our children, I mean ruin their minds an and sometimes [Wm-n] bodies. That is really dangerous. </sp2>
<sp1> I believe that Mr. *** study law, maybe you can establish some laws to make sure that er</sp1>
<sp3> Yes. sure. I think [Wth-s] [Mk] law [Wl-n] will [Ww-v] er play a important role [Wo-u] in the future [Wf-p] [Pe-r] to ern yeah. Erm forbid the [Wth-z] hacker [Wa-ei] er to harm our computer. I've found it. </sp3>
<sp2> Yeah </sp2>
<interrupted>
<sp1> Yeah, have study about this? </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Er Yes. Maybe in the future [Pe-r] I will [Ww-v] er search this laws [Wl-n] [Paw-r]. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<sp1> Yes, yea it is a researcher. </sp1>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Yeah. I will do some things [Wth-s] er to this problem, to solve [Wv-w] thi-these problems. </sp3>
<sp1> Yeah. Yeah. </sp1>
<interlocutor> All right, that's the end of the discussion. Now I'd [MI] like to ask one last question on the topic of the use of computers. Now [Wow-o] Miss ***, do you think [Mk] computer various [Ps-is] are a big problem to computer-users. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Pardon? Computer what? </sp1>
<interlocutor> Yeah. Do you think [Mk] computer various [Ps-is] are a big problem to computer-users? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Various what? Various what? </sp1>
<interlocutor> Yes, computer various are a big problem to computer-users. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Various? </sp1>
<interlocutor> Yeah. Various? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Ern </sp1>
<interlocutor> Various [Ps-is]? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Varieties? You mean. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Yes. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Ah maybe because we have er different specifics we have er different goals and different purpose to use computer, and </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Now listen to me again. Now my question was that do you think [Mk] computer yes vi-ruses viruses [Wi-ar] OK? The computer viruses [Wi-ar] are big problem to computer-users? </interlocutor>
<sp1> various [Ps-is]? Can you change another word for this question? I'm sorry. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Now yes. Now yeah. I'll change another one. Now, have you ever encountered any problems in using computers? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes, of course, especially the quality of our computers. We usually use the computer when the electricity is cut off, or some ern soft problems, especially software problems in the computer and to make all the data use. In some er... in this problem I feel very er disappointed, and all my contribution and all my work have done in the computer is lost. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Mmhm Now [Wow-o] Miss ***, what other electronic devices do you often use besides the computer? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Electronic? </sp2>
