Ern in the future, I want [Ww-v] to be ern very excellent [S2] [W3e-e] chairwoman of a multinational [W1a-ai] enterprise. So every [Wv-w] day I seize I seize each day to make myself perfect, an-d I'm sure my dream will came true. And I I I I'm very glad to see all of you here and I wish [Ww-v] er we will have very successful examination this afternoon [Woo-ou]. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. Your, please [Ws-s]? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Ern Good afternoon. My name is ***. Ern It sounds like a [Wa-ei] boy's name in Chinese meaning. My major is law. Er referring to my major, I think sometimes it's too difficult and sometimes, but it is very interesting. I'm crazy for basketball [Mke]. This ball really exhilarates me, and I had ever played for my college in the university [My] in the university for two years. And we won the chairmanship last years. So I think it's the best time in my university [Wv-w] life. I'm also crazy er I'm I'm also fond of er movies and I do not have brothers and sisters but I think I have a fashionate family, so I think I'm lucky enough. Thank you. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Your, please [Ws-s]? </interlocutor>
<sp3> OK. My name is ***. I come erm my I'm a student of er favorite [Pi-n] engineering [W1e-i] majors, and [Pd-er] I'm junior now [Wow-o]. ern ern I love [Wo-a:] [Wv-w] sports and English very [Wv-w] much. I think in in future I'll improve [Wve-u] my English mm in graduate mms mm  s-studies. Erm I'll take internet trade [Wa-i], maybe. Er </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. That's all? OK. Er Now that we know each other, er we can do some group work. Er first of all, I'd like to ask each of you to say something about scientific inventions. OK. Scientific inventions. OK. Miss ***, please [Wse-s]? Some people say that the computer is the most [Wo-o] important invention of the last century. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yeah. </sp1>
<interlocutor> Do you agree? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Yes. I quite agree with that. </sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Why? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> Because [Wse-s] saying [Wa-e] the computer invention, we can see so many [Wa-a] changes took place in our daily lives [Wi-a]. And [Wa-a] computer make our [Wou-o] daily lives [Wi-a] more and more convenient [We-e] [Mi]. But I don't think er we will use computer er in every [W1e-a] field of our daily lives [Wi-a]. We must be the [We-i] master of the [We-ei] er computer. And don't make ourselves the slave of it. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. That's all? </interlocutor>
<interrupted>
<sp1> That's my answer. </sp1>
</interrupted>
<interlocutor> And Miss ***. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yeah. </sp2>
<interlocutor> Er do you think the advances in science and technology have a negative effect on the environment? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Er of course. I think so. </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK. Please give an example. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp2> er for For example, er take the [We-i] er industrial ages that happened in the last century [Mu], that the environment [Wi-e] has been greatly er de-deteriorate. And that's but I think that's just because people have not er controll this er er effectively, so that's the reason why the environment [Wi-e] has been so deteriorate er er last century [Mu]. But if we do very well, I think the [We-i] positive life the positive sides of advances knowledge will be more and will be greater. Thank you. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Thank you much. Er and er Mr. ***, er you question is do you often use computer? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. Er if yes, for what purposes? </interlocutor>
<sp3> We use computer mainly for ern get er get on Internet. I think Internet is the very [Wv-w] important invention [Wv-w] in the last de several decades [W1e-i] [S2]. Ern I think I it was er.. computer also for my majors, er we should we how to ern draw major draw pictures in mm the with [Wth-z] the computer. Er or we use the most [Wo-o] [Pt-er] er the the computer er the the most [Wo-o] popular computer with ha we have to uses the the computer er the  CAD, auto-CAD. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK. OK. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> That's all. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Er now [Wow-o] let's move on to something more specific, the topic of our discussion today is the use of computers. OK. Each of you will be given a card concerning the use of computers for different purposes. I'd like [Mk] you to talk about the benefits and problems of using computers according to your card. OK. And you'll have one minute to prepare and each of you will have one and a half minutes to give your presentation. And don't worry if I interrupt you when time is up. OK? Now please are your cards. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Thank you. </sp2>
<interlocutor> You will have one minute to prepare for it. </interlocutor>
<interlocutor> OK. Now Miss ***, would you please began? No. 2 and No. 3, please put your cards aside, and listen to what Miss *** has to say. OK. You can begin. </interlocutor>
<sp1> OK. An-d I think [Wth-s] everything [Wth-s] er have its advantages an-d disadvantages. An-d I think computer is a er is also a double-bladed sword [Ps-w]. An-d er as we can see from my card [War-er] that er we can use computer to ersend [We-a] to send [We-a] emails to friends. And I think [Wth-s] this is a very [Wv-w] conveni [S1] convenient way to communicate with others. Er an-d I think [Wth-s] this way this kind [Wi-e] of communication er shortens [We-e] the [Wth-z] [We-i] er the [Wth-z] [We-i] distance between the [Wth-z] the [Wth-z] peoples. Er and er it is very cheaper for us to er send [We-a] email to our [Pr-er] friends [Mr] er... than [Wth-z] called them from the very long er very long distance [Wa-e] [S2]. An-d another advantages of computer is that [Mt] is that with [Wth-z] the development of Internet [W2e-ai], we can er go Internet [W2e-ai]. An-d er to browse [Wow-o] [Ws-s] to look through the white [Mt] pages [Pe-r]. Er as you know, er I'm a my major is international [W1a-ai] trade, and I must [Ps-n] know the latest information, er er especially [Wp-p] in economy [S3] economy all around the world [Ww-v]. Er So I think [Wth-s] er computer and the [Wth-z] Internet [W2e-ai] is a very convenient way is er is a very too a very convenient tool [Ml] for me to er to check the [Wth-z] information. Er But [Pt-er] er there're also some disadvantages for computer. Mm some of my friends [Mr] [Wds-s] they [Wth-z] are very craze for [Wor-er] the on-line chatting [Wa-ai], and they [Wth-z] have many many er on-line friends [Mr]. Er they [Wth-z] even to the degree that they [Wth-z] they [Wth-z] are dictate [S1] to er on-line chatting [Wa-ai]. I don't think [Wth-s] this is a very good ha a good habit [Wa-a] for them [Wth-z], because [Ws-s] er on one [Wo-va] hand, this'll cost [Wo-ou] them [Wth-z] er lots of time. And er some of thems [Wth-z] agrees [Ws-ts] in studying. </sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> I'm sorry I I have to stop you, because you time is up. OK, No. 2, please [Ws-s]? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp2> OK. I agree with Miss ***. Everything has two sides, the negative and positive. Er er First of all, talk about advantage of using computers. First er you know it is very convenient [W1e-ei] for the student to study in the Internet for there so many informations we can check and we can find there, and also you can see many universities have set up their pages on the computers so you can you can find your instructors or instructors or you can find special show classes in the net. Ern But the disadvantages er are maybe sometimes er it will be a little difficult for you to to find your instructors and ask her ask he or her questions face to face. Ern... it's it's not very er I mean it's not very convenient. Er sometimes somebody who deeply involved in the Internet, er such as chatting [Pa-n], playing games. And this will maybe er this will er lack they will lack their abilities to chat [Pa-n] with others in reality. So I think maybe er it's a little er sometimes just the negative part, maybe sometimes will be too high. For exam, to to me, for example, some good friends [Mr] she thought she would love a boy who is in chatting [Pa-n] on the Internet, but I think it's it's it don't real, it doesn't real and it really er upset [Pe-n] her for such a long time. So I I hope the student I hope, er especially the university students should pay much attention on the Internet and make good use of it. And not just only chat [Pa-n] or play on the Internet. That's all. Thank you. </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Thank you. And [Pd-er] Mr. ***, please? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> OK. Just now [Wow-o] the two ladies give us a very [Wv-w] [We-ai] good interest [M2t]. I think [Mk] [Wth-s] in modern times, the computer has [Wa-a] been more and more popular in our [Wou-o] daily lives [Ws-ts]. Ern Wu may cards, there is se-several er user of computers. Er We [Ww-v] can [Wa-a] er see movies er and listen music in our ern on our computer. We [Ww-v] can [Wa-a] also play electric electric games on line. And there is several ern points of ern advantages [Wv-w] on line ern to play games on line and to see movies and to listen musi erm music. I think [Wth-s] the main mm the main erm advantages [Wv-w] of mm see movies on line is er it is quite cheap. Maybe you can you cost only one or two yuan you can see a a large movie. And if you go to the muse to go to the er  sorry, er you may you may cost er ten [We-er] or more yuan to see a movie. And the there [Wth-z] is also some disadvantages [Wg-z] to see movies on computer, mm maybe you it may cost a lot of time of the students, er especially we [Ww-v] college [Wg-z] students. And as to electric mm it can also give [Wv-w] us a very [Wv-w] good training ern to er our our abilities. But there [Wth-z] is a lot of bad [Wa-ai] [Md] er bad [Wa-ai] [Md] things [Wth-s] doing by the electric games. Ern the students er involved in the electric games, if may erm may erm erm lost erm may go to the net of caf [S1] to play games. Ern but er they should to go to the classroom to study [Pu-r]. Then they may failed in many examinations but [Pt-er] erm he he won't threw it unhappy, he he erm he played erm his happy. I think [Wth-s] this is the disadvantage [Wv-w] of the electric [Mc] games. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. Right. Now all have some idea of the benefits and problems involved in the use of computers. I'd like you to discuss [Wc-k] this topic further, and see if you can agree on what is the greatest contribution of the computer [Wo-e] and what is the most [Wo-o] serious problem brought about by its use. OK. During [Mu-er] the discussion, you may argue with each other, or ask each questions to clarify a point. You'll have about four and a half minutes to er for for the discussion. OK. And you performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Remember during the discussion [Wc-k], you should try to come to an point or 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. Can began? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Maybe you first. </sp2>
<sp1> OK. OK. And [Pd-er] er there are s very very serious problems [We-e] exist in the Internet [We-ai]. As we er we all know that there are some hackers, er especially in the United States [Wts-s], a very a nation very advanced in computer. There are some hackers [Wa-ei] even use their use to enter the [We-i] national [W1a-ai] defense [W2e-a] system. And I think [Wth-s] this [Wth-z] will cause some very serious damages [W1a-ai] to a country. </sp1>
<sp2> Er er I agree with Miss ***, because she thinks the security in the Internet now is very serious for the lack so many things about laws and regulations. They haven't got enough to protect the interest on the Internet. So I think it's a really a big a problem, and maybe the the most serious problem. And I think the the greatest contribution that Internet had made is that you can, and the world has been so small. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes. Yes. </sp3>
<sp2> Yes. We can we can make connection with others very easily and convenient and we can chat for informations all around the world. I think is the biggest contributions that computer has made worth. </sp1>
<sp3> Yes. Yes. Er I I'm agree with the two girls. Er </sp3>
<sp2> Wasay. </sp2>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> You can go on. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> OK. I think the Internet [W2e-ai] is all the most [Wo-o] [Pt-er] the the most [Wo-o] [Pt-er] the most [Wo-o] [Pt-er] erm contribution of the computer, and also the mm mm very large problems [Wo-ou] [Mb]. Er er the Internet [W2e-ai] may bring bring us very [Wv-w] er very [Wv-w] mm a large among amount [Wou-o] of information. It cause lots of problems [Wo-ou] [Mb], such as as the she said the hackers, and the ern. Also there is something unhealth [Wea-a] to the er especially to the er youngers. Er there is something [Wth-s] er something [Wth-s] mm for ern virus [Pu-n] and other things [Wth-s]. </sp3>
<sp1> As for the high, they [Wth-z] er sees on the white [Wwh-v] [Mt] pages. I think [Wth-s] our government should er make some regulations to limit the netizens' [W1e-ai] behavior on Internet [W2e-ai]. </sp1>
<sp2> Yes. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes. Mm </sp3>
<sp2> I think another problem is er the administration [W1a-e] [Wtr-tr] and the adminis-administrative [W1a-e] [Wtr-tr] apartment should get much more control on the er Internet club. So now you see there so many club they use to as the game's club. There so many people er play on the Internet and chat [Pa-n] on the Internet. I think it's too bad. It's waste of time and also it is waste of money. So I think the administrative [W1a-e] [Wtr-tr] apartment should do do much more about this. </sp2>
<sp1> I mean in the Internet [W2e-ai] club, there're also some obscene pictures on the [Wth-z] screen. It's very mm dangerous for especially [Wp-p] for the er younger generation. </sp1>
<sp3> Yes. And the mm the such a a large amount [Wou-o] of students playing games. Ern may may take may take a large economy benefits for the [Wth-z] net boss boss and to some er er to the China telecom or tele er the telecom companies. But it real do really take lots of problems [Wo-ou] [Mb], the students of the college may take pay pay too more too much a-attention on the games and their studies will be threw away. </sp3>
<sp1> Yeah. </sp1>
<sp2> Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes. </sp3>
<sp2> Erm So that's just just the two sides of one object. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes. </sp3>
</sp1> And I think we should make make more good use of the [We-i] the [We-i] positive one, not just focus on the negative one, especially we we should get out from the games, maybe and chat [Pa-n]. </sp1>
<interrupted>
<sp3> Take take its advantages [Wv-w] [Wg-z] and throw [Wth-s] the disadvantages [Wv-w] [Wg-z] disadvantages [Wv-w] [Wg-z] await away. </sp3>
</interrupted>
<sp2> Yeah. </sp2>
<sp3> Yes. </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. That's all? </interlocutor>
<sp2> Yeah. </sp2>
<interlocutor> OK. Mr. ***, I have er I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic of the use of computers. </interlocutor>
<sp3> OK. </sp3>
<interlocutor> So that is what other electronic devices do you often use besides the computer? OK? What other electronic devices? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Er without [Wou-o] electric? </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. What other electronic devices do you often use besides computer? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes? Besides computer. Er Maybe I think [Wth-s] [Pk-er] is the [Wth-z] the [Wth-z] maybe calculator. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> A calculator calculator. What about others? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> For the student of engineering [W1e-i]. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK> </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> They have [Wa-a] to do a lot of calculators to er to do with all can [Wa-a] studies, so ca-calculator is very [Wv-w] important for our [Wou-o] for we engineering [W1e-i] mm major students. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK. How about others? Others? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Others? I think. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Electronic devices? </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Er TV. </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> TV? OK. That's good. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> Mm </sp3>
<interlocutor> OK. That's the end of the test. I think you done a good job. See see you. Give me your admission tickets, please, as you can leave now, and the card. </interlocutor>
