<interrupted>
<interlocutor> All right. Now let's move on to something more specific. The topic for our discussion today is smoking. Each of you will be given a card with [Wth-z] two picture showing smoking related problems. I'd like you to talk about people's views on smoking according to your card. You will have one [Wo-va] 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. Now here are your cards. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<interlocutor> Now, ***, would you please [Ws-s] begin. *** and ***, please [Ws-s] put your cards aside, and listen to what *** has to say. </interlocutor>
<sp3> OK. I think smoking er for smoking, different people will have different views. In my card, I can see ern two people are smoking while is smoking, he is doing his work. And the other is sleeping when he is smoking. I think it will cause a fire [Wi-a] and cause a big disaster. An-d is smoking really a bad thing? And I think the the disadvantage are very evident in my picture. Er We we all know that some people said that smoking can keep them refresh and relaxed that they'll concentrate more on their work. I admit that because [Ws-s] smoking smoke cigarette con-contain many many nicotins, it is easy to make them er with er with more energetic an-d they can they can have big er they can have more er they can do their work with more efficiency, ern but we'll know smoke is bad for one's health, mm and and sometimes they will cause cause the disasters, ern such as many people like to er throw the trash [Wtr-ch] of the cigarette on the street, it will pollute the air and like man </sp3>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> OK. Now ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp2> OK. First I want to briefly answer this questions. I don't think smoking is good for public relations. No, on the left of the page [Pe-er] I see it's an office room, I think. Only one person is smoking [Wo-o] and three other one er from this expression, I think they are very tired they it. If I was I was one of the members, I think I'll tell him to pay much attention to other's feelings. And on the right I see this is a gathering, some friends get together to talk something, and they are giving each smo-smokes want to er smoking, but there is only, there are still people don't smoke, they didn't pay any attention to other's feelings. Now I think smoking isn't very good which choose to connect with each other. We have a lot we have a lot of ways [Ww-v] to choose, such as drinking tea, and talking someone talking something before er a formal dinner, so I don't think smoking is very good. Mm because [Wse-s] it's bad for your health, that's the most important thing. And it's not polite to the people you to the people don't smoke. </sp2>
<interlocutor> All right. Miss ***, it's your turn. </interlocutor>
<sp1> Er the pictures I've gotten er have two parts. Er One part is er tell us er tells us er one part tells us a man in the hospital [S2] who has a lung cancer and his relatives are very sad on that, but he is still smoking. Ern On part on another part of the picture er shows er an old man is smoking on the on the side of the road. Er smoke er smoke problem is very serious in the modern society. There are more and more po-pollution on smoke. Er as is well known, smoking is very harm to harmful to the people's health, but er there're only there're still many people erm smoking from the old man to the young people, er even the students. Er I think er smoking is very harm not to only to the people's individual the health, but also to the public public so-so and so our government [Mo] should establish [Wt-t] many er laws to er disturb [S1] the smoking er... especially in the public places [Wa-i], er er many we [Ww-v] should [Pd-er] er </sp1>
<interrupted>
<interlocutor> Right, now we all some idea of the problems related to smoking. I'd like [Wi-e] you to discuss this topic further, and see if you can agree on whether [Wwh-v] smoking should be prohibited. During the discussion, 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. Your performance will be judged according to your contribution to the discussion. Remember during the discussion, you should try to come to an agreement on whether smoking should be prohibited. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp3> I'm really in favor of prohibiting smoking because [Wse-s] there are many reasons. First I think smoking is not bad for the [We-i] is not only for the smokers but for the for the people around around them. We can see cigarette is bad for one's health. Every year there are many people call killed by cigarettes er by lung cancers, er chronic bronchitis [P2i-dg] and other related illnesses and the passive smoking is another ern another main reason for killing people. Ern So I think because [Ws-s] pe-people are not smoking, they don't have to pay the price for the smokers. </sp3>
<sp2> No. I'm quite agree with you. I think mm smoking is very [Wv-w] bad, we should er we should prohibit it. Mm now for some younger generation, as we know, they smoke for they smoke they began to smoking at very [Wv-w] young age. Mm I don't know why they do this. Maybe do they er they are mm  they think his father or his mother smokes, and they are influenced by them or the pills they get er they mm connect with each other, and to and I not health not healthy and to get lung cancer and whole nation the whole nation is will [Ww-v] get into a very er will [Ww-v] get to a very low a level, I think. </sp2>
<sp1> Er er what your say maybe is true. But I think it is easier to say er than done. Er many [Wa-a] people know the harmness harmness of the er er of the smoking, but er they try er they try to give up the smoking several [Wv-w] times, but mmthey all they always fails, such as my father, he try to give up smoking er many times and er they found they couldn't do it easier. So I think [Wth-s] society should er help the the, society should help the humans to give up the smoking. Erm for example, our [Wou-o] government [Wv-w] er can decrease the productivity of the er cigarettes. And [Pd-er] so I think it can help people to give up smoking thoroughly [Wth-s] . I with mean, ***? </sp1>
<sp3> Yes. I agree with you. And I think smokers may may pay price for himself, but they don't influence the other people, especially the non-smokers. I have I have heard an example that is a woman. She is always [Ws-s] in good fit. But one day she is is examined that she had suffered lung cancer. And he she don't know why, and when a doctor telled telled her that because [Pau-r] [Ws-s] her parents are s-smokers, so she has she got the lung cancer. I think it's unfair to her. Mm she will suffered much from it. And also the and also the smokers are don't don't pay much attention on the environment [M1n] protection. They always throw the ash on the on the street, or smoking in the public places. They'll do more harm than other peopele do more harm to other peoples than themselves. What do you think? </sp3>
<sp2> Yes, I know. Er I think there're many examples around us are suffering from smoking. That's a very big si and very serious problem when when we are face now. So I think want to deal with this problem, there are is nation's there are is there are is nation's er responsibility. Er every I think er every people will try her or his best to help the people around you to give up smoking. Er the government is a most important role as they say. And I think some er if we [Ww-v] can unite a association a society association or union er to get together to mm to do more things to the erto do. Oh sorry. Er I can't found a proper word mm  mm that means mm let more and more people know this this problem is a serious one. </sp2>
<sp1> So I quite agree with all of you. As I think [Wth-s] the smoking problem isn't a personal problem. It is also a social problem. So er to er to protest [Wo-o] the smoking it's all of us er duty. We should regard it or er personal duty. So er I hope er smoking smoking problem should be er solved better and better in the future. </sp1>
<sp3> Yes, and I admit that government should pay much attention on it. And I think government should use the mass-media er make full use of the mass-media. He should let [We-ae] the people know that smoking is bad for the health. And he should let people know that smoking is prohibited. Mm So I think it will do many help to prohibit smoking. </sp3>
<sp1> Yeah, yes. I think school will play an important role, so I think. </sp1>
<interrupted> 
<interlocutor> OK. That's the end of the discussion. Now I'd like to ask you just one last question on the topic of smoking. Now,   ***. </interlocutor>
</interrupted>
<sp1> Er. </sp1>
<interlocutor> What would you do if your friend is a heavy smoker? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Er I think [Wth-s] erthe first er I do er is to er suggest suggest him not to smoke continuously [Mti]. I would tell him the er the harmness of the smoking, and mm ermake him know the er disadvantage of smoking and mm I think [Wth-s] he could er if he if he er will [Ww-v] er er listen to er listen to my advices er he may erm give up smoking. But if he er couldn't er couldn't er listen to me, er I will [Ww-v] mm er suggest er persuade [Wu-v] [Md] their parents er their friends around him, all of us should er should try our best to help him mm smoking er to give up smo-smoking. </sp1>.
<interlocutor> Mmhm. Er... ***. </interlocutor>
<sp2> Erm </sp2>
<interlocutor> Why do many young people enjoy smoking nowadays [M1a]? </interlocutor>
<sp1> Er why do many young people enjoy smoking? Yes that's a very mm a serious problem. As I think now the most important thing is that so many people around them smokes, I think [Mk]. Some people di-don't know why they want to why they are smoking. They are just to in er... in er in er they are just see others smoke and they are follow them and some think this is a fashion, especially some young boys, er they think that's bijiao cruel. Er and mm they don't they didn't care about the harm will [Ww-v] cause [Wau-au], because the harm will be the long di, a long term course influence. So now they just mm. they just see the present [We-ai] er feelings mm and </sp1>
<interrupted> 
<interlocutor> OK. Now, ***. </interlocutor>
</interrupted> 
<sp3> Er. </sp3>
<interlocutor> Is it possible for the government to pass a law to make smoking illegal? </interlocutor>
<sp3> Yes, I think government should pass the law immediately, because [Ws-s] smoking have endangered not only the our individual's that but also is a social problem. Er they are many reasons cause [Wau-er] the first </sp3>
<interrupted> 
<interlocutor> Is it possible? </interlocutor>
</interrupted> 
<sp1> Yeah yes, it's is very possible [Wss-z]. Yes, ern because [Wse-s] nowadays many people have realized the the realized the harmful the harm or smoking a cigarette. And many people are support the support to prohibit cigarette smoking. So I think [Pk-er] the government will gain various [Wa-e] support from the people. So I think [Pk-er] is very so I think [Pk-er] is very possible. Also but I think there are many obstacles, such as er the government every year will gain much money [Po-n] from [Wm-n] cigarette industry and [Pd-er] prohibit smoking will cause a lot of source on the gover a lot of benefit of the government. Mm I think government [Pmen] shouldn't sacrifice the people's health at the cost of of at the sacrifice the people's health and to er develop its economic benefit profits. Mm So I think [Pk-er] it's it is possible. </sp1>
<interlocutor> OK. That's the end of the test. Thank you everybody. </interlocutor>
<spall> Thank you. </spall>
<interlocutor> Good-bye. </interlocutor>
