1. Many people think that television is evil. It isn’t all that bad. TV is a friend for the elderly and an entertainer-babysitter for the young. It makes burglars think we’re home when we’re not. It entertains us cheaply with live action sports, great movies, ballets, concerts and singular events of the world all in living colour. It educates us about everything from heathy diets to international problems.

2. How much television watching should parents allow? There is certainly nothing inherently wrong with TV. However, research has shown that as the amount of time spent watching TV goes up, the amount of time devoted to homework, study, social development and physical activities decreases. Television is bound to have its tremendous impact on a child, both in terms of how many hours a week he watches TV and of what he sees.

3. With television programs designed specifically for babies, the question whether kids under two years of age should be watching becomes very important. We are learning more all the time about early brain development, but we do not yet have a clear idea how television may affect it. Some studies link early TV viewing with later attention problems. Other experts disagree with these results, though they admit that TV viewing before age three may hurt later development.

4. Just about everyone now owns and watches television. We’ve become accustomed to a fairly predictable and monotonous home life. Every working day we come home and switch on the TV. Every night we cook dinner, clean up the kitchen, watch some TV. Every weekend we do the shopping and settle in to watch a movie. It’s relaxing to lie down on the sofa at the end of a tiring day and to flip through the channels with the remote control in one hand and a bowl of chips in the other.

5. Before TV families used to sit down together for dinner and dinner was hardly over with when the kids wanted to go outside and play with their friends. Then came black and white TV! It brought entertainment into our homes and also with this came the media. In the 1960s

TV was really worth watching. There were all types of movies on. Most of today’s kids would find those programmes boring now, but we laughed and it was good light entertainment.

1. Five years ago we decided to get rid of our TV. So out went the TV set and in came books, cooking, lengthy discussions, hiking and much needed sleep. Life has become more relaxed and at last we are getting as much sleep as we need. To stay up to date on world events, we use the Internet. If there is a big sports game that my husband wants to watch, he heads to a friend’s house and they watch it together. Or sometimes we even head to the stadium to catch the real thing as a family.

2. Parents can show how to choose useful and interesting TV programmes. They can help the kids to find informative, educational programmes. There are some remarkable things for a kid to see and enjoy on television, and parents can encourage them while discouraging watching undesirable programmes. Parents should remember that while television can give preschoolers a lot of useful information, it doesn’t raise their IQ or improve their school grades.

Текст для аудирования

Now we are ready to start.

Dialogue А

A: Can I help you?

B: Yes, please. You see, I want to adopt a puppy, but I don’t know much about

dogs or how to take care of them.

A: Right. I can recommend this book. Have a look – it gives a detailed

description of the most popular breeds of dog so that you can choose which

is the best for you.

B: Oh, and it also contains very good pictures! These puppies are so cute! Yes,

I’m taking it …though the price is rather high… Anyway.

A: The cash-desk is over there.

B: Fine. Thank you.

Dialogue B

A: I’ve got a complaint, I’m afraid.

B: What’s happened, sir? Just let us know. We do everything we can to keep

our guests happy.

A: The problem is …that …there’s a dog in the room next to mine.

B: Yes, and what’s the actual problem? Many of our visitors choose us for just

that reason. We admit pets which is very convenient for those who travel

with animals.

A: But why did nobody tell me about that? The dog barks! I can’t sleep

properly at night.

B: Sorry, sir. But the only thing we can do is to offer you another room. I’ll just

check which one would be quieter.

Dialogue C

A: It’s pretty cold today, isn’t it?

B: Yes, it is. But I’ve got used to walking in any weather.

A: Is it because you have to walk your dog?

B: Yes. Twice a day, at least. We are heading to the pond at the moment – there

are special facilities for dogs there, like ladders and ramps. Are you going

there too?

A: Oh, no, I’m going home. That’s enough jogging for me for today. Too cold!

Dialogue D

A: Are you leaving? So soon?

B: Yeah. I have to. I need to walk my dog and he won’t accept any excuses on

my part.

A: Yeah, I understand… What kind of dog have you got?

B: A Labrador. He’s very clever but hates it if we don’t follow his routine.

A: That’s a shame… I mean that you are leaving… because it’s so cool here.

And the music is great.

B: Ok. Just one more dance and I’ll be off.

A: Yay! A good decision.
