    Listening Prog.3 3rd
    SECTION 1
    JOAN: Right... let s try and get it sorted out today so we don t have it hanging over us. OK?
    PETER: Good idea. I''ll take notes.
    JOAN: First thing . numbers... have we got anything definite?
    PETER: Well.. . I''ve been working it out and I think 40 to 43.
    JOAN: Shall we put 45 to be on the safe side? Example
    PETER: Yep, fine.
    JOAN: Dates ... well. That''s straightforward.
    PETER: The last working day before Christmas ... which is...
    JOAN: . which is December the 21 st.
    PETER: . which is going to be pretty difficult to book at Christmas so we''d better think of
    two or three places just to be on the safe side.
    JOAN: Well, last year''s was hopeless.
    PETER: The Red Lion, wasn''t it?
    JOAN: Yep. We ought to go for something more expensive, cos you .
    PETER: . you gets what you pay for.
    JOAN: That new Indian restaurant in Wetherfield is supposed to be excellent... the Raj doot. Qi
    PETER: How do you spell that?
    JOAN: R-A-J-D-O-O-T.
    PETER: But it''s bound to be packed.
    JOAN: Well, let''s put that down as the first choice and have some back-ups. What about the Q2
    Park View Hotel as a second choice?
    PETER: Yes, that''s always reliable. Park View Hotel.
    JOAN: And the London Arms in case. Q3
    PETER: London Arms .
    JOAN: I''ll call them now if you want.
    PETER: No. I''ll do it, Joan. You''re really busy. Have you got the numbers?
    JOAN: Not for the Rajdoot, but... right... Park View Hotel: 777192 and ... London Arms: Q4
    208657.
    PETER: Great. Before I ring, we''d better just make sure they''re within the price range.
    JOAN: Up to Ê15 a head?
    PETER: I think you''ll find some people won''t be able to go that high.
    JOAN: Well, you can''t get anything decent under Ê10.
    PETER: OK. We''ll say Ê12?
    JOAN: OK.
    PETER: And we''d better make sure there''s good vegetarian food.
    JOAN: And a non-smoking section! You know what the boss is like. Q5
    PETER: Don''t remind me. I''ll let you know as soon as I get anything.
    PETER: Good news. 1 found Rajdoot''s number straight away and they can fit us in. Their
    Christmas menu sounds great. JOAN: What is it?
    PETER: French onion soup or fruit juice. JOAN: Uh-huh.
    PETER: Roast dinner or lentil curry .. . sounds ordinary but my friend said it was really Q6
    tasty.
    JOAN: Umm ... lentil curry ... that''s unusual.
    PETER: Then for dessert there''s tra***ional plum pudding or apple pie, plus coffee. JOAN: That sounds really good for Ê12. Did you book it?
    PETER: Well, I said I''d check with the staff first. But they did say they''d hold the booking Q7
    until next Wednesday anyway. Oh, and if we go ahead, they''d like a Ê50 deposit.
    JOAN: 50 is normal. that''s fine.
    PETER: And they want a letter.
    JOAN: Right... to confirm.
    PETER: And they say with such large numbers we have to choose the menu in advance. Q8
    JOAN: That won''t be a problem. I''ll put up a notice with details of the restaurant and the
    menu. When did you say they wanted confirmation by?
    PETER: It was . let''s see . the 4th of November. Q9
    JOAN: Where do you think I should put up the notice? Where everyone''s guaranteed to
    see it.
    PETER: On the cafe noticeboard I should think.
    JOAN: Hardly anyone looks at that.
    PETER: Well, the Newsletter is probably your best bet. Q10
    JOAN: Good idea. I''ll go and do that now.

    SECTION 2
    TUTOR: . So, I''ll hand over now to Julie Brooks.
    JULIE Thank you. Welcome to the Sports Centre. It''s good to see that there are
    BROOKS: so many people wanting to find out about our sports facilities. First of all,
    membership. All students at the college are entitled to become members of the Sports Centre, for an annual fee of Ê9.50. To register with us and get your membership card, you need to come to reception, between 2 and 6 pm, Monday to Thursday. I''m afraid we can''t register new members on Friday, so it''s Monday to Thursday, 2 to 6, at reception. Now, there are three things that you must remember to bring with you when you come to register; they are: your Union card, a recent passport-sized photograph of yourself, and the fee. It doesn''t matter whether you bring cash or a cheque. We can''t issue your card unless you bring all three; so, don''t forget: your Union card, passport photo and fee. Then once you have got your sports card, you will need to bring it with you whenever you come to book or use any Sports Centre facilities.
    Booking over the phone is not allowed, so you have to come here in
    person, with your card, when you want to book. Our opening hours seem
    to get longer every year. We are now open from 9am to 10pm on Q16
    weekdays and from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays. For those of you who are
    up and about early in the morning, we are introducing a 50 per cent
    ''morning discount'' this year. This is because the facilities tended to be
    under-used in the mornings last year. It means that all the sessions will be
    half-price between 9am and 12 noon on weekdays.
    So, what exactly are the facilities? What sports can you play here? Well,
    this room we are in at the moment is called the Main Hall, and it''s used
    mainly for team sports such as football, volleyball and basketball, but also
    for badminton and aerobics. On the other side of the reception area there is Q17/Q18
    the dance studio; this provides a smaller, more intimate space, which we
    use for ballet, modern dance and martial arts - not at the same time, of
    course. Then in a separate building, which you may have noticed on your
    way here . . . it''s on the other side of the car park . . . there are the squash Q19/Q20
    courts (six of them), and at the far end of the building a fitness room. This
    is our newest facility, only completed in the Spring, but it is already
    proving to be one of the most popular. As well as all these facilities
    available here on the campus, we also have an arrangement with the local
    tennis club, which is only two miles away, entitling our students to use
    their courts on weekday mornings in the Summer. So, I think that there
    should be something here for everybody, and I hope to see all of you at the
    Centre, making use of the facilities. If, in the course of the year, you have
    any suggestions as to how the service we provide might be improved or its
    appeal widened, I''ll be interested to hear from you.
    JOHN BROWN: Good morning, Mrs Collins. I just wondered if you could help me with this entry form for the Young Electronic Engineer competition.
    MARY COLLINS: Hello, John. Oh you''ve made the jigsaw for blind children, with the bleeper.
    JOHN BROWN: When they put a piece in correctly, that''s right. MARY COLLINS: OK, let''s have a look at the form.
    JOHN BROWN: Right, thanks. I''ve never filled in one of these before, so ...
    MARY COLLINS: Well, let''s just do it in pencil first. So, name of designers .. .
    IOHN BROWN: Well, Ann helped me with some of the electronics work.
    MARY COLLINS: Then you must put her name in as well. Right.. . Ann Ray. JOHN BROWN: Sorry. It''s ANNE and her surname is spelt R-E-A.
    MARY COLLINS: Good start! OK . REA. And age is easy. You''re both 16. What have you
    called the design? Keep it short. JOHN BROWN: What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped? MARY COLLINS: Too long. Just say blind puzzle, that''ll do.

    Q23
    JOHN BROWN: OK
    MARY COLLINS: Right now, size of equipment?
    JOHN BROWN: I''ve got it noted down here . urn, yes, length, sorry, width is 20 cm. MARY COLLINS: OK
    JOHN BROWN: Length is 50 cm and then the depth is ... well, it''s very little. MARY COLLINS: What would you say? I think you can be approximate. JOHN BROWN: I''d say 2.5 cm.
    MARY COLLINS: And the electricity supply? Is it mains operated? JOHN BROWN: No it isn''t, it''s actually battery. MARY COLLINS: OK, write battery.
    JOHN BROWN: Fine, OK. It''s the next bit that I''m really not sure what to put. MARY COLLINS: Well, special features means, what is really new about this, you know,
    suitable for the group you made it for. JOHN BROWN: Well, it''s safe for children. MARY COLLINS: That''s fine. Put that in. JOHN BROWN: OK, and of course we think it''s educational. MARY COLLINS: There you are, you''ve done it. Anything else? JOHN BROWN: Well, I think the price is good. MARY COLLINS: That''s probably the most important factor. JOHN BROWN: OK ... cheap price.
    MARY COLLINS: Which brings us on to the next bit. What''s the cost?
    JOHN BROWN: Well, the pieces we made out of old wood . they cost, ooh, $5.
    MARY COLLINS: And the electrics?
    JOHN BROWN: They were more expensive . say, $9.50. Brilliant. Now what do they
    mean by other comments? MARY COLLINS: It''s just a chance for you to say anything about the equipment, and
    problems you envisage. JOHN BROWN: Well, we would really like help with making plastic instead of wooden
    pieces.
    MARY COLLINS: Well, put something like, need help to make plastic pieces. JOHN BROWN: OK. And the other thing is, we''d like to develop a range of sizes. MARY COLLINS: That''s fine, then, just put that. And the last bit is, when will you send the equipment?
    JOHN BROWN: Well, we''ve got a lot of work on at the moment and we want to get it as
    good as we can. MARY COLLINS: Well, say 25 June? JOHN BROWN: Can''t we make it later?
    MARY COLLINS: Well, the last date is 1 July. Why not say that? JOHN BROWN: OK, that''s what I''ll put. MARY COLLINS: So that''s the lot!
    JOHN BROWN: That''s brilliant. Thanks very much, Mrs Collins. I''ll send it off straightaway.
    MARY COLLINS: Glad to be of help. Very best of luck to you both. JOHN BROWN: Thanks, bye. MARY COLLINS: Bye

    SECTION 4
    PAULA: Today I''d like to introduce Ted Hunter, who used to rear sheep and poultry but who is here to tell us about a rather unusual type of livestock that he''s been concentrating on in the last few years. Ted Hunter is a member of the Domesticated Ostrich Farming Association, and is here to tell us about the possibilities of breeding and rearing these birds here in this country.
    TED: Thank you, Paula. When you look at international restaurant menus and
    supermarkets they all tend to feature the same range of meats - beef, lamb,
    chicken, pork, that sort of thing. But people are always interested in something
    different and we''re now finding that farming can bring new types of meat to our
    tables. The kangaroo is one animal that''s now being farmed for its meat and eaten
    outside Australia, where it comes from. It looks and tastes rather like rabbit, Q31
    though it''s slightly darker in colour, but it is rather tough, so that''s a problem for Q32
    some people. Crocodiles are also being farmed for their meat. This is rather like
    chicken, pale and tender, and it''s getting quite fashionable. Some people also find
    it''s rather fatty, but I think it makes a really tasty sandwich. Now a third type of
    meat becoming increasingly available, and the one that I think is by far the nicest
    of the three, is ostrich, which most people say has a similar taste and texture to Q33
    beef. However, it''s much better for you than beef, as we''ll see later. Most people
    think of ostriches as wild animals, but in fact ostriches have been farmed in South
    Africa since around 1860. At first they were produced for their feathers. In Africa Q34
    they were used for tribal ceremonial dress and they were also exported to Europe
    and America where they were made into ladies'' fans and used for decorating hats. Q35
    Later, feather fans and big. decorated hats went out of fashion but ostriches were
    still bred, this time for their hide. This can be treated to produce about half a Q36
    square metre of leather - very delicate, fine stuff of very good quality. At the
    same time, some of the meat was used for biltong - the air-dried strips of meat
    popular in South Africa as a sort of fast food. However, recently there''s been
    more and more interest in the development of ostrich farming in other parts of the
    world, and more people are recognising its value as a food source. Ostrich meat is Q37
    slightly higher in protein than beef- and much lower in fats and cholesterol. It
    tastes good too. A series of European taste tests found that 82% of people prefer
    ostrich to beef. And one ostrich produces a lot of meat - from around 30 to 50 kg,
    mostly from the hindquarters of the bird. Farmed ostriches don''t need African
    climates, and in fact ostrich farming is now becoming well established in other
    parts of the world. However, setting up an ostrich farm isn''t something to embark
    on lightly. Mature breeding birds are very expensive - even a fertilised ostrich egg Q38
    isn''t cheap so you need quite a bit of capital to begin with. Then the farmer needs
    special equipment such as incubators for the eggs. The young chicks are very Q39
    dependent on human minders, and need a lot of attention from the people looking
    after them. In ad***ion, ostriches can''t be intensively farmed - they need space
    and exercise.

    farmers can use incubators and hatched chicks are nourished well and protected
    from danger, the failure rate on farms is very low indeed and almost all the
    fertilised eggs will hatch out into chicks which will in turn reach maturity. This is
    very different from the situation in the wild, where the vast majority of chicks will
    die or be killed before they grow up into mature ostriches. So it''s possible, once
    the initial outlay has been made, for the farmer to be looking at very good profit
    margins indeed. Ostrich farming is still in its early days outside Africa but we
    hope that ostrich meat will be freely available soon and before long will be as
    cheap as beef.

    Listening Prog.3 4th
    SECTION 1
    SARAH: John, I''ve just had some good news. Susan has had her baby.
    JOHN: Do you know when she had it?
    SARAH: Yesterday. The tenth of August. Example
    JOHN: Oh, my father was born on August the tenth. Give me the details and I''ll make a
    note for everyone at work.
    SARAH: OK
    JOHN: Well, was it a boy or a girl?
    SARAH: It''s a boy.
    JOHN: And what are they going to call him?
    SARAH: Tom. Tom Lightfoot. It sounds quite good, don''t you think?
    JOHN: Yes, that has quite a good ring to it.
    SARAH: You know he''s quite a big baby. He weighed four and a quarter kilos when he Q1
    JOHN: was born. That does sound big, four and a quarter kilos.
    SARAH: And he''s long too, forty-six centimetres. Q2
    JOHN: Mmmm. Tall parents. He''ll grow up to be over two metres, I''d say.
    SARAH: With masses of black hair, curly black hair. You know, we should go and visit
    them in hospital. What about tomorrow afternoon at around 1 pm?
    JOHN: Yes, OK.
    SARAH: Where should we meet? ... Ah, I could come and pick you up at your house, if
    you like.
    JOHN: Yes, that would be wonderful. My car is still off the road.
    SARAH: Just refresh my memory. What''s the address again?
    JOHN: It''s 15 Chesterfield Road, Paddington.
    SARAH: It''s next to the library, isn''t it?
    JOHN: Not exactly. It''s next to a bank. The State Bank actually. The library is opposite Q3/Q4
    us, on the corner.
    SARAH: That''s right, and there''s a garage on the other street corner. I remember now. Q5
    JOHN: So, you''ll pick me up at a quarter to one and we''ll be there at one easily.
    SARAH: Now what should we take? We must take them something.
    JOHN: I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don''t you? SARAH: Well, not really. Everyone always brings flowers and they don''t last. I think it''s
    much better to take a pot plant, so she can take it home with her. JOHN: Yes, but then she has to remember to water it. What about a big box of
    chocolates?
    SARAH: OK, chocolates sound fine. We should get something for the baby too. What do Q6
    you think?
    JOHN: Yes, you''re right. What do you think of something like baby shampoo or talcum
    powder?
    SARAH: Or we could get a little hat, or something like that. JOHN: We don''t know the size, or the right colour, do we?
    SARAH: I think we should get something they wouldn''t normally buy. What about a soft toy of some sort?
    JOHN: Yes, a soft toy. Q7
    SARAH: What about a teddy bear?
    JOHN: I could get one early tomorrow at the market and I could probably get the Q8/Q9
    chocolates there too. SARAH: Good.
    JOHN: So you''ll pick me up at a quarter to one at my place and I''ll make sure that I''ve got the presents.
    SARAH: You must remember how much you paid for the gifts, so I can pay you back for
    half. If they''re going to be from both of us, I would like to go shares. JOHN: OK. I''d say the chocolates would be about $15 for something nice and not too
    small and the toy would be around $35 or so, I''d think. Q10
    SARAH: Good, that''ll be fine. About $25 each then. Good, I''ll pick you up then on
    Sunday at twelve forty-five. JOHN: OK.
    SARAH: See you then. Bye.
    SECTION 2
    PRESENTER: Good evening. Tonight s show comes to you from the Good Home
    Exhibition in Duke''s Court, where we''ve been trying out some of the latest gadgets on show here and getting our resident expert - Liz Shearer - to tell us which ones are worth buying and which will die a death.
    LIZ SHEARER: Well, hello. Yes, John, I''ve been investigating four new household gadgets and sorting out the advantages and disadvantages and then really deciding what are ''Must buys'', what are ''Maybe buys'' and what are ''Never buys''. Let''s start with this vacuum flask for keeping drinks hot. Well... I felt this
    had quite a lot going for it, most of all is the fact that it contains no glass O11
    and is therefore unbreakable to all intents and purposes. It''s made of stainless steel which is guaranteed for 20 years . hope that''s long enough .
    and it''s true what the manufacturer claims - that it does maintain heat for Q12
    18 hours. So that''s pretty good. On the down side, it really works out to be
    quite expensive and, much more surprisingly, it unfortunately leaves a Q13
    strange taste . . . you know when you''ve drunk from it... so all in all, my
    recommendation would be it''s got plenty of advantages, but it is rather
    expensive so I''d say you should maybe buy it. Moving on to a natty little
    device .. . the Whistle Key Holder. Basically this is where you whistle and
    the key holder gives off a high pitched noise and flashes light so you can
    find it. One advantage of this model is that it also has a small light. You
    press the button and this means you can find keyholes easily. I also felt the
    small size was a real advantage. On the Q14

    weaker side, I did find the noise unpleasant. Which I m sure the designers Q15
    could have done something about. And I found that it didn''t work through Q16
    metal, so it''s mainly useful for finding in coat pockets, cushions, etc. But taken as a whole I thought it was a masterpiece of design and would highly recommend it.
    The third gizmo is called the Army Flashlight because it was developed Q17
    initially for military use. It works by squeezing the handle to generate the Q18 019
    power. Its advantages are that it can be used for outside activities, and also Q20
    ... and this is one of the surprising features... it does work underwater. My main objection to it though was although it did work in these con***ions, this model gave off a weak light. So my recommendation I''m afraid would have to be to avoid this one. The decoy camera was last on my list. This is a fake video camera which you fix to your wall to scare off burglars. The advantage of this model is something which makes it look very realistic ... its flashing light. On the down side, it was quite difficult to fix to the wall. However, burglary is such a major problem these days that it is worth the effort, so this gets my strong recommendation. PRESENTER: OK. Thanks for that, Liz.
    SECTION 3
    BRYSON: Well, Amina, thanks for letting me have your draft in such good time. AMINA: Oh, that''s alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can
    see that I decided to change the topic - I had been interested in looking at
    Barings Factory.
    BRVSON: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact... well.I have to Q21
    say that I thought it was good. AMINA: Oh?
    BRYSON: There''s still lots of work to be done . AMINA: Oh yes ... of course.
    BRYSON: But there''s plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine but
    the middle section really stood out for me ... most interesting. Q22
    AMINA: That''s amazing because I really didn''t find it a bit easy to write . Q23
    BRYSON: How long did you work on the whole thing?
    AMINA: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and
    then I dashed the writing off very quickly ... so about four weeks in all. BRYSON: Well, that''s about par for the course. You''ve got a while yet to make the
    changes.
    AMINA: Oh right... no problem ...
    BRYSON: Right. Let''s have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings
    ... the broad divisions are good but you''ll have to re-do the actual headings. Example
    I''ve made some suggestions in the margins ...
    AMINA: OK. Thanks.
    BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing ... I can see why you put it there but it Q24
    really isn''t relevant to the approach you''ve taken. AMINA: I think I see what you mean. BRYSON: Now . . . what did I say about the interviews? AMINA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable. BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they''re very complex and rather unclear at the moment.
    You''re going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. Q25
    AMINA: OK ... as long as 1 don''t have to remove them altogether . . . BRYSON: No, don''t worry.
    AMINA: What about the chronology ... the list of dates? I wasn''t sure whether I should rewrite those.
    BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear too Q26
    simplistic.
    AMINA: OK, if it''ll help.
    BRYSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I''d like you to look at. Have you got a pen? Right. . . Approaches to Local History by John Mervis . . .
    AMINA: Right.. .
    BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data.
    Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. Q27
    AMINA: Sight and Sound.
    BRYSON: Then you know I''m going away on holiday next week . . . AMINA: Yes.
    BRYSON: So when you''ve made the changes I suggest you show the work to your Support Q28
    Tutor.
    AMINA: Support Tutor . . . right. . .
    BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading . . . Q29
    AMINA: Proof reading . . . uh-huh. When by, do you think?
    BRYSON: I''d aim for 29 June and after that you should get it laser printed . . . but be Q30
    careful because the computer centre closes on 10 July. AMINA: And then I hand it in to ... ? BRYSON: Oh, the Faculty Office as usual.
    AMINA: OK, that''s fine. I think I''m all set now! Thanks very much for all your help. BRYSON: A pleasure. See you when I get back. AMINA: Yep. Thanks, Dr Bryson. Bye. BRYSON: Bye.
    SECTION 4
    Good afternoon. I''m Paula Bundell and I am giving you the lectures on Environmental Noise this term. Today we are going to look into the effects of noise on a planned housing estate in a particularly difficult part of the new Manchester Park area. This site is not as bad as some 1 have researched in the past. The Blacktown airport is closed from 6pm to 7am and this is a great advantage to the site. The only noise after dark
    is from the highway and the traffic is somewhat reduced between 7.30pm and 5.30am. So, Q31
    the people most affected by the noise will be, I expect, housewives. By the time most of the Q32
    students and workers have arrived back home in the evening during the week the noise will have abated to a fairly large extent. The weekends are still a problem of course, but the
    traffic is certainly reduced on Saturdays to a large extent and even more so on Sundays. Of Q33
    course modifications to houses will be necessary at a site like this and they come at a
    significant cost to the developer and home buyer. The modifications I am about to outline Q34
    will add about $25,000 to the price of a newly-built house. That will still mean a cheaper
    house than in a less noisy and more desirable area. A bit of background would not go astray.
    I understand that you are all familiar with the proposed development site at Manchester
    Park. It''s a particularly difficult one in terms of noise with the highway along the eastern
    perimeter and the Blacktown airport not 3 kilometres away to the north. Of course, those
    nearest the highway will be the worst hit, with heavy traffic noise as well as the noise from
    the light planes overhead. As you all know, the normal noise threshold for private housing is
    55 decibels. At this site the levels have been recorded as high as 67 decibels. Q35
    The construction of the houses has to be somewhat modified from houses in most areas. In the houses on the highway and in the noisiest areas of this site there will be a need for
    specialised double glazing and special acoustic seals will have to be fitted to the doors. All Example
    exterior doors in this especially noisy pocket will have to be solid core wood doors with
    hinges. Every house built on this site, not just those adjacent to the highway or nearest to the
    airport, will require high density insulation materials in the roof. Not only will all the roofs
    need insulating, the exterior walls will be required to be double brick. All ceilings will Q36
    require double thickness plaster board to be used in the construction. In the noisiest areas
    mechanical ventilation will have to be installed in the exterior walls. In those areas with
    sealed windows it will be necessary to fit fans with absorbers to cut out the noise in those
    particular houses. Air con***ioning units could also be fitted in the ceilings of such houses Q37
    but this is substantially more expensive than fans, and may not be needed on this site.
    Coming back now to the double glazing I mentioned before. Specialised double glazing
    requires a larger air gap between the inner and outer glass than normal double glazing. The
    gap must be at least 7 centimetres. The thickness of the glass is also a factor, 8 millimetres Q3S
    on the outside and 6 on the inside pane. It is essential that the glass be thicker on the outside
    than on the inside and that the gap between the panes of glass be a minimum of 7
    centimetres. Obviously, the noise factor will have to be taken into consideration with the
    layout of the houses. Living areas will have to be designed at the back of the houses away
    from the highway. Bedrooms and living rooms will have to be built towards the back, and Q39
    for those houses closest to the highway two layers of plasterboard will be needed for the interior bedroom walls. Those rooms constructed at the front of the houses should be
    garages, laundries, kitchens, bathrooms and dining rooms. I have come to the conclusion Q40
    that this development should go ahead, but with various acoustic modifications according to the position of the block in relation to the highway and intersection.

    NEWS E***ORS DECIDE WHAT TO BROADCAST ON TELEVISION AND WHAT TO PRINT IN NEWSPAPERS. WHAT FACTORS TO INFLUENCE THESE DECISIONS? DO WE BECOME USED TO BAD NEWS?
    It has often been said that â?oGood news is bad newsâ? because it does not sell newspapers. A radio station that once decided to present only good news soon found that it had gone out of business for lack of listeners. Bad news on the other hand is so common that in order to cope with it, we often simply ignore it. We have become immune to bad news and the newspapers and radio stations are aware of this.
    While newspapers and TV stations may aim to report world events accurately, be they natural or human disasters, political events or the horrors of war, it is also true that their main objective is to sell newspapers and attract listeners and viewers to their stations. For this reason TV and radio stations attempt *****it their listenersâ?T preferences. Programmes specializing in pop music or TV soap operas focus more on local news, home issues and up-to-date traffic reports. The more serious stations and newspapers like to provide â?oso calledâ? objective new reports with e***orial comment aimed at analyzing the situation.
    If it is true, then, that newspapers and TV stations are tailoring their news to their readersâ?T and viewersâ?T requirements, how can they possibly be reporting real world events in an honest and objective light? Many radio and TV stations do, in fact, report items of good news but they no longer call this news. They refer to these as human interest stories and package them in programmes specializing, for instance, in consumer affairs or local issues. Good news now comes to us in the form of documentaries: the fight against childrenâ?Ts cancer or AIDS, or the latest developments in the fight to save the planet from environmental pollution.
    WE ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT ON COMPUTERS. THEY ARE USED IN BUSINESSES, HOSPITALS, CRIME DETECTION AND EVEN TO FLY PLANES. WHAT THINGS WILL THEY BE USED FOR IN THE FUTURE? IS THIS DEPENDENCE ON COMPUTERS A GOOD THING OR SHOULD WE BE MORE SUSPICIOUS OF THEIR BENEFITS?
    Computers are a relatively new invention. The first computers were built 50 years ago and it is only in the last 30 or so years that their influence has affected our everyday life. Personal computers were introduced as recently as the early eighties. In this short time they have made a tremendous impact on our lives. We are now so dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine what things would be like today without them. You have only got to go into a bank when their main computer is broken to appreciate the chaos that would occur if computers were suddenly removed world-wide.
    In the future computers will be used to create bigger and even more sophisticated computers. The prospects for this are quite alarming. They will be so complex that no individual could hope to understand how they work. They will bring a lot benefits but they will also increase the potential for unimaginable chaos. They will, for example, be able to fly planes in the vicinity of an airport. Providing all the computers are working correctly nothing can go wrong. If one small program fails â?" disaster.
    There is a certain inevitability that technology will progress and become increasingly complex. We should, however, ensure that we are still in a position where we are able to control technology. It will be all too easy *****ddenly discover that technology is controlling us. By then it might be too late. I believe that it is very important to be suspicious of the benefits that computers will bring and to make sure that we never become totally dependent on a completely technological world.
