Exercise 1 p.38 Audition
Jack: I think that the Internet is here to stay and will change al our lives for the better. For example, I think shopping as we know it will have disappeared by 2020 as it can be done electronically. Goods will be selected on screen and delivered to our door. I already buy books this way from an online bookshop and my mum orders her groceries on the net. I know that there are technical problems about the amount of information we can transmit but computer technology is increasing so fast that I am sure these problems will be solved. I think that in the future our computers will be part of the family. Well talk to them, ask them questions, and have access to all the knowledge in the world.
Liam: I think people are attaching too much importance to computers and the Internet. Very few aspects of our daily life require computers. Computer technology is irrelevant when we play sport, cook, drive, speak, have fun and are engaged in most of everyday life activities. You dont need a keyboard to play basketball. Have you tried surfing the net? It can take fifteen to thirty seconds for a single picture to appear. I think people will become bored with it, and the Internet will just be another fad. I havent got a computer and Im not getting one either.

For example, my elder sister is able to look after her baby and carry on working. She usus e-mail to stay in constant contact with her company. In a few years well be accessing the Internet from our TVs.

Exercise 2.p.55
I say, when this film of yours finishes? Oh, really, in an hour or so. What a pity! In 10 minutes the Animal Kingdom starts at the 1+1 channel. I always watch this programme, every week, Is true. Its so interesting. They show wild animals from all over the world: Africa, South and North America, Asia, Australia. I adore animals of Australia. Do you know that its the only continent of the world where marsupials (as kangaroos and others) live nowadays? They also have so many different birds, big and small. And sometimes this programme is shot at the Zoo. All the Zoos of the world! We can see the animals we have never seen alive. Panda for example. What a nice creature! It eats only bamboo shoots and it is very careful. Its almost impossible to meet it in the wild. Not to say that it lives only in China. And the film you are watching looks very much like the film you watched yesterday. Come on, lets switch over to my favourite programme. And you can watch almost the same film tomorrow shooting, running and driving like mad, oh yes, and kissing. All right, lets at least start to watch it. If its about Australian animals, well watch it till the very end. Thanks.
