Tapescript 10.1.2
Joe In my opinion, people won’t need televisions in the
future because the Internet is becoming more popular
day by day and we do not watch TV much.
Kyle Can I add something here?
Joe Sure.
Kyle Especially young people watch videos and live
streaming on the Internet. Also, we can watch the
news, documentaries and matches on the Internet
anywhere. To me, fewer people will prefer TV because
of this in the near future.
Tina I’m sorry for interrupting, but I think the TV will always
be the favorite for many people because there are
many houses without a computer and the Internet.
Having a television is easier and also cheaper.
Jane You have a point here, but in my opinion, every house
will have a computer and the Internet in the future for
lower costs.
Mike Sorry, may I have a word here?
Jane Sure.
Mike There are many poor countries in the world. It will not
be possible for them to have the Internet easily. I think
the TV will always be an important part of our lives.

Tapescript 10.3.1
Grace Hi, Lucas. Can you do me a favor?
Lucas Well... Let me see… OK, I have time for that. How can
I help you, Grace?
Grace Oh, thanks! I’m writing an article for my blog, and
interviewing people about some everyday topics for
use in the article. Here come the questions!
Lucas All right. I’m ready.
Grace How do you manage to stay focused on important
subjects during the day?
Lucas Er… Let me think. Well, I like trying to keep focused in
all ways. But… um, I’m not sure if I can do that every
time.
Grace Actually, you always look focused on the target.
Lucas Uh, I really try hard for that. It is all about being eager
to do your best at the right time.
Grace What would your ideal job be?
Lucas Hmm… What would be my ideal job? Well… I guess I
have it right now. I’m quite happy with the job I’m
doing.
Grace Lucky you are.
Lucas I am. I really like it.
Grace Oh, sorry, Lucas. Someone is calling. That’s OK. You
have been very helpful.
Lucas Not at all. See you on the weekend.
