Lesson Thirty-Four

　　Section One:

　　Tapescript.

　　Listen to these people talking about videos.

　　I borrow videos every week. I can watch cartoons of adventures at any time and I can watch them over and over again. I never watch children’s programs on television any more.

　　My wife likes the video because she doesn’t speak any English. But I say, if she doesn’t hear English, how can she learn it? She needs to learn English to meet people and make friends.

　　Videos are ruining the cinema, of course. Too many people copy films instead of buying or borrowing them. There are too many pirates. Of course, more people can see their favourite films now. Videos are obviously cheaper than the cinema, but they don’t have the same effect, do they?

　　I watch the video every day while I knit—mostly old films, ice skating and pop videos. I used to watch television all the time—news, talk shows, soap operas—anything that was on. Now I can choose what I watch and when I watch it.

　　A lot of educational videos are made with government money and video is used by a lot of schools now. Videos can be used at any time of the day and they can be stopped and replayed. When I was learning to be a teacher we were filmed and we could see our mistakes. Of course some teachers just put the video on and let it do the work, but it can be extremely valuable in the classroom.
