Стр.111 Unit 10 ГДЗ Вербицкая Forward 11 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Камине Д.Карр, Парсонс 11 класс, Просвещение: Introduction
The purpose of this report is to present the findings of a survey into media habits. The information was collected from a group of twenty-five students aged 18-20 at Portsmouth College of Further Education.
Television
As expected, television is by far the most popular medium. Most of 1) the people we interviewed said they prefer to get the news from the television, and about 2) two thirds of them estimated that they watch at least four hours of TV on a typical day. As far as favourite programmes are concerned, a large number of people mentioned films and chat shows, while 3) quite/only a few favoured documentaries. In contrast, 4) very few respondents put soap operas in their top three.
Newspapers
5) It is in this area, the print media, that the group vary the most in 6) its/their answers. A quarter of the people we asked admitted never reading a newspaper, and about thirty percent said they only look at the 7) front page headlines and photographs. Of the rest, about half read the sports pages, and several regularly read the horoscopes and the gossip 8) columns. It was not really surprising to find that hardly 9) any of our interviewees read the 10) whole newspaper from cover to cover.
Radio
Although radio is a less popular medium than television, there were some unexpected answers in this section. 11) What was most surprising was the number of people who still listen to music on the radio: about sixty percent usually have the radio on in the car or in the background while studying. On the other hand, only a small minority felt that the radio news 12) was worth listening to.
Conclusion
13) In conclusion, it appears that television plays a large part in 14) most people’s lives. However, our survey also showed that not 15) all their media habits are predictable.
