答案E Now,I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen. I’d like you to discuss about TV commercials. A Nowadays, TV commercials play an informative role in daily life. They provide people with a lot of information concerning people’s daily lives, such as different products, houses to rent and job opportunities. It helps people to make choices at home before they go to buy what they need. It also tells people where they can get the things they need. B Yes, I agree with you. Besides, TV commercials play an important role in the development of the economy. A Yes, TV commercials have so many advantages to our economic life. They are indispensable to the economic development. However, TV commercials are not always truthful. Sometimes they exaggerate the products. They also try to persuade people to buy things which they don’t really want or need. B But I think a clever consumer can gain benefits from it as well. Because competition for consumers’ attention and contribution of money is the goal of TV commercials, a company must strive for the best, and show a better product than its competitors’. Thus, consumers are given a chance to compare their products and get the best one. A I think the supervision of TV commercials by government is also very important. Otherwise, too many fake products are advertised. And they are harmful to people’s health. B I think the government should supervise the amount and the frequency of the TV commercials. Sometimes there are too many TV commercials, and the TV stations just advertise them again and again. They interrupt a lot when we watch some TV programs. So I think they should be controlled both in kinds and in frequency. A Yes, especially when we are watching TV serials. In general, I think TV commercials is informative; it’s beneficial to all kinds of people and the government. But as a coin has two sides, they should be supervised well by the government. However, with the deep influence on people’s daily life caused by TV, TV commercials will play a larger and larger role on people’s daily life. B Why did you say that TV has deep influence on people’s daily life? A Just imagine that it is Saturday evening. What will you probably do tonight? I think lots of people will choose to watch TV. First of all, TV widens our sights. There are numerous TV programs concerning worldwide affairs. Secondly, TV is very entertaining. After a day of hard study or work, maybe you don’t have the energy to take a long camping trip, especially when you still have lots of things to do tomorrow morning. Why not turn on the TV and choose an interesting show? While having some coffee, chatting with your family, you really feel relaxed. A Do you find TV commercials irritating or interesting? B I just think some TV commercials are very interesting. Some companies always make their advertisement very humorous to attract the attention of consumers, such as Coca-cola. But sometimes TV commercials can be very irritating. Some TV commercials are very boring. The TV stations tend to broadcast the TV commercials again and again especially when I am watching some TV serials. I have to be interrupted by them again and again. So it depends whether they are irritating or interesting. B Do you think it’s necessary to set a time limit on TV commercials? A Yes, I think it’s very necessary. There are so many TV commercials on television, accounting for a large part of TV programs. Although TV commercials are very informative and indispensable to our economic society, they will be a time-waster if they are broadcasted by the TV station again and again. Sometimes people want to relax by watching some interesting TV programs, and they don’t want to watch many TV commercials. But they often have to be interrupted by the advertisements when they are watching those interesting TV programs. There are really so many TV commercials, and no matter how you change the channel, there will be some advertisements broadcasted, it’s so irritating. So I think it’s very necessary to set a time limit on TV commercials. A Do you agree with those who say that TV commercials help to keep TV stations running and business booming? B Yes, I couldn’t agree more. As a TV station, it should make many excellent and interesting programs to attract the attention of audience. But as everybody knows, making wonderful programs needs a great deal of money. So TV stations should earn money by many kinds of ways, and TV commercials can be the main source of income. Besides, TV commercials can popularize the companies and factories’ products. It’s helpful to their sales, so it’s very important to the business booming. A Do you sometimes find TV commercials informative? Please give examples. B Yes. They help me find out what new products are available in the marketplace, how good and useful they are in making life easier and more comfortable, and where to buy them. It provides me much convenience. For example, several weeks ago I was considering which present I should buy for one of my good friends, because his birthday was coming up. I wanted to give him a good and lovely present. By chance I watched a TV commercial on reading lamps. This kind of lamp is very good because it can protect the reader’s eyes. So I bought one for him, and he liked it very much. Meanwhile, in this TV commercial, I knew how to protect my eyes. B Do you think it’s possible to remove all commercials from TV? A No, I don’t think it’s possible to remove all commercials from TV. Firstly, TV commercials are the main source of the TV stations’ income. Without them, the TV stations can’t run smoothly or may even close down. Secondly, TV commercials are helpful to the business boom, and the sales development of the industries. So it’s impossible to remove all commercials from TV. Certainly some commercials must be removed, because they are for fake or useless commodities. A Do you often change the channel when a commercial comes on? Why? B Yes, I often change the channel when a commercial comes on. The TV stations always repeat the same commercials again and again. When a commercial comes on, I probably have watched the commercial. It’s meaningless to watch them again, because I can’t get more information from it. And it’s quite boring and irritating to watch the same advertisement again and again, so I often change the channel when a commercial comes on. Do you think it’s necessary to have one or two TV stations which do not broadcast any commercials? A I don’t think it’s necessary to have one or two TV stations which do not broadcast any commercials, though such a TV station can attract many audiences. Firstly, I think most of our audiences don’t mind the commercials. On the contrary, we need to get valuable information through the commercials. We just dislike the commercials broadcasted again and again by the TV stations. It’s really so boring and irritating. Secondly, I think it’s impossible to have one or two TV stations which do not broadcast any commercials. As you know, commercials are the chief source of the TV stations’ income. Without any commercials, the TV station may close down. A Some TV commercials are always exaggerating and therefore tend to be misleading. What do you think about these commercials? B I think under the supervision of our government, this kind of commercial should be forbidden. This kind of commercial just makes the customers buy something useless or fake. Besides, I think the consumer should learn how to find the goods both of low prices and good qualities. A clever consumer can gain benefits from all kinds of commercials, no matter how exaggerating and misleading they are. Because competition for consumers’ attention and contribution of money is the goal of TV commercials, a company must strive for the best, and show a better product than its competitors’. Thus, consumers are given a chance to compare their products and get the best one.
