SECTION 2 Questions 11-20
Complete the table below:
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer
For the recommendation column, write
[A] You must buy this.
[B] Maybe you should buy this.
[C] You should never buy this.
PRESENTER: Good evening. Tonight’s show comes to you from the Good Home
Exhibition in Duke’s Court, where we’ve been trying out some of the
latest gadgets on show here and getting our resident expert - Liz Shearer
- to tell us which ones are worth buying and which will die a death.
LIZ SHEARER: Well, hello. Yes, John, I’ve been investigating four new household gadgets
and sorting out the advantages and disadvantages and then really deciding
what are ’Must buys’, what are ’Maybe buys’ and what are ’Never buys’.
Let’s start with this vacuum flask for keeping drinks hot. Well... I felt
this had quite a lot going for it, most of all is the fact that it containsno
glass and is therefore unbreakable to all intents and purposes. It’s made 【Q11】
of stainless steel which is guaranteed for 20 years.., hope that’s long
enough.., and it’s true what the manufacturer claims - that it does
maintain heat for 18 hours. So that’s pretty good. On the down side, it 【Q12】
really works out to be quite expensive and, much more surprisingly, it
unfortunately leaves a strange taste.., you know when you’ve drunk 【Q13】
from it... so all in all, my recommendation would be it’s got plenty of
advantages, but it is rather expensive so I’d say you should maybe buy it.
Moving on to a natty little device.., the Whistle Key Holder. Basically
this is where you whistle and the key holder gives off a high pitched noise
and flashes light so you can find it. One advantage of this model is that it
also has a small light. You press the button and this means you can find
keyholes easily. I also felt the small size was a real advantage. On the 【Q14】
weaker side, I did find the noise unpleasant. Which I’m sure the designers
could have done something about. And I found that it didn’t work 【Q15】
through metal, so it’s mainly useful for finding in coat pockets, cushions,
etc. But taken as a whole I thought it was a masterpiece of design and 【Q16】
would highly recommend it.
The third gizmo is called the Army Flashlight because it was developed
initially for military use. It works by squeezing the handle to generate the
power. Its advantages are that it can be used for outside activities, and 【Q17】
also.., and this is one of the surprising features.., it does work
underwater. My main objection to it though was although it did work in 【Q18】
these conditions, this model gave off a weak light. So my recommendation 【Q19】
I’m afraid would have to be to avoid this one.
The decoy camera was last on my list. This is a fake video camera which
you fix to your wall to scare off burglars. The advantage of this model is
something which makes it look very realistic.., its flashing light. On the 【Q20】
down side, it was quite difficult to fix to the wall. However, burglary is
such a major problem these days that it is worth the effort, so this gets my
strong recommendation.
PRESENTER: OK. Thanks for that, Liz.
