Exercise 1. Read and translate the dialogue.

Four University students discuss advantages and disadvantages of television. Michael and Ann are Russian students, John is an American student and Ruth is an English student.

John: I think television is one of the worst inventions the man ever made. It occupies all our spare time. We rush home to be in time for this or that programme.

Ann: I can’t agree with you, John. Television made it possible for people who live far away from cultural centers to watch theatrical productions, concerts, music and drama competitions, international and national sports events and what not.

Ruth: I do agree with Ann in this. That’s an advantage the television has. Unfortunately children are the ones who suffer most.

John: Yes. Some American children spend more time in front of TV-sets than in front of the teacher. Too much television is bad for children.

Michael: Children should be taught what programmes to watch. Most of our educational programmes are really good and informative. I used to enjoy them when a child.

Ruth: We also have some very good educational programmes - especially the one called “Play School”. It teaches the alphabet and arithmetic so that it all seems like a game. That’s the way to teach young children. What I hate is violence which looks even more violent on color television.

John: Yes, that’s really awful. There’s always a film of violence on one of the channels. I think we begin feeling indifferent when people are killed.

Michael: I doubt that. Can’t your teachers do something about it?

John: They do protest. But television companies take no notice of them. These films sell well.
