2、ted is in the form of charts and graphs.They are used because they are easy to read and make things much clearer.There are many different types of graphs and charts that use bars,lines,or circlesto show information.Some of the mostpopular types of charts are as follows:bar charts:used to show how so

7、twiderdrivewatch TVread newspapersWe are here today to discuss the ways that people get their news.There are several main sources to which most people turn when they want to know what is happening in their local community,or around the world.They are newspapers,television(both local and national),ra
8、dio and more recently,Tapescriptthe Internet.The main point I would like to make is that there are different types of news,and that some are more easily found from certain sources.As examples,I will discuss sports results,the weather,politics and local,national and international current affairs.Spor
9、ts results do not change once the event is over.Fans do not often need or want to see pictures of the games;they simply want to know the scores.For this type of news,radio and newspapers are the most suitable.The weather,however,is something which changes all the time.Therefore,a place to get news w
10、hich can updated easily,like radio or the Internet,is the best choice.Politics involves many details,and people often want to understand them at their own speed.For this reason,places to get news that involve reading may be the best-newspapers and the Internet.Current affairs can be covered in many
11、ways,and what people choose often has to do with what type of news they want.For example,those who only want to know the top or most important stories will probably choose to watch television news programmes as they only include the most important news.Some people prefer a wider range of views,and w
12、ould choose to read more.These people will probably prefer the Internet or a newspaper.Other people who drive or travel long distances to work often dont have the time in the morning or evening to watch television or read a paper.They like to listen to radio news programmes while they travel to and

14、edtrustTapescriptAs the final speaker here today,I would like to share with you some of the conclusions of our research.We wanted to know if the Internet would become the most popular source of news for people.We have found that although the Internet has become increasingly popular,the number of peo
15、ple who get news from the Internet compared to the radio or television is still small.While the Internet is a popular tool,it is still not as easily accessible as newspapers,television and the radio are,and due to the amount of uncontrolled information on the Internet,people do not always trust the

18、g more detailed questions When you learn a little bit about a new topic,you often find yourself wanting to know more.Asking questions is a good way to help you get more information.Skills building 2:1.Start with information that you know and build on it.If you know or have just learned that 60%of pe
19、ople prefer football to table tennis,you can then ask:Does a persons age affect their answer?Do men and women answer differently?Is football becoming more popular,or is table tennis becoming less popular?2.Ask positive and negative questions.Do not just ask about what people like,prefer or choose to
20、 do.Also ask what they do not like or do not prefer,e.g.:Other than table tennis,what sport do people not like to play?What sport do people prefer table tennis to?(Asking about both sides of an issue will give you a clearer idea of the situation.)3.Find out why.Once you have the facts,you can try to
21、 find out why they are true.This kind of information will be helpful if you need to support or explain the fact you have learned,e.g.:Why is football more popular?Step 2:asking more detailed informationYou still have a few questions,so you ask the speaker for his opinions.Find a partner to be the sp

26、rs still most popular for many yearsreporting on facts and figures When you write a report for a boss or a teacher,there are two main things to remember.The first is to rely on facts and figures more than opinions.The second is to support the facts you have.Skills building 3:1.Facts and opinions Be
27、sure that when you give a fact,you state where you found it,or who said it,e.g.,The speaker said or According to the graphs we were shown If you give your own opinion,you must state that it is your opinion and not a fact.When you report on an opinion given by someone else,be sure to name the person,
28、e.g.,Mr Wang,the speaker,thinks that2.Supporting facts When someone reads a report,they often are not able to ask the person who wrote it for more information.Therefore,you must include as much relevant and factual information as you have,so they will have all the facts.If you write that 60 percent
29、of people prefer to play football,write down how you know that,and why you trust the fact as well.Include information such as It was a survey of 100 people and They said they prefer it because they get a better workout.Step 3:e-mailing a report Your boss asked you to write a report about the lectures you attended.Look at the notes you took in Step 1,and the answers to your questions in Step 2.Use the information you gathered to write an e-mail to your boss telling him what you have learned.Finish the workbook exercises on P122-124 in the workbook.HOMEWORK:
