[Q]: Brenda: Well, what's on? Brenda: Well, hmm. There is a reality show on at 7:00 on channel 5. Paul: Nah, you know I don't like reality shows.

Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of panda bears in the wild? Paul: Personally, I'd rather watch something with a little bit more action and suspense. Brenda: Well, then. Ah, here's something. Do you want to watch a rerun of Star Wars? Paul: Nah, I've seen it a zillion times. I'd like to see something different. Brenda: Okay, let's see here. Oh, how about this? On channel 2 at 9:00, there's a home improvement show about fixing anything around the house. We do have a few things that you could repair in the bathroom ... Paul: Fixing things? Uh, boy, I'm beat. I think I'm going to hit the sack. Brenda: You're going to bed? Paul: Yeah. I have to get up early tomorrow ... Brenda: ... and then you're going to fix the bathroom? Paul: Good night. Brenda: Okay. Too bad, though. There's a basketball game on right now, but ... but I guess you can catch the score in tomorrow's newspaper. Paul: Oh, okay. I'll stay up and keep you company while I ... I mean, you ... I mean, WE watch the game. Brenda: I thought you'd change your mind. I'll get the popcorn., Question: How does the man feel about watching Star Wars on TV?

[Q]: A: Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you have time to answer a few questions? B: What's it about? A: We're doing some market research for a new television channel starting in two years' time. B: OK, why not? A: Lovely, we'll just work through this form. And if we could start with some personal background information. B: Sure. A: Right, if I could just have your age... B: 35. A: Right, great. And your job? B: Systems analyst, but for the form I don't know whether it would count as professional or business or what. A: What do you think? B: OK, it's more like business. A: Fine. And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank. B: No, I don't mind. It's 40,000 a year. A: Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits..., what would you say is your main reason for watching TV? B: Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind. A: Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV? B: Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour. A: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV? B: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late eleven or even midnight- when I've finished work. A: And what sort of programmes do you go for? B: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows. A: Fine. And turning to the new channel..., which type of programmes would you like to see more of? B: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local information..., you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers..., you know, good quality stuff. A: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give them? B: I think I'd advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. People are very fussy these days about that and in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers. A: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable! B: Certainly... yeah. A: Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts? B: Well, out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last tot ten minutes each time! A: Quite. And would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel? B: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area. A: OK, I'll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list? B: Well, I'd prefer not..., except for the information about the promotion you mentioned. A: Can I have your name and address? B: Of course ... here's my card. A: Oh, lovely..., and thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you. B: Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks., Question: The respondent has a salary of ______. (A) £ 15,000 a year (B) £ 15,000 - £ 35,000 a year (C) over £ 35,000 a year
