1. PRE-READING
#Is it possible that there is like on other planets?
Since we don't have any indication that there is life on
other planets so far and because the conditions on the
planets in our solar system are not favourable for forms
of life as we know it, I think that it is improbable that
there is life on other planets.

# What's your opinion about the SELI@home project?
It seems rather unrealistic to me. The study of
astronomy is one thing and trying to get the general
public to participate in a search for extraterrestrial life is
another. I cant really take it seriously.

1. PRE-LISTENING
# How would you define 'body language'?
Body language is how your position and movements
show people how you feel or what you think.
# In your opinion, can body language indicate a person's
real feelings? Can you think of any examples?
Yes, body language sometimes indicates a person's
real feelings when that person's words are actually
saying something different. For example, when people
are lying, even though their words may be saying one
thing, the fact that that person can't look you in the
eyes when he/she is speaking to you indicates that he/
she is not truthful.

1. WARM-UP
إجابات مُقترحة
# Do you speak on the phone a lot? Who to? What do you usually talk about?
I don't really speak on the phone a lot. I speak on the phone to my friends or members of my family in order to make arrangements about where to go, where to meet and things
like that.
# Do you like seeing advertisements on billboards in the street, on TV, in magazinesm etc.? Why? / Why not?
Well, I think that advertisements on billboards in the street are dangerous; it's a fact that they attract the attention of drivers and cause accidents. I don't mind advertisements on TV or in magazines because they are a good way of finding out about new products.
2. FOCUS ON PICTURES
A.
SA: Both landline phones and mobile phones have
advantages. For example, a landline phone doesn't
have a battery that needs to be recharged like a mobile
phone. Also, you don't have to worry about having good
reception. It is more reliable and less likely to be cut
off. Some people believe that it is outdated, yet it is a
convenient and economical means of communicating
with others. In the other hand, a mobile phone bypasses
the local telephone infrastructure, and may still work
when landlines are not working. In my opinion, it is an
advanced means of communication. The main advantage
is that it is portable, which is very useful in emergencies,
e.g. accidents. Other things you can do with a mobile
phone are sending tet messages, taking photos and
accessing the Internet. Nevertheless, there are reports
that link heavy use of mobile phones with certain types
of cancer, thus posing a health hazard.
SB: At home, I prefer the landline because it is so much cheaper!
On top of this, it doesn't give you terrible headaches like a
mobile phone does. In the other hand, if I am out, it's really
handy to use my mobile to talk to my friends!
B.
SB: The first picture features a typical means of advertising,
that of billboard (hoarding) advertising. In the second
picture, you can see an example of advertising through the
circulation of flyers, which can either be distributed on
the street or left on the windscreens of cars. Both types of
advertising are untargeted, in the sense that anyone can
become the recipient of the advertisement. As far as I am
concerned, I believe that billboard advertising is costly
yet much more effective than handing out flyers since the
target audience is wider, from drivers to cyclists or just
pedestrians. In the other hand, flyers are a fairly good way
to promote something specific such as an art exhibition,
yet I believe that it lacks the universality of billboard
advertising and its message hardly ever reaches the audience
- in most cases it ends up being thrown away as litter or
stepped on.
SA: In my opinion, billboard advertising greatly contributes to
what we nowadays call aesthetic pollution, since it distorts
the image of cities and streets. It obstructs the horizon and
distracts drivers. In fact, it has also been known to cause
car accidents. Flyers can be annoying too because they are
ubiquitous, they are distributed literally everywhere and
I question their effectiveness, but at least they don't cause
accidents.
3. FURTHER DISCUSSION
إجابات مُقترحة
# If you had the choice of only one of the two, landline or mobile
phone, which would you choose and why?
I think that I would definitely choose a mobile phone because
it depends on wireless network technologies, which are
extensive in most of the civilised world, and most of all it is
portable and I can use it at home and elsewhere.
# What additional features of mobile phones do you find most useful/attractive?
I think I mostly like texting and sending MMS. I also think
it's great to have a camera installed on my mobile phone, and
I think an Internet connection is quite useful because you can
check your emails while waiting for the bus!
# Does advertising influence your choice of items when you shop? How?
I think that the power of advertising is immense, mostly because
it functions at two levels, a conscious one and a subconscious
one. Even if images and products fail to make an impression
at the first level, they manage to enter the subconscious and
influence our choices in ways that we can't control.
# Is advertising necessary in order for a product to become popular?
Product advertisement and placement is necessary in order for
a product to become popular. This can occur in various ways
different from traditional forms of advertisements. One of the
most effective and popular nowadays is using celebrities; e.g. if
David Beckham wears a certain brand of shoes, these instantly
become popular.
# In your opinion, which form of advertising is the most powerful? Why?
I think that the most powerful form of advertising is TV
commercials because they combine image, sound and moving picture.

# Do you use the Internet on a daily basis?
Yes, I do. I use it to check my email, to read online
editions of newspapers and to find information when I
need it.
# In your opinion, what are the advantages of using the
Internet? Are there any disadvantages?
The advantages of the Internet are many. You can
communicate with people easily by email, instant
messaging services, Skype, etc. In addition, you can
quickly find information on almost any subject you
want. You can shop and make travel arrangements etc.
over the Internet too. A few of the disadvantages are
that it is easy for people to hide their identity on the
Internet, it is not always safe as hackers can access your
personal information and use your identity, credit card,
etc. and finally, the information you find is not always
reliable.
2. FOCUS ON CONTENT AND ORGANISATION

advantages: helpful in an emergency, can keep in touch
with others regardless of location
3. For example, when you are in class or in a library, it can
be very distracting if someone's mobile phone starts
ringing. That is more, some people talk very loudly
which can be quite annoying.
In the other hand, in case of an emergency, you can
call for help immediately. Also, you can call anyone
any time and do not have to wait until you or they get
home.
4. The advantages of having a mobile phone definitely
outweigh the disadvantages.
5. Mobile phones are very convenient; however it is
important to consider those around you when using them.
