DICTATION
Different Media
With the
introduction of radio, /newspaper publishers
wondered how broadcasting would affect them. /Many
feared that radio as a quick and easy
means of keeping people informed would displace
the newspaper industry
altogether.
/Others hoped that the brief newscast heard on the
air would stimulate listeners in the story so
they'd
buy the paper to get more
information. /This second idea turned out to be
closer to the truth. /Radio and print were
not substitutes for each other but
actually supported each other. /You see the
relationship between different media
is
not always one of displacement but can be one of
reinforcement. /However this is not always the
ease. /Take
television and motion
pictures for example, /with the popularization of
TV
, /the motion picture industry
suffered
greatly.
/Movie
attendance
dropped
when
audience
members
chose
to
stay
at
home
and
be
entertained.
/Likewise, when a football game was
shown on the air, /the stands were often empty
because fans chose to watch
the game at
home. /

Conversation 1
M: Hello. I need to talk with someone
about my driver's license.
W: Yes. How
may I help you? Do you have a driver's license, or
do you need to get one?
M: Well, I'm
not sure. You see, I have an international
driver's license.
W: Uh-huh. And how
long will you be staying in the United States?
M: Probably four years, until I finish
my degree.
W: Oh. Then you will need to
get in Arizona driver's license.
M: Do
I have to take a driver's test to do that?
W: Yes, you do. You need to come in and
take a written exam and an eye exam, and then you
need to take a road
test with a
parallel parking test. Did you say that you are a
student?
M: Yes, I'm a student at the
university. I don't have an ID with me, but I can
go and get it.
W: Okay. Then you can
apply for a limited license. Just come back and
show your student ID, and you can apply
for a five-year license. The limited
license only costs you ten dollars. A regular
license would cost you a lot more
than
that, but it is valid for more than five years.
M: Why can't I just use my
international driver's license?
W: You
could if you were just visiting a lot less than a
year. But as a student, you will be temporarily
residing in
our state.
M:
Okay. So that's why my friend can use his
international license; he is a tourist.
W: Right.
