They present programs of sports and entertainment. We can enjoy listening to different forms of music and songs on the radio and watch the live broadcast of sports events and the reports of adventures in the mountains and unknown lands. Educational programs of different kinds are presented on the radio and television as well. These programs are very informative.

In this way, radio is more imaginative because it forces you to form pictures in your own mind rather than providing you with visual information, which is what television does.In addition, radio is more flexible than television, since you don't have to be in the same room as the radio set in order to listen to the programs, but you do have to be in the same room as a television in order to watch it.A radio is also far more portable than a television. You can listen to the radio while driving in the car, jogging or even just walking around. Although portable televisions do exist, you can't really watch one while you are jogging, for example.One of the main advantages of radio, however, is that it offers the listener more immediate access to information. Most radio stations broadcast news reports at regular half-hour or hourly intervals, but television news is only broadcast a few times each day. Also, the variety of topics you get on the radio is much greater than that on television.Radio is more personal than television. Many radio programs are interactive in a way that television can never be. Listeners can call the radio station they are listening to and express their thoughts and opinions live on air. You can't ring up a television station and express your opinions, can you?Language and Culture Notes1.Background information From its appearance at the beginning of the 20th century, radio had been a major provider of news and entertainment until television came into being. The early models of the modern television appeared in the 1920s but its popularity did not begin until after World War II, especially until after color TV became available in the 1960s. Today TV sets are much more sophisticated. Not only are they attached with remote control, but they can be hooked to VCR, VCD, DVD and even to the Internet. So it is not surprising that more and more people now watch TV to get news, sports, and a great variety of entertainment. Yet television cannot completely replace radio. Many people still like radio because of its compactness in size. Radio also survives as a major part of a tape recorder, a hi-fi and a necessary component of a car. To adapt to the invention of TV, radio has also made great changes in its system, and in the way it presents programs. The stereo system, for example, is successful in winning music lovers to radio programs.2. portable television A television set about 3" in size and can easily be carried or moved3. at regular half-hour or hourly intervals(the program is broadcast on the radio) every half hour or every hour4. Many radio programs are interactive …Program hosts or hostesses can get immediate feedback from their listeners and they can discuss a topic on the air. With TV, however, audience interaction is more difficult. The usual way is to send out a TV crew to bring in live coverage of people's response to some event.5.live on air Listeners' thoughts or opinions can be heard on the radio at the moment they are spoken rather than later on a recording.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What is the passage mainly about?a. The advantages of radio over television.b. The difference between radio and television.c. The changes made to radio programs.d. The reasons for the unpopularity of TV programs.2. Which of the following reflects the speaker's attitude?a. The invention of television is a failure.b. The invention of television has had a great impact on radio.c. Radio definitely has a larger audience than television does.d. Radio will not easily be replaced by television.Exercise 2: Listening for detailsListen to the recording once again and fill in the chart with the missing information.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording. Practise the conversations with your partner, playing the role of A or B. Then work with your partner to create your own conversations by replacing the underlined parts with your own words.Part CAdditional ListeningA Passage The Benson Family’s DecisionA. Listen to the passage and answer the following question.What’s the main idea of the passage?Without watching TV, people may find many interesting things to do.B. Listen to the passage again and choose the best answers.What has each member of the Benson Family found time doing in the past year?1. Mr. Benson a. playing the pianob. playing tennisc. working in the cinemad. writing a novel2. Mrs. Benson a. taking up judob. seeing films and playsc. writing a dramad. joining a film society3. Daughter Emily a. taking up actingb. reading ten novelsc. learning to play the pianod. solving math problems4. Son Mark a. reading novels and other booksb. playing tennisc. joining a societyd. going to tennis classesScriptThe Benson Family’s DecisionHave you ever spent a year without television? A year ago the Benson family decided that they were spending too much time in front of the box. So they got rid of it. And they have been living without a television for almost a year now. How have they been spending their free time then?“We found it very hard for the first few weeks,” says Mrs. Benson. “We didn’t k now what to do with our free time. But since then it’s been fine. We’ve done so many things that we hadn’t done for such a long time. Last year, for example, we didn’t go out to the cinema or the theatre once, but this year we’ve seen at least a dozen films and plays. And I’ve even joined the local drama society.Mr. Benson has taken up tennis. Daughter Emily has been learning to play the piano and son Mark has been going to judo (柔道) classes. And they’ve all read more books. Mark said, “This year I’ve read about ten novels and five or six other books, too.”So haven’t they missed the box at all? Emily says she has had a few problems: “I don’t like it when I go to school and all the kids are talking about a program that they’ve seen. Actually, I’ve just bee n watching a program at my friend’s house.”Nevertheless, according to Mr. Benson, “We’ve all started doing so many interesting thingsthat we wouldn’t have time to watch TV now.”Part DTest Your ListeningA Compound DictationListen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.There are different 1) types of media today. News and 2) entertainmentare communicated to us in a number of different ways, using different media. It may be 3) print media such as newspapers and magazines, or 4) electronic media such as radio and television. The word media is most often used to refer to the communication of news, and in this 5) context means the same as news media.Programs on radio and television may be referred to formally as 6) broadcasts or informally as shows, especially in American English. The person who 7) presents a program or a show on radio or TV is a host or hostess but the one who hosts a popular music program is called a disk jockey or DJ. 8) News programs may be hosted by an anchor, either a man or a woman, who is sometimes more famous than the people in the news. In more traditional news programs, the news is read by a newsreader.There are many broadcasting organizations in a country and competition among them is serious. 9) Most TV and radio networks want to increase the size of their audience, or their ratings. Good ratings are especially important during prime-time, the time of day when most people watch TV. This is not surprising as high audience figures attract more advertising or commercials to be shown in commercial breaks between programs. And 10) the broadcasting organization that can attract most advertising makes most money.。

8. Variety
Try to allow our voice to rise and fall naturally, speaking slightly louder or softer, lightly or more firmly as the content of our speech requires. The varied voice contributes to the richness, the colorfulness of the message while the unvaried voice makes the speech monotonous.

9. Articulation Articulation is the ability to speak fluently, that is, stringing the words together in the correct order for the meaning to be apparent. In normal conversation this is less important because listeners can ask for clarification. However, when giving a formal speech or presentation, it is necessary to articulate clearly. 10. Accents English is the most widely used language in the world. Its pronunciation varies a great deal in different geographical areas. However, although some vocabulary and pronunciation may vary, educated English speakers do understand each other. Listen with your eyes closed and try to catch the rhythm of the language.
How to Make the Best Use of Our Voice
When we begin speaking in public , we would always ask , “Should I be strong and aggressive or humble?” “When should I pause?”…There are no hard—and—fast answers to these questions. Speech delivery is a matter of nonverbal communication. It is not based on words, but how we use our voice and body to convey our message expressed by our words. The following points are selected to get beginners started in the right direction.
2015-4-1
− Pronunciation Tips
− 有效的表达在一定程度上取决于说话者如何运用他／她的声音。 声音传递的要素之一便是讲话的语速。大部分母语为英语的演讲者语 速保持在每分钟１２５－１６０个词之间。实际上，演讲者在不同的 部分会变换语速。演讲的语速主要取决于：演讲者的音质、所要营造 的情绪、听众的构成以及演讲的场合。建议问问自己： − 我的声音好听吗？英语讲得好首先要求吐字发音清晰。基础阶段 的发音训练强调各因素的发音位置和发音方法。只有掌握正确的发 音，交流才可能流畅和流利。 − 我的语速太快吗？语速太快往往是缺乏自信和紧张的表现。流利 的标准是吐字清晰，停顿的当，语调优美。不妨平时养成读书计时 的好习惯，养成在文章的段落之间、句子的意群之间，甚至在重要 信息前适当停顿的好习惯。 − 我发言时声音太响或太弱吗？声音太响太弱都是缺乏锻炼的表现。 每天坚持一定时间的朗读有利于声带的打开。经常录制自己的朗读 可以了解自己说话声音的音量大小，同时还要注意其他同学发言时 的课堂表现，以此来改进自己的不足之处。 − 讲英音还是美音？根建据教学议条件、工作生活需要或个人的偏 好来选择英式英语或美式英语。

3. Voice volume How loud our voice volume should be depends on the setting and audience. Our voice should be sufficiently audible for the audience to follow. Soon after beginning our speech, glance at the people farthest away from us. If they look puzzled or are leaning forward in their seats, we need to talk louder. 4. Speaking rate Rate refers to the speed at which a person speaks. The rate should be compatible with the type of speech, audience and setting. Remember to give time and space for listeners to follow the track of our ideas.
− Lead-in
− Listen to paragraphs 15-21 of Martin Luther King's speech I Have a Dream. In these paragraphs,King dramatizes his dream of all Americans living in freedom and brotherhood.This is the most famous section of the speech.The extensive use of repetition and parallelism reinforces his message and enhances the impact.King controls the rate and rhythm of the message by pauses to lend dramatic impact to a statement.

7. Pronunciation It is said that the moment you open your mouth, you are placed. When listening to a speech, people tend to be more sensitive to pronunciation. They often judge speakers by their pronunciation. Pronunciation, to some extent, can influence or even determine the success of a speech.
2015-4-1
5. Pause
Learning how and when to pause is a major challenge for most beginning speakers. We pause for emphases or to allow audience to react—laugh, groan, consider, even applaud. A pause can add emphasis, especially if the words are delivered with a different pitch. 6. Clarity
Clarity is the ability to say words clearly and completely. Effective speaking demands distinctive articulation and correct pronunciation. Ask friends for advice when you rehearse to find out which words you cannot utter clearly and make a special effort to practice.

1. Improving the voice Many effective speakers benefit from their golden voices. Although voice is inborn, it can be improved. Knowing about the mechanism of voice and practicing correctly, we can attain the full potential of our voice. 2. Breathing A good voice is always supported by controlled breath. We tend to get tired when speaking for a long time , our voice can easily become hoarse. Taking a sufficient breath and making use of the breath are two essentials..
