Lesson 1 World News
Africa on G8 Agenda
Scotland
July 5,
The Group of Eight, or G8, was formed by eight of the world's wealthiest nations in 1998. The G8 is made up of political leaders from France, the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia. They meet every summer to discuss major problems that concern the whole world.
It is going to be remembered as a historical meeting this year, as the topic of Africa will be discussed in detail. Widespread poverty in Africa means that many people there cannot get the water, clothing, housing, electricity or education they need. AIDS is another problem of great concern so sex education and health care administration are extremely important.
Reforms have been demanded by people from all over the world. They want the leaders to cancel the debt of Africa's poorest countries so that the problems there can be prevented from getting any worse. Their belief is that this is the only way for many of these nations to escape their painful pasts.

LONDON WINS
July 6, London
At 12:45 UK time today, the name of the host city for the Olympic Games was being announced by the International Olympics Committee (IOC) in Singapore. It was London. London's name had been announced twice before, in
1908 and 1948, so it now has the distinction of being the first city to host the event three times.
Applications to host the games had also been made by Moscow, Madrid, New York and Paris. In the end, it came down to a choice between Paris and London.
The news is being celebrated by crowds in the streets.Cheering people can also be seen everywhere: in pubs, homes and offices all over London. Prince William, who is now in New Zealand, said he was delighted that the Olympic Games would be held in London and he was looking forward to the Games.

Phil: Hey, Liz. Have a look at this.
Liz: Mm?
Phil: It's a really sweet ad for Mother's Day.
Liz: Don't you see this is an ad for selling flowers?
Phil: Really? Oh, I see. Very smart. But I still like ...
Liz: (interrupts) I can't stand ads like that. Honestly, no child of that age is going to go and buy her mum flowers I'm sure the person who...
Phil: (interrupts politely) Can I say something?
Liz: All right.
Phil: I think you're over-reacting although you have a point.
Many ads try to create a picture of a perfect world or life but...
Liz: (interrupts) Of course they do! They think that we're all stupid and are going to believe that if we buy flowers from their shop then we'll have perfect relationships within our families!
Phil: (interrupts politely) Can I interrupt a moment?
Companies have to sell their products. They do try to make their products attractive but it's up to us whether we'll buy their products or not. If you ...
Liz: (interrupts) Rubbish! That's not true. Just think of all the people who are encouraged to smoke more by ads made by tobacco companies!
Phil: Well, I have to disagree with you there. People can't blame ads for what they buy. It's their decision and ...
Liz (interrupts) You're wrong. Somehow I'm against all ads because they use false promises to get people to buy things.
Phil: (interrupts politely) I'd just like to show you this advertisement,
Liz. It's for environmental protection. Surely you agree that ...
Liz: (interrupts) No way! All ads are trying to get your money somehow!

Lesson 2 The Paparazzi
Tapescript
Presenter: Good evening and welcome to this week's ‘Media Analysis'. Tonight, we're going to analyse the problem of the paparazzi. We have Dr Lindbrow in the studio.
Dr L: Good evening.
Presenter: Dr Lindbrow, you've done some studies on the paparazzi. Could you tell us how the problem arose?
Dr L: Well, a lot of people blame the media for encouragement of the paparazzi. Newspapers and magazines are willing to pay high prices for photographs of famous people taken by self-employed these photographers. Nowadays, selling photographs of famous people has become big business.
Presenter: Is it legal to take photographs of famous people without letting them know?
Dr L: According to the law in Britain, it is legal to take photographs of famous people if they are in public. But sometimes, the paparazzi go too far in their attempt to get the best photographs. They may climb onto roofs or tall trees. They may even rent a boat or a helicopter in order to get pictures of famous people.
Presenter: But I know there are people who defend the paparazzi. Their argument is that taking photographs of famous people is part of the news collecting and reporting process. Don't you think that the paparazzi should have the same rights as all journalists?
Dr L: Yes, I agree. But not all the methods the paparazzi use are legal, and because their photographs can make great profits, the paparazzi are often prepared to risk expensive legal costs. One very famous example is Princess Diana's unfortunate death in 1997. Since then, the law and the public opinion have been less in favour of the paparazzi and their job. In recent years, many famous people have also taken legal action against members of the paparazzi and they ...

Lesson 3 The Advertising Game
The classic advertisement is one that gives information about finding certain products. It is likely to be just the name of a company, part of which may be a general location. For example, it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machine”, or “Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”, and you would know what the companies sell, where they are located, and the brand names.
However, this kind of advertising might not be suitable when there are
products and services in direct competition with each other in the market place. In such situations, advertisements need to attract, and hold the attention of the public. Some advertisements consist of pictures or the words of experts to show people how good the products are. Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at. As present-day advertisers often have large budgets, a lot of money is spent on applying moder
