transcript from the listening

1)

A: Well, space exploration is pretty expensive, but I think it’s worth it.

B: Why is that?

A: Well, that’s how we learn more about the universe we live in. That’s pretty important, isn’t it?

2)

A: I can’t stand commercials on TV these days. They really annoy me.

B: Oh yeah? Why’s that?

A: Because they always interrupt favorite TV programs, and some of those commercials are really long!

3)

A:  I think the Olympic Games are great. I can’t wait for the next ones.

B:  Really? Why?

A:  Well, they encourage an interest in sports and help bring about better international understanding. We need more of that.

4)

A:  Every city needs tourism, I think.

B:  Why do you think that?

A:  Well, because tourism can bring jobs and money to the city. It’s a much better way of raising money than taxes.

5)

A: Well, action movies might be fun, but I don’t think they are really good for young people.

B: Really? Why do you say that?

A: Because they are way too violent. I never let kids watch them.

6)

A: If you ask me, people in this city shouldn’t be allowed to have those big cars.

B: How come?

A: Because most streets are too small for big cars, and they don’t have space for parking.
