Conversation1:

M: Good morning and welcome to “people in the news”. With me today is

Megan Brown, an environmental activist whose controversial new

book Beyond Recycling is making headlines.

W: Hi Brian, thanks for having me today. I'm excited to explain to the audience

what my book is really about.

M: Critics of your book assert that you're trying to force radical changes on the

entire country. Some claim that you want to force everyone to eat a

vegetarian diet and make private transport illegal.

W: I'm aware of those claims but they simply aren't true. People who haven't

read the book are making assumptions about my arguments. They know I'm a

vegetarian, that I don't wear leather or fur and that I always use public

transportation, so they're depicting me as a radical animal rights activist and

environmentalist, determined to force my beliefs on others.

M: But don't you want others to adopt your practices? You campaign for

animal rights and the environment for decades.

W: I'd love it if people chose to live as I do, but my life choices are based on

my personal convictions, they aren't my recommendations for others who

don't share those convictions.

M: Well, in this accept from your book, you argue that meat consumption and

private transport are devastating the environment and that the best choices

for the planet are vegetarian diets and public transport.

W: I did write that, but those are examples of what I call best practices not

what I'm actually suggesting. In my guidelines for saving the environment, I

suggest modest changes, like eating vegetarian meals two days a week.

M: You also endorse high taxes on meat and other animal products and

increase taxes on gasoline. Those taxes could force poor people to adopt

your life choices.

W: But the taxes I suggest aren't that high, less than 3% only plus the money

generated would be allocated to environmental protection which benefits

everyone.

Questions1to4arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

Question 1: What do we learn about the woman's new book?

Question 2: What do some critics say about the author of the book?

Question 3: What does the woman claim about the diet changes she

suggested?

Question 4: What does the woman say about her suggested tax increase?

Conversation2:

M: With me in the studio today is Miss Jane Logan, author of the new book

Secrets to Success. She claims to have uncovered how people achieve

success. So Miss Logan, in your book you claim that successful people have

many things in common. For instance, they know their strengths when

pursuing a goal.

W: That's right. They also tend to be motivated by a negative or positive life

event. They credit their success to having someone in their life who believes

in them.

M: You also write that there are a number of different factors related to

success. And while successful people are driven to achieve their goals, the

ultra successful have even greater ambition.

W: Yes, greater ambition as well as a burning desire to be the best of the best

is also a common characteristic.

M: Right, so those who are determined don't see obstacles something that

prevents success, but mere inconveniences that need to be overcome.

W: Absolutely. Successful people are also optimistic as it is important to stay

positive while being aware of obstacles that can deter us from achieving our

goals.

M: That’s a good point. All too often people give up at the first hurdle. Would

you say then that most successful people make it all by themselves?

W: Not exactly. They are usually good at cooperating with people and

understanding the needs of others.
