2012年公共英語三級考試口語-必考話題（15）

　　63. Why do you go to the Internet for your news stories?
　　Well， to get the latest updates. Also， in the Internet there is a variety of news so perhaps I may come across something I can never encounter in the newspaper.
　　64. Why do you think that newspapers are more reliable than， say， TV news?
　　Because before a newspaper is printed， the editor will check through the articles and the sources often more reliable. In TV news， the news broadcaster may say something he or she thinks is right. So I feel newspaper are more reliable.
　　65. Why do you think advertising influences what people buy very strongly?
　　Advertising is a very powerful tool in the media. Because many people do not have the real knowledge of the product， most of the time they rely on media for information， which they think is trustworthy.
　　66. Can you give me an example of advertising that you don‘t like?
　　Yes， I don’t like advertising targeting at children. I think children are too young to make a rational decision. Children are most easily influenced by what they see on the advertisement. I think this is not healthy for children and even a headache for parents if the kids always pester their parents to buy things for them.
