People nowadays spend half of their time with television than doing social activities. This is because of
the increase of technology and the television`s influence. I totally agree that People communicate with
each other less than in the past because of the popularity of television.
Firstly, in the past, the world was not developed. People used to communicate more with those around
them. The means of communication were just the letter, or the radio, where you could listen and know
more about what was happening in your city or country. As an example, my grandmother told me that
when she wanted to talk with a friend or a familiar, she used to write a letter and travel a lot to send it
for a long time. Then she used to go out every day with their friends, interact between them and they
used to discuss about what they heard in the radio. That is why in the past there were more interactions
between family, friends, etc.
On the other hand, the technology increased, there are more means of communication, like the
cellphone or the television. Thanks to that, people have more ways to communicate with everybody.
For example, it is not necessary to travel to send a letter, you just send an e-mail or a message even if
the person is so far. Moreover, you can see and hear the news not only of your country, now you can
see what is happening around the world, and that is fantastic. However, it causes that people stopped
having social activities, and more communication with those around them.
I think that the television is a good mean of communication that helped us a lot. However, it causes that
people stopped interacting more with those around them and that is because people prefer spend their
time watching the television and not go out and discuss with their friends or families about what they
see or heard.

You will read a passage about an academic topic. Then you will listen to a lecture about the same topic.
You are permitted to take notes while you read and listen. You will be asked a question that relates to
both the text and the listening. Your response should be 150-225 words. Your score will depend on the
quality of your writing as well as how well you answer the question. After you have heard the lecture
you will have twenty minutes to plan and write your response.

Read the passage. On a piece of paper, take notes on the main points of the reading passage.

Reading time: 3 minutes

In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international

organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological
standards by conserving resources and recycling materials. Companies that receive this
certification can attract customers by advertising their products as "ecocertified." Around the
world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to
receive ecocertification. However, it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will
do the same, for several reasons.
First, American consumers are exposed to so much advertising that they would not value or
even pay attention to the ecocertification label. Because so many mediocre products are
labeled "new" or "improved," American consumers do not place much trust in advertising
claims in general.
Second, ecocertified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to
earn ecocertification, a wood company must pay to have its business examined by a
certification agency. This additional cost gets passed on to consumers. American consumers
tend to be strongly motivated by price, and therefore they are likely to choose cheaper
uncertified wood products. Accordingly, American wood companies will prefer to keep their
prices low rather than obtain ecocertification.
Third, although some people claim that it always makes good business sense for American
companies to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world, this argument is not
convincing. Pursuing certification would make sense for American wood companies only if
they marketed most of their products abroad. But that is not the case—American wood
businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer
base that is satisfied with the merchandise.

Listen to the passage. On a piece of paper, take notes on the main points of the listening passage.

Now answer the following question:

How does the speaker on the lecture cast doubt on the points made in the reading passage?
Preparation time: 1 minute
Response time: 20 minutes

The reading is about an international organization that began to give certifications to wood
companies that meet high ecological standards, conserving resources and recycling
materials. Also gives reasons why wood companies in the United States will not do the
same and the lecture contradicts the reading by giving some reasons about why American
wood companies would eventually get " ecocertified for their products."

In the reading is about an international organization started issuing certifications to wood

companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recycling
materials. And companies with that certification can at attract customers by advertising their
products as "ecocertified." However, there are some reasons why American wood
companies are not thought to do the same. A first reason is that American companies would
not pay much attention to the certificate. A second reasaon is that there is an additional cost
for the certificate, so companies prefer to have low prices and not raise them. And American
wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large
customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.

In the lecture, the speaker contradicts the reading giving some reasons why American wood
companies can decide to have that certificate. The first reason is that consumers in United States
do not treat all the advertisements the same. The second reason is that American consumers
worry a lot about price. And Americans are increasingly convinced of the value of persevering
and protecting the environment. The third reason is that customers would be interested in
``ecocertified`` products. Finally pursuing certification would make sense for American wood
companies only if they marketed most of their products abroad.
