Audioscript
Presenter: Hello and welcome to Technology Today. In tonight’s programme we are going
to talk to three young people to find out what are the ‘must have’ gadgets and
technological items for the young people of today. Our guests tonight are Jack,
Lily and Rob. Hi.
Jack, Lily and Rob: Hello.
Presenter: So, Jack. Let’s start with you. First of all, how old are you?
Jack: I’m 16.
Presenter: What is the most important technological item in your opinion, Jack?
Jack: It’s definitely my tablet.
Presenter: Really? Why?
Jack: Because I can basically do everything with it, I can surf the Internet, send emails,
download video clips. Everything I need to do. But the most important thing is I
can take it with me everywhere I go. It’s cool!
Presenter: Do you use it for educational purposes? I mean for school?
Jack: Sure. I research things on the Internet and it’s really useful for homework too.
Presenter: Lily, how about you? How old are you?
Lily: I’m 15.
Presenter: And what’s your number one gadget?
Lily: Well, I’ve got a new phone which is great, but I think the best gadget is my MP3
player. I love music and I can use my MP3 player to download new songs. I can
listen to them anywhere – at home, on the bus, in the park, even at school, in
the breaks, of course! My phone’s really useful too, though.
Presenter: OK, and how old are you, Rob?
Rob: I’m 15 too.
Presenter: And what gadget is absolutely essential for you?
Rob: That’s a difficult question. I think a lot of different gadgets are important for me,
my mobile phone, for example, and my computer. I’ve got an MP3 player too,
and it’s really cool. But I think perhaps the most important one is my digital
camera. I’m really interested in photography and I’ve got a really nice camera. I
take pictures all the time and the camera's software lets me edit the photos,
upload them to the Internet and share them with my friends. I really enjoy doing
that.
