[06:04.14]Exercise 1:Directions:Listen to the conversation and answer the following question.
[06:13.07]Gerry:I've just been to see Gone with the Wind. It was fantastic. Well worth seeing.
[06:21.20]Haven't you ever seen it?
[06:23.08]Judy:No, but I've read the book. I don't think I would like to see the film really.
[06:27.97]It would spoil it.
[06:29.66]Gerry:Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of the story I'd go for the film.
[06:40.03]Judy:Would you?
[06:41.44]Gerry:Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better.
[06:46.08]You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, the right accents. All that. Don't you think so?
[06:54.00]Judy:Not really, No. I much prefer to use my own imagination.
[06:59.04]I can see it how I want to see it, rather than how someone makes me see it.
[07:03.25]Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book.
[07:08.47]Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what he or she is thinking.
[07:15.02]Gerry:True, but... well... I don't know. It's much less hard work going to the cinema,
[07:21.90]It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take me a week to read the book.
[07:29.14]Judy:I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.
[07:34.10]Gerry:I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends.
[07:39.43]When you read a book you have to do it on your own.
[07:42.46]Judy:All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee... (263 words)
[07:48.54]On what do the two speakers differ?
