[00:01.31]Well, in my opinion,
[00:03.17]this shows the media¹ is getting worse and worse
[00:06.07]I mean, look at all these awful American chat
[00:08.47]shows on TV.They're so bad.
[00:10.90]I agree. You're right,
[00:13.11]there's a lot of rubbish on nowadays.
[00:14.79]I think they should control what goes on TV.
[00:17.64]There's too much violence² and sex,
[00:18.85]all those terrible action films,
[00:20.85]and even advertisements.
[00:21.75]I totally agree.It's not very nice.
[00:24.53]But people seem to want that kind of thing.
[00:27.05]Personally, I'm against too much control.
[00:29.68]I'm afraid I can't agree with you.
[00:31.89]I'm in favour of some kind of control.
[00:34.34]I think it's necessary to protect children.
[00:37.19]I don't agree.How can you stop...
[00:40.63]Listen again and check your answers.

[01:14.76]for encouragement of the paparazzi.
[01:18.41]3 It is legal⁴ to take photographs
[01:21.12]of famous people if they are in public.
