Read the two texts below and answer the questions after each of them. A message from Jake in Liverpool to an e-mail discussion group. Do Children Know which_programmes are suitable and which are inappropriate for them? Obviously, they dont. These days, violent programmes are attracting bigger and bigger audiences, especially among the young. Did уш know, for example, that 64% of all violence takes place in cartoons? And how many parents would stop a child from watching a cartoon? In any case, few parents actually check up on what their kids are watching, especially now that so many of them have a TV in the bedroom. And that39;s where the problems start. Its not always easy for children to determine the difference between reality and fantasy, and some of them begin to imitate the violent behaviour they see in their favourite programmes. Has anyone heard about the experiment with dolls? I read about it recently. Apparently, psychologists showed two groups of children separate versions of a video. The first group saw a girl playing with a doll, whereas the second group saw another girl kicking and hitting the same doll. Afterwards, the children (Im not sure how old they were sorry!) were left alone in a room with a doll like the one in the videos. The first group played normally with the doll and the other toys, but (youve guessed it!) the second group soon started behaving violently with the doll. Surely the evidence couldn39;t be clearer! Violence on the TV has a negative effect on children39;s behaviour. 1 What is Jakes point of view on TV violence? 2 What facts does he use to prove his opinion? 3 Do you think violence on TV should be forbidden? Who should be responsible for that? 1 Match the paragraphs with their function in the text. a) problem description b) conclusion c) introduction of topic d) example 2 Who is the question addressed to? Why is the author asking it? 3 Why does the author Luse the second person here? 4 Why not simply The problems start herequot;? 5 Why does the author use the first person here? 6 Why are two phrases in brackets? APPEAL TO HOLLYWOOD American parents today are deeply worried about their children39;s exposure to an increasingly toxic popular culture. According to a recent CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll, 76 per cent of adults agree that TV, movies and popular music are negative influences on children. Moreover, there is a direct link between our violent and degrading entertainment culture and the horrifying new crimes among our young. Therefore we, the undersigned, call upon executives of the media industry to join with America39;s parents in a new social compact aimed at renewing our culture and making our media environment more healthy for our society and safer for our children. We appeal to industry leaders in all media to develop a new voluntary code of conduct. The code we envision would: 1 state the industry39;s vital responsibilities for the health of our culture; 2 establish certain minimum standards for violent, sexual and degrading material; 3 forbid the practice of selling adult-oriented programmes to youth markets; 4 make the industry develop good family-oriented entertainment. We strongly urge parents to express their support for a new voluntary code of conduct by signing this Appeal. There are now over 10,000 signatories to the Appeal. 1 According to the writer of the appeal, who is responsible for dealing with violence on TV? 2 Why is it important that the code of conduct should be voluntary? 3 Does the code sound easy to implement? 4 Is this an effective way to deal with TV violence? Why? / Why not? 1 Match the paragraphs with their function in the text. a) general proposition (offer) b) conclusion (appeal) c) introduction of topic d) problem statement e) detailed proposition (offer) 2 What impression do these phrases produce? 3 Why the first person here? 4 What is the function of these phrases?
