Teenagers’ opinions about TW programmes:

Kate, 12

My favourite programmes on the TV are 0soap operas / novels. I love the stories and the characters in
them. I don’t usually listen to 1horror stories / rock music – I prefer hip hop. I like listening to the
radio, especially 2phone-in / reality shows when people call the radio station. I don’t usually read
3
comics / sports pages because I think they’re for kids and not for teenagers like me! I like reading
4
news headlines / horoscopes. I don’t believe them but they’re quite funny. I read my friend’s 5blog /
documentary too. She writes about music and film every week.

Emma,13

My favourite programmes on the TV are 0soap operas / novels. I love the stories and the characters
in them. I also like watching 1current affairs / reality show programmes that tell you about what’s
happening in the world. I don’t listen to much 2novels / classical music – I prefer pop. I like listening
to the radio, especially 3talk shows / weather forecasts where they interview famous people. I don’t
usually read 4novels / comics because I think they’re too long. I prefer reading 5horror stories / short
stories because they don’t take long to read.

Do We Still Need Radios?

These days, of course, you can get music, video, news and even radio on the internet. We live in the
age of the internet! It’s very strange, but most people still listen to old-fashioned radios. Here are a
few reasons why…

The internet offers a big number of radio stations – about 20,000 from around the world today – and
more and more people are using internet radio. But still, it isn’t the most popular internet activity:
only 36% of people use the internet for listening to the radio each week, while over 60% of people
use it for streaming music or watching videos.

One of the reasons is the technology. Internet radios are much more expensive than normal radios.
They also need a very good, strong internet connection to work well. So, traditional radios are easier
to get in cars, workplaces and in many bedrooms.
