Lesson 93, Part 2

1.	Part 1に引き続き、ミーティングなどで他人の意見を聞き、そして自分の意見を述べる方法を学びます。マーティンはテレビ番組の暴力シーンの子供への影響を心配する親たちの話し合いに参加しています。

	This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 93, Part 2.

	ANITA:	What's your opinion, Martin? You've been very quiet.
	MARTIN:	I've been listening. I'm Martin Learner, by the way.
	JAY:	Do you have children?
	MARTIN:	They are a little older, Jay.
	ANITA:	Your daughter isn't very old. What do you think about her watching television?
	MARTIN:	In my opinion, we see too much violence.
	VANCE:	I think we see the other side too. I believe the news programs do very well.
	ANITA:	Let's agree there are too many guns on television. What can we do?
	VANCE:	I don't agree, but I'll listen.
	JAY:	Martin, what would you recommend?
	TINA:	I think we should boycott television.
	YUKI:	Boycott?
	ANITA:	That means we should stop watching TV.
	YUKI:	I don't agree. I feel that is not good.
	MARTIN:	Are some programs better than others?
	ANITA:	Sure. I think some programs are OK.
	JAY:	I agree. I don't think they're all bad.
	VANCE:	I feel there are more good programs than bad programs.
	TINA:	Oh, no. That's absurd.
	MARTIN:	Could you decide which programs are the worst?
	JAY:	And which ones are the best?
	TINA:	And then what?
	MARTIN:	Then you could decide on a plan. Maybe you could tell the television companies how you feel about the programs.
	YUKI:	Would they listen?
	ANITA:	I think they would.
	MARTIN:	I believe they would too. They want you to watch their programs.
	JAY:	They don't want you to turn off TV, like Tina.
	TINA:	I believe I should turn it off when it's bad.
	MARTIN:	That's one way, of course. Don't you think you could work together?
	ANITA:	Do you think we could write letters?
	JAY:	I don't have time. I don't even have time to watch TV with my children.
	ANITA:	Maybe we need more parents to help us. Do you agree?
	VANCE:	That would help I think. Could we study the programs?
	JAY:	All of them?
	ANITA:	We know the most popular ones. We could ask all the parents to list their children's favorite programs.
	MARTIN:	Then ask parents to choose the best.
	VANCE:	I think they should put them in order. You know, best at the top and worst at the bottom.
	JAY:	I think that's a good idea.
	YUKI:	Do you think we would agree?
	VANCE:	Probably not.
	ANITA:	I believe we would agree on some programs.
	TINA:	In my opinion, it won't work.
	MARTIN:	I feel you should try it. You might agree on the very bad programs. Those are the ones you don't want your children to watch.
	ANITA:	Martin, could you help us get started?
	MARTIN:	I'd be happy to.
