| M: What are you reading , Bill? W: It's this week's New Scientist, why? M: I was just wondering -- it looks interesting, but I've never actaully read it myself. It's for real scientists. Or can ordinary people like me understand it? M: Oh, it's for anyone, really. It usually has articles and stories about current affairs, about science, as well as papers about new developments in research. I'm reading about a new telephone that allows you to see the person you're speaking to, as well as hear him. W: Oh, I've heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one? M: No, not this one. But the company has made other models to try out on business. This one is special, because its color and the image is moving. W: Oh, that's interesting. M: You see the first video phones, that's what they called, were made in Japan. But they can only show a still back and white iamge. So this video phone is much better than that. Mind you, I'm not sure I'd want one, would you? W: Well, no, I don't think I would. I'd be it costs a lot of money. Does it say how much it costs? M: Yes. The early black and white ones cost several hunderd pounds, but the one the story is about costs several thousand pounds. W: Mm... why does anybody want one, do you think? M: Business organizations that need to frequently contact overseas organizations would want it. It's like a face-to-face conversation, so maybe a lot of overseas travel can be avoided. W: Yes, I suppose so. |
