Teacher: People are said that the increase in travel will lead to a loss of different cultures around the world. Do you agree? Student: Well, yes, I suppose that is a possibility. I'm sure the way of life of many people around the world has changed by contact with tourists. But the change might have been happened anyway, I suppose. Teacher: Yes, maybe. So, do you think we should try to stop the disappearance of native cultures? Student: Oh, yes. I think it will be very sad if we lose different cultures. They enrich our world, don’t they? But it is also argued that many people from poor countries have given opportunities that they wouldn’t have had if there wasn’t any tourism. Their cultures may have changed, but they have been benefited from improvements in education and health as well as their standard of living. Teacher: So do you think that improvements like this inevitably bring about a loss of culture, as some people have been suggested? Student: I suppose I do think that, yes. As we are continued to be provided with better and better education and we have more and more contact with the world outside our own countries, we are being become more and more the same! Teacher: Can you give some examples of what you mean? Student: Well, in my country we now have American restaurants and we watch American movies on TV. American culture feels to be too dominant by many people in my country. And English words have been come into my language too. Teacher: Oh, that’s interesting. And do you think that there will one day be only one language in the world? Student: Well, the way we live has affected in a big way by things like the Internet, email and cheap travel. All countries are using English for these things, and so we all know a little bit of English already. But I am not sure it will use by all countries instead of their own language. That seems unlikely to me. Teacher: You've made some very interesting points. Thank you. 10 11 12 195(©) Fil in the gaps with an appropriate form of the verb in brackets. 1 Fora long time people 2 At the beginning of the experiment, the chemicals .... 3.
