Listening - Technology and work
1 I can get patients 'lab results - blood and biochemistry - through the Health Service intranet. No delays, no need to wait for paper copies. It's much faster.
2 My students can use the Internet to practice their German. They exchange emails with German students - half the time in English, half in German. It's more realistic. And I can use the Web to get up-to-date material in German. I have a satellite receiver at home so I can watch German TV and record programmes for use in class.
3 People pay with plastic. Now it's more cards than cash. it's safer because there's less money in the shop but I have to pay the card companies each time. And l don't get my money if someone uses a stolen card.
4 It's not good. My sales are much worse. Instead of buying CDs, people download individual tracks from the Internet.
