Listening for ielts 7 Unit 1

B
: Oh, Arts.
A
: That's interesting. Could you give any reasons for your choice? I mean why did you put Computer 
first, for example?
B
: Well, now in my country, computers are very popular and it will be easier to find a job after 
graduation and also computer-related jobs are well paid. I suppose that makes a difference. Besides, 
information technology does have a very big effect on our lives, doesn't it?
A
: Yes, I agree. It allows us to store very large amounts of information, transmit a lot of information 
quickly and process a lot of information as soon as we receive it.
B
: Yes. With developments in information technology we can use computers in so many different ways , 
such as sending messages directly and receiving TV programmes from one country to another and 
processing all kinds of information.
A
: Yes, it is more commonly used in my country too. And why did you put Arts last?
B
: Oh, yes, that's simple. I've nothing against Arts. It's quite interesting and creative but I really don't 
have talent in that area. So I put it last.
A
: I see. What about the other subjects? What order did you put those in?
B
: Medicine second, Dentistry third and Engineering fourth.
