While-listening: time 15 min.
aim: 
listening for specific information.
Tell students that they are going to listen to a woman being interviewed for a 
magazine survey on reading, watching films and film adaptation of books. They 
should listen and complete the notes.
TapE sCRIpT 26.
Interviewer:
how often do you read books?
Woman:
I can’t say that I read very often. Maybe, one or two books a month.
Interviewer:
What are you reading at the moment?
Woman:
Now I’m reading "Uch ildiz" by Pirimkul Kodirov. The last one.
Interviewer:
how often do you go to the cinema?
Woman:
Well, i seldom 
go to the cinema. Even less often than reading a 
book. twice or three times a year.
Interviewer:
Do you ever go to see film adaptations of books?
Woman:
Yes, sometimes do this.
Interviewer:
But what do you think is better? Reading a book or seeing the film 
of the book?
Woman:
Definitely, 
reading a book is much more interesting. i think with 
books you know what the characters feel and think. You understand 
them. the characters are almost like real people. What about 
films… uhh… sometimes they are 
successful. but sometimes i 
get shocked
watching films because characters are different to the 
way i imagined.
