【正确答案】
【答案解析】Candidate A:
From the statistics shown in the graph, we can see that the number of people attending cinemas is getting steadily smaller. At the same time, the number of television viewers is growing at almost the same rate. So far as I am concerned, the reason lie in three aspects. First, over the past few decades, television sets have appeared in almost every home, so watching TV has become very convenient. Second, films become available on video very quickly, and can be shown on the TV screen. Third, it is becoming more expensive to make films, so the cost of watching films in the cinema is rising. Many people cannot afford to attend cinemas frequently. Therefore, film is giving way to TV.

Thank you. Now, Candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?
(Half a minute for asking and answering the question.)
Candidate B:
Do you mean it is time for the death of the movie industry?
Candidate A:
No. There will always be people who prefer to go out to see a film. That is because no matter how good a TV film or video is, it can never be as entertaining as a film shown on the "big screen".
