Hand to hand
Certain shops opened their doors at one minute past
midnight this morning to satisfy demand for
0thelatest consumer craze, Sony's
PlayStation Portable. 1is expected
that we will purchase at least a million of these handheld PSPs in Britain within four months of the launch,
and maybe more. 2 this sales
forecast illustrates, is that we 3 become a nation
of incurable consumers, perpetually eager for the next
new gadget. 3 The PSP is just another stage
in a cultural revolution, that 4 seen entertainment move
from outside (cinemas and concert halls) into the home
(TV sets and music systems), and is now attaching
5to people on the move. A typical
PSP buyer 6 well already own an
iPod, a mobile phone and a digital watch, so will now
need 7carry a fourth electronic
device around - for the time being, anyway.
In the longer term, consumers 8 prefer to buy
a single multi-functional device, 9even
10 this is far from certain. After all there is a clock built into
virtually every mobile phone, most people still wear
watches. Sometimes, it would appear, old technologies
are simply too difficult to dislodge.
1) Man was told to be at work at 8.30.
2) Man didn't know what to do, because he was offered no information about the building or where he was going to work, so he just waited around until some of the secretaries began to turn up.
3) His workplace was like a dirty office on the fifth floor.
4) Man wasn't satisfied with his workplace because , firstly, it was messy(or dirty) , secondly, he was given a desk in a corner.
5) He was given some letters to type on a computer by one of the senior secretaries.
6) It wasn't a success, because he had never been taught how to use a computer.
7) Man think he wasn’t being paid enough , because things hadn't got any better and he couldn't put up with this nonsense.
8) He decided to walk out and didn't go back.
9) To my mind, he was totally right.
