it can reduce stress levels and help people manage their daily lives better Another benefit for many people and businesses is that work can continue outside the office Phone calls can be made almost anywhere and documents can be read or written on public transport or in cafés This is extremely beneficial for people who have long trips to work Despite the advantages mentioned above, care must be taken to ensure that the convenience of ‘teleworking’ does not lead to more hours on the job and less time spent doing exercise or being with friends and family No one would deny that it is wonderful to be able to work from home, but a person who spends too much time on their computer may find that their health suffers in the long run Similarly, anyone who enjoys the benefits of working on public transport needs to make sure that they consider other people around them In my city, there are notices that warn travellers not to talk loudly on their phones; in others, there are mobile-free carriages on trains because companies have had so many complaints On the whole, most people profit from the use of mobile technology, and there are obvious advantages to its use However, we need to keep an eye on how much we rely on this resource, otherwise the disadvantages will be greater for everyone Speaker a) sounds more interested;

The graph shows the rapidly growing number of 3D cinema screens around the world, while the chart provides information on two types of film that are released in 3D, and shows how their relative numbers have changed over time Clearly, the global increase in 3D screens has been significant In 2005, there were none, and initially the increase in numbers was minimal However, between 2008 and 2011, there was a steep rise to just over 35,000 screens, after which numbers seemed to flatten out a little The chart shows a similar pattern in terms of 3D film releases Very few animated films and no live-action films existed in this format up to 2007 In 2008, live action and animated films were released in equally small numbers However, between 2009 and 2012, the combined number of these films increased dramatically to about 75 In addition, the number of live-action films grew faster, so that by this date there were twice as many live-action films as animations To summarise, there has evidently been significant growth in 3D cinema, with the number of live-action 3D films outstripping that of animations by the end of the period covered in the data Task Sam ple answ er Most people are aware that they need to take some responsibility for their health by eating sensibly and taking regular exercise, and many succeed in doing this The reasons why others fail can be complex and not necessarily mean that they rely on the medical profession to keep them healthy The main reasons people give for being less healthy.than others are often economic People who fail to eat sensibly argue that they not have thè time or the money to cook nutritious meals Being busy and working long hours also affect people’s willingness to give up time to go to the gym or join a sports club These may seem valid excuses, but ultimately they can lead to a sedentary lifestyle These days, research has shown that there is a direct link between inactivity and illness Eating large quantities of fat, for instance, can result in weight gain, which can lead to high blood pressure or arthritis; heart-related problems are common among people who live stressful, inactive lives Eventually, people may end up requiring prescription drugs and hospital appointments in order to treat their conditions It is often only after this has happened that people decide to change their diet and start exercising, usually on the advice of their doctor Clearly, if they had always had a healthy lifestyle, they would not have needed medical treatment However, once they become ill, most people take steps to redress the situation as best they can In summary, most people try, with varying degrees of success, to live a healthy lifestyle, even if they take some time to realise how important this is Only a small proportion of the population are unable to change, and thus rely on doctors Answer key U8; Acknowledgements Text acknowledgements The authors and publishers acknowledge the following sources of
