W: That's interesting. I should like to hear what people think about advertising.
M: [19] What's there to say？ We must have advertising, mustn't we？
W: Why？
M: Well, [19] we wouldn't know what there was to buy if we didn't have advertisements.
W: Yes, that's true up to a point. Advertisements provide information that we need. If someone has produced a new article, naturally, the seller wants to tell us about it.
M: Yes. And the advertisements tell us which product is the best.
W: Do they？ I don't think so. Every manufacturer says that his product is the best or at least tries to give the impression. [20] Only one can be the best, so the others are misleading, aren't they？
M: Well, in a way, I suppose. But we don't have to believe them, do we？
W: Are you saying that advertisements aren't effective？ I don't think that intelligent businessmen will spend millions of dollars on advertising if nobody believes the advertisements, do you？
M: Perhaps not. But after all, it's their money that they are spending.
W: Is it？ I think not. The cost of advertising is added to the price of the article. [21] You and I and all the other people who buy the article pay for the advertising.
M: Well, I suppose we get something for our money… some information.
W: Yes, [20] but don't forget it's often misleading information, and sometimes harmful.
M: Harmful？
W: What about advertisements designed to persuade young people to smoke cigarettes？ Wouldn't you say they are harmful？
M: You've given me a lot to think about. I'm quite looking forward to the debate now.

M: Sorry, but I can't believe that you're actually complaining about free publicity. I mean I remember, Shelley, before you were famous, you were begging us to write features about you...anything...
W: If you would just let me finish of course the press have been important. I'm an actress and I understand the power of the press. But the thing is, I rarely seem to read anything true about myself these days... The point I'm trying to make here is that famous people have families with feelings.
M: Oh, sorry. You're really hurt by that particular article last week.
W: To increase circulation and make more money, certain newspapers continue to print those stories when it's obvious that they're not true.
M: But I think we have to consider the relationship between fame, the public and the press. The public are fascinated by fame and scandal, and they love to read about their favorite stars.
W: I'm sick of gutter-press making up stories. It's irresponsible and it messes up people's life.
M: The problem is, it's not always clear what's true and what isn't. I mean, if a newspaper prints something scandalous or embarrassing about a famous person, they're bound to deny it, but that doesn't mean it's not true.
W: Are you trying to say...
M: No smoke without fire, if you ask me.

W: Really？ Don't you feel it enjoyable and quite beneficial？
M: No, I just feel it's a waste of time.
W: I can't see eye to eye with you. No matter what you think, I still believe class discussion is a good way of teaching and learning. As you know, class discussion can get us students more involved in what is being studied rather than sit there and listen all the time. We have a chance to speak our minds and share what we know about the subjects. Don't you feel the same way？
M: Well, in a way what you said is true, but I'd rather listen to what the professor knows about the subjects, for he is expected to be better informed. I don't think there is any point in wasting our time listening to other students who are as ignorant as us.
W: We may be ignorant in many aspects compared to the professor. But our opinions and experiences are also worth listening to and learning from. As the proverb goes, four eyes see more than two.
M: Sure, I understand many hands make light work. But some students are often dominant and aggressive in the discussion and do not respect others' right to speak. I hate those self-important and irritating fellows.
W: I admit there are such moments in class discussion. But we should do justice to class discussion though some students fail to behave themselves and focus on the topic.
