Listen to the song about radio. Sing the song together.

I believe that the radio is worth loving.

I’d sit alone and watch your light

My only friend through teenage nights

And everything I had to know

I heard it on my radio

Radio.

You gave them all those all time stars

Through wars of worlds – invaded by Mars

You made them laugh – you made them cry

You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise A backdrop for the girls and boys Who just don't know or just don't care And just complain when you're not there You had your time, you had the power You've yet to have your finest hour Radio.

Refrain

All we hear is Radio ga-ga Radio gob-goo Radio ga-ga

All we hear is Radio ga-ga

Radio blah blah

Radio what's new?

Radio, someone still loves you!

We watch the shows - we watch the stars

On videos for hours and hours

We hardly need to use our ears

How music changes through the years.

Let's hope you never leave old friend

Like all good things on you we depend

So stick around cos* we might miss you

When we grew tired of all this visual

You had your time - you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio - Radio.

Refrain

Listen to the tape dialogues and repeat.

All right. I’ll tell you when it starts.

True or False? Act out.

Read the brief text about radio. Answer the questions.

What about radio? It’s worth reminding ourselves that most of the world has never made a telephone call, let alone used a computer and the Internet. One can hardly believe that across the USA there are more than nine thousand radio stations. Listeners can listen to all kinds of stations: pop or classical music, news, sport or radio talk shows. While listening to a radio talk show you can call in and ask any question. But you should be ready to give your own opinion if the talk show host or his guests ask you to.
