A: Excuse me.I'm sorry to bother you,but would you have time to answer a few questions?

B: What's it about?

A: We're doing some market research for a new television channel starting in two years' time.

B: OK,why not?

A: Lovely,we'll just work through this form.And if we could start with some personal background information...

B: Sure.

A: Right,if I could just have your age...

B: 35.

A: Right,great.And your job?

B: Systems analyst,but for the form I don't know whether it would count as professional or business or what.

A: What do you think?

B: Ok,it's more like business.

A: Fine.And would you mind my asking about your salary?

B: No,I don't mind.It's ￡40,000 a year.

A: Thank you.Right ...about your current watching habits your main reason for watching TV?

B: Well,at work I tend to read for information and what have you,so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind.

A: Fine.And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV?

B: Not a lot really ...I should say just over an hour.
