Question

These days, of course, you can get music, video, written information and even radio on the internet. We live in the age of the internet! It's very strange, but most people still listen to old- fashioned radios. Here are a few reasons why... The internet offers a huge number of radio stations - about 20,000 from around the world today- and internet radio use is increasing. But it's going up slowly, especially if you compare it to most other internet activities like social networking. Only 36% of people use it for listening to the radio each week compared to well over 60% who use it for streaming music or watching videos. One reason is the technology. Internet radios are very expensive compared to normal radios. They also need a very good, strong internet connection to work properly. Who can get that in their car? Or in the place they work? Or in most bedrooms? Another reason is that listening to the radio helps you if you feel lonely. Many people switch on the radio because it feels like having someone in the room or in the car with you. That can feel even nicer if it's a local radio station. It feels like the DJ or presenter is with you because he or she is talking about places you know, and things which are happening in your area. 1 For questions 1-7, read the text and decide if the statements about the article are TRUE or FALSE.

I don't like listening to music on the radio. I don't like changing the channel all the time or listening to something I don't like, because if the right channel isn't there on time, it's inconvenient. In my opinion, the Internet is better than radio. But I like the radio because you don’t have to pay for it, and in your free time, why not listen to it?
