LISTENING 1 (9 points)
Do you use any of the social networking websites which are so popular these days? You know - the places where you can
connect up with friends and relatives and meet people who share the same interests as you?
If you’re younger you may use MySpace, young adults are more likely to be found on Facebook and busy professionals may
prefer something like LinkedIn. But at least two of these sites have one thing in common: apart from being social spaces
where you can meet and chat to people, share photos and other things, they’ve all added new verbs and nouns to the language
in the past couple of years.
Now, listen to Gavin Dudeny talking about change in the English language and answer these questions.
a. What type of Internet site does he discuss?
b. Who do you connect up with on those sites?
a. social networking sites
b. friends and relatives
Listen to Section 1 again and decide if the following statements are true or false, according to Gavin
Dudeny.
a. People who use Myspace are generally not as old as people who use Facebook
b. LinkedIn is for people with good jobs.
c. Sites like these have given new words such as adverbs and adjectives to the language.
a. True – ‘If you’re younger you may use MySpace, young adults are more likely to be
found on Facebook’
b. True – ‘busy professionals may prefer something like LinkedIn’
c. False – ‘they’ve all added new verbs and nouns to the language in the past couple of
years.’

LISTENING 2 (10 points) – use capital F or capital M for Facebook and Myspace
Let’s take a look at some examples. I’ve just facebooked the photos from my summer holiday [uploaded them to
my Facebook page]. I facebooked that guy John and it turns out he’s an architect [looked him up in Facebook].
Did you facebook Susan about the party? [contact Susan through her Facebook page]. Anyway, nice to meet
you. Do you mind if I facebook you? [add you as a Facebook friend].
As you can see, ‘facebook’ is a pretty versatile word, and you could say the same about ‘myspace’, which you
will find being used in much the same way all over the Net. LinkedIn (being a more adult, professional
community) is yet to succumb to such cavalier twisting of the English language!
And while you’re ‘facebooking’ or ‘myspacing’ you may also find yourself ‘commenting’ (writing a comment
on someone’s Facebook or MySpace page), as in this example: ‘I commented Dawn that she should come to the
pub on Saturday and she commented me that she couldn’t because she was going away for the weekend’.
Anyway, I must get on. I haven’t facebooked yet today and there’s sure to be a lot to catch up on!
Find the phrases in the text that have the following meanings. (3 points)
a. a group of people with similar interests or connections
b. stop doing something in order to do something more important
c. to find out the latest news and information; to bring yourself up-to-date
a. community
b. to get on
c. to catch up on something
