My brother, Bob, has a very good job at a bank. Last week, to my surprise, he told me that he had decided to give it up. I tried hard to make him change his mind, but Bob wouldn’t listen to me. Here is the dialogue between us.

--I know. I’m satisfied with the bank. It’s a nice job at a nice place. --Then why do you want to leave? --It’s the money. --But you are well paid.

15. The real reason for Bob to leave the bank is that . Radio and television are very popular in the world today. Millions of people watch television. More people listen to the radio. The TV is, of course, more useful than the radio. On the TV you can see and hear what is happening. This is especially important with international events.

However, the radio is not disappearing. It is still with us. And the number of listeners becomes larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor set. A transistor is sometimes very small. It is very easy to carry about. You put one in your pocket when you go to work. You can listen to news broadcasts or radio lessons on the bus. You can listen to them on your bike. You can put your own transistor set beside your pillow when you go to bed. You can take it down to the beach or riverside when you go to swim. Besides, radio broadcasts are better for blind people. And the sight of many old people is not good enough to watch television. Then when people are working, they cannot watch television, but they can always listen to music (in the fields, for instance. on the radio. What’s more, a television set is rather expensive. Not every family can have one. But a transistor set is much cheaper.

However, more and more people are buying TV sets. While you sit comfortably before the TV set in your own living room, you not only hear but also see what is happening in many places in the world.
