Dictation A:
Specialists in marketing have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk,, flour and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright-colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you e and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. The store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to say and spend more money.
So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.
Dictation B
While I was shopping in a large department store, I stopped in the book department. I spent at least 30 minutes there becau I was looking for a number of books which I wanted to give to people as prents. I found quite a few of them so I put them in a pile beside me. I was standing there and reading the books quietly, choosing some and putting some others back, when an elderly lady came up to me. Pushed a book at me and said, “I’ll take this.” I replied to her, “Go ahead, madam, but you had better pay for it first.” Then I realized that becau I was standing by a great pile of books, she thought I was a shop assistant. I was starting to explain when she interrupted me and complained about the rvice in the shop. I said nothing and walked away.

On many occasions we may hear people say that men are superior to women. Actually this is a manifestation of male chauvinism.
True, men are doing better than women in most fields, but this is not women’s fault. The age-old traditions which prevent women from enjoying equal opportunities with men have a lot to do with the problem.
There is yet another form of invisible discrimination. That is the deep-rooted prejudice th
at es ignorance as a woman’s virtue. But of cour it is true that in our country women’s status has been greatly raid in the past fifty years.
A main obstacle that often holds women back is fear, which results from social prejudice. Fear keeps women from doing anything significant. To root out the conventional prejudices, women should hold to the belief that they can catch up with and surpass men. This belief will build up women’s confidence, overcome their fear, and shatter the myth that men are superior to women.
