Sample for Band 4
Radio and TV (A)
A group of communications specialists recently investigated the percentage of the English population of the radio and TV from October to December of 1992. The findings were very interesting.
10% to 20% of the population listens to the radio in the morning,from 6 to 12:30 or 1 pm. Less than 10% watches TV. This may be explained by the fact that the English have long been used to, and still interested in, news of sports and economy, etc. From 1 pm to midnight, more people sit in front of the screen. The early evening hours may be called TV time for the country, because as many as 50% of the English nation (over 4 years of age) fixes their eyeballs on the boob tube. They switch from one show to another, for information or entertainment. The typical English needs for the theatre art can be satisfied only by TV — there are always plays shown from Shakespeare to Tennessee.

Radio and TV (B)
You cannot imagine life without the wireless or the television. An average English family has at least two radios and one TV. Both transmission means are popular in the UK.
Let's just look at the percentage of the English population of the radio and TV from October to December, 1992. In the morning, 10% to 20% of the population listens to the wireless. Very few watch TV.This is understandable because most people have to work and the radio is easier to carry in working hours than TV. And the radio always has news of sports and economy, etc.
From I PM to midnight, more people watch TV. 50% of the English nation (over 4 years of age) sits in front of TV in early evening hours. They have a lot of channels and programmes to choose from news, reports, music, especially plays (the English like the theatre art more than any other nation, I would say).
The number of both radio and TV audiences declines after midnight hours till sunrise. But the UK, like Big Ben, never rests.You can catch some couch potatoes any minute of the day or night.
