(A) 
Rachel: Do you believe everything you read in the news normally? 
Eben: No, not really. Um, I read lots of different papers and I find that they all report the 
same story differently. The interesting trick they play is that each newspaper seems to tell a 
different part of the story, so they withhold the information. 
Rachel: Yeah, they seem to decide differently as to what they think is going to be worthy of 
a story for somebody to read, and they do reflect on it completely differently sometimes. It's 
difficult to know what's important and what's not. 
Eben: Yes, and as I said, it's strange that – it seems that sometimes they will hold back 
information so that the story sounds worse than it actually is and it almost comes across as is 
the newspaper wants you to get angry. 
Rachel: Or sometimes they'll express something that's supposed to be so exciting, and 
you're not quite sure whether you really agree with it being that exciting, or that interesting, 
as it actually is. 
Eben: Which is – yes, I suppose that raises the other point, writing news is a business, it's 
an industry. They have to come up with stories every day, all day, and so they have to

Rachel: Well yeah, and they have to – they have to sell newspapers, they have to make 
money. So sometimes you think that that's the only reason that they may be writing a story.

Anna: Mmm, I guess so. What about copying a CD from a friend? I do that a lot, don’t you? 
Bella: Er, yes, I suppose I shouldn’t really, should I? What about taking stationery home 
from work? 
Anna: I think that depends what it is. I don’t think the odd pen is a problem, is it? 
Bella: No, but you haven’t taken anything bigger, have you? 
Anna: No, of course not! I do know someone who took a whole box of pens though. That’s 
a bit different, isn’t it? 
Bella: Definitely. Now, have you ever lied about your age on an Internet dating site? 
Anna: If I had, I wouldn’t tell you, would I? I think that’s pretty dishonest, actually, but 
people do it all the time, don’t they? 
Bella: Yes, and not just about their age. 
Anna: Hmm. What about switching price labels in a shop? I wouldn’t do that, would you? 
Bella: No, definitely not. That’s just stealing, plain and simple. And I wouldn’t buy 
something, wear it and then return it either. 
A: No, neither would I. So, which is worst? I think switching price labels, actually. 
Bella: Yes, and then, maybe
