Transcript

I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in.

I knew my actions were wrong. But I convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have far -- didn't have to go far to find them.

Oral Interpretation10 pieces of news (audio)

Reference

At Beijing's flagship Apple Store they switched off the company's famous icon at midday. It was a tribute to Steve Jobs the visionary who had created a truly global brand. Flowers were laid at the entrance of the store. Some came to shop but others are gathered to pay tribute.

Speaker 1 "I just found out this morning from the news

that Mr Jobs has passed away, so this is why I came here. I wanted to buy some flowers myself but I couldn't find where."

Speaker 2

"I'm kind of a diehard fan of Apple. It's really really sad to see that Steve Jobs passed away. This man I think really influenced the way I think, the way I observe the world. I really can't say how grateful I am to him."

Many Apple products are made in China. But unlike other western brands Apple is a household name here. Its iPhones and iPads are snapped up by the growing middle class. More than 35 million Chinese internet users also tweeted about his death.

Steve Jobs was a man who was idolised around the globe and many here say his vision helped connect the world.

Transcript The web-savvy amongst you will know that

just as a mouse is no longer only a rodent, a tweet isn't necessarily a noise made by a bird.

Nearly a quarter of the new words added to the latest edition of the Chambers Dictionary come from internet culture, with the economic recession and climate change also contributing strongly.

The internet age's ability to reinvent old words with new meanings continues. The cloud, you may think, is the thing above your head which produces rain. It's not as simple as that any more.

We all know what pay is, right? And a wall is a wall – as in The Great Wall of... But what about a paywall? Can you work it out?

Moving onto the economy, words such as quantitative easing and double-dip recession have become familiar to followers of current affairs.

Amongst the environmental terms now appearing in the dictionary you can find upcycle and precycle as well as carbon offsetting.

National treasure, neet, man flu, crowdsourcing and staycation are also officially recognised for the first time.

And there are some abbreviations made popular by email and social networking sites. When you're surprised you can write OMG (Oh my God) and if you really like someone, BFF (best friend forever) is the expression for you.
