Milos: 1_______. I can get all the songs I like, when I want to get them.
Кamila: That’s true, but if you don’t pay for it, 2_______.
Milos: Really? Why is it against the law?
Кamila: Well, getting music for free costs the music industry billions in lost income, so we have less to spend on new bands and singers.
Milos: Was that the problem with Napster?
Кamila: Yes. Napster created a file-sharing system using the MP3 audio format. People could connect to a central location and others could then download their files using the server. Napster closed down in 2001 because it was breaking the law.
Milos: I see, but peer-to-peer music swapping is legal, isn’t it? It’s just two people sharing music – they’re not using a central server.
Кamila: No, it’s still 3_______, I’m afraid.
Milos: Actually, peer-to-peer isn’t that great – you don’t get much choice because it depends on who’s online at the same time as you. Can you download music legally?
Кamila: Yes, 4_______ that charge a fee. It’s really worth paying. The choice and quality of the music is better and they offer other services such as music reviews and chat rooms. Try one!

Vlad: Hi, Boris, I have got a little problem.
Boris: What is it? What is the matter?
Vlad: I saw you receive a parcel with a sign FedEx several times.
Boris: Well, I use their service quite often. Why are you asking?
Vlad: You see, I must get a letter sent by FedEx, and I don’t know what I am to do.
Boris: You know, it is rather simple. 1_______. In fact, it is a carrier service, or an express transportation company. 2_______, say, DHL, FedEx, German Parcel, etc.
Vlad: Then, in what way are they different from traditional postal service?
Boris: In fact, there is a great difference. To begin with, they are more reliable than the regular post. Having something really important to be sent, you’d better use the service of such company, though their services are not cheap at all.
Vlad: Does FedEx deliver internationally, being an American company?
Boris: Of course, they do. If I am not mistaken, they have 3_______ in more than 200 countries.
Vlad: Have they, really? Then, I think, I am sure to receive the documents very soon. But then there is one more question: they have supplied me with the tracking number. What is it needed for?
Boris: Oh, using this number you can track your letter.
Vlad: Where can I track it?
Boris: In 4_______, of course. Just go to FedEx homepage and insert the number you received. You’ll get the complete information about where your package is and when it is going to be at your destination. It is interesting sometimes to see that your parcel travels through so many countries to reach you.
Vlad: Do you want to say that their delivery is slower than a usual post service?
Boris: Why do you think so?
Vlad: You said it travels to many countries…
Boris: No, it is very fast. They choose the best way to deliver. They have their own aircraft and vehicles.
Vlad: It is really very interesting. I wish I knew this before. Now I’d better go and track my parcel.
