[02:33.68]Section B    Compound Dictation

[02:37.54]Let us (11)-{suppose} that you are in the position of a parent.

[02:41.91]Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted without first checking its (12)-{contents}

[02:48.88]Would you take your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is (13)-{suitable} for them.

[02:55.46]If your answer to these questions is "yes",

[02:58.42]then you are just plain (14)-{irresponsible

[03:01.34]If your answer is "no"

[03:03.56]then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children.

[03:08.73]what you consider to be (15)-{undesirable} influence.

[04:24.20]When censorship laws are relaxed.

[04:26.89]dishonest people are given a chance to produce virtually anything in the name of "art".

[04:33.82]One of the great things that censorship does
