Hello. Welcome to Study English, IELTS preparation. I'm Margot Politis.
0:19
Today we're going to talk about simple present tense, definitions and technical vocabulary,
0:27
all the things you need to know and use to write a report.
0:30
First, we'll listen to someone talking about copyright - the rights people have to their
0:36
own work.
0:37
It's structured like a simple information report.
0:41
Copyright's a passion of mine. Copyright is the exclusive bundle of rights, which is awarded
0:49
to the author or a creator of work, to entitle them to market it, to get economic reward
0:56
for their creative endeavour and to entitle them to say when, how and on what conditions
1:02
their work may be used.
1:04
Once I put my book on the internet anybody can access it at the push of a button, or
1:09
click of a mouse. Anybody can download it, copy it and transmit it without my knowledge,
1:15
without my consent a hundred times over to every country in the world without me knowing.
1:21
There is a misconception about work, which is submitted to the internet, and it's that
1:26
if you've given it to the internet, it's gone to a public domain, therefore anyone can use
1:31
it as they will, when they will, and that is a very seriously ill-founded misconception.
1:37
The fact that you submit work to the internet does not affect your legal rights in relation
1:41
to that work.
1:42
OK, so we heard Celine McInerney present an information report.
1:48
An information report presents information about a subject.
1:53
Its purpose is to classify and describe a subject using a range of facts.
1:58
The subject is usually a general topic or area, rather than a specific person or place.
2:05
For example, the general subject of today's information report is copyright.
2:10
But whatever the subject, there are a few common features that all information reports
2:15
have.
2:16
You might notice that the report is in the simple present tense.
