(Suggested time 10 mins)
Jim: I enjoy watching TV with friends. How about you?
- genre / type
Hi Jim, spending time watching favorite TV programs with close friends is absolutely a wonderful activity. I
often visit my friend on the weekend, then we gather in her room, and watch many types of movies such as
cartoons, or rom coms.
I'm a big fan of Peaky Blinders, and I love watching it with my friends. We always get excited about the
intense twists, the sharp dialogues, and, of course, Thomas Shelby’s legendary moments. It’s even more fun
to discuss theories and favorite scenes together after each episode.
Jane: I like watching science programs. What genres of programs do you like?
Well, science programs sound really fantastic, but they’re too difficult for me to fully understand, so I don’t
watch them frequently. Moreover I’m into educational programs, which I can watch for hours without
getting bored. I believe solving math programs and learning English shows can broaden my knowledge.
- entertainment -> relax /unwind / wind down / reduce stress and tension
- news -> update the latest information
Michelle: Does TV make us waste time?
- It really depends on which programs we watch. I mean it could be time-consuming to see
inappropriate programs, but if we can choose the suitable and useful ones like education and
entertainment, they’re worth watching. This is because not only do they widen our horizon and minds
, but also reduce our tension.
