Do you want to join me? Jack: Sure. What do you want to watch?

Mark: Well, what do you think of talk shows? Jack: I don't mind them, but sometimes they can be a bit boring.

Mark: That's true. Do you want to just watch the news? Jack: I guess so. Maybe we can watch that new talent show after the news.

I usually can't stand talent shows, but that one is quite funny. Mark: OK, sure, but the soccer game starts at 5:00 p. m.

Jack: Oh, yeah, I want to watch that game, too. Section A activity 2a

Role-play the conversation. What did you do in class today, Sarah?

We had a discussion about TV shows. My classmates like game shows and sports shows.

Oh, I can't stand them. I love soap operas.

I like to follow the story and see what happens next. Well, I don't mind soap operas.

But my favorite TV shows are the news and talk shows. They're boring!

Well, they may not be very exciting, but you can expect to learn a lot from them. I hope to be a TV reporter one day.

There are many TV programs today. What's my favorite? My favorite is the talent show. Because some of them are very educationalAnd they gave people a way to fulfill their dreams. What about soap operas? In fact, I can't stand them. They are boring and meaningless. I think watching soap operas is a waste of time. Sometimes my parents and I watch comedies together. We all like comedies very much because they are very interesting.
