You are going to give a talk about TV. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences). Remember to say:

• why people spend time watching TV;

• what most teenagers prefer: watching TV or browsing the Internet, and why;

• whether there is a TV programme you really like;

• what your attitude to watching TV as a way to spend your free time is.

You have to talk continuously.

I am going to tell you about television. I find it really important in our everyday life. Looking at my father, who can’t live without the news on TV, I always understand, that for some people the internet won’t replace television. A lot of people spend really much time watching TV programs, shows and films. They do it to relax after a working day, to know new interesting information about something and, of course, they want to know what is happening in the world at present moment. It’s very important for the , I suppose.

Teenagers are young and modern, so they prefer browsing the internet using their different gadgets. They don’t like waiting; it is much easier to download films and to watch them any time they can and like. Also, if they aren’t at home, they can watch any program or film online using the internet. It’s so convenient.

There are a lot of different programs on TV. Some of them are exciting for example different game shows and sports programs, some are really thought-provoking for instance different dramas or documentaries. I think that sitcoms and talk shows are silly and they are a waste of time. I never watch soap operas as I find them predictable and boring. As for me, I like to watch educational TV programs in English and try to watch movies in English with subtitles, because I want to listen to native speakers and to improve my listening skills. But to tell the truth, I like to watch cartoons on TV with my little brother. It’s so funny and relaxing.

That’s all I wanted to say about television.
