This is awful!
Can you e what's on another channel?
Yeah, sure、What channel?
Uh, anything but this、
The television viewers are trying to decide on a programme to watch,
by clicking on channels and eing what's on、
This practice is known as channel surfing、
In the past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV、
There were only three channels to choo from、
Cable television has changed all that、
There are so many channels,
and so many different kinds of programmes to watch,
many viewer s find it difficult to decide what to watch,
even when they are watching by themlves、
This business traveler doesn't like anything、
Many people like a particular type of programme、

She was the best by far!
If you ask me, they're pretty much all the same、
What is the man's opinion of the actress?
Conversation 2
What an awful play!
The writing was hopeless and the acting was really poor、
三星刷机
It was a plete waste of money、
We could have stayed at home and watched television、
Where did the conversation most probably take place?
Conversation 3
You often e Mark and Jane together at the opera,
but I understand they live pletely parate lives now、
Well, it's a bit like acting、You have to keep up appearances、
What do we learn about Mark and Jane?

So if I give you ten dollars for two tickets,
you can give me six dollars' change、
Whatever you say、I'm hopeless at maths、
How much is a ticket?

Lovely evening!
Yes, it would be good to do something、
How about going to a country pub?
OK, where do you suggest?
What about the one just off the main road towards Henley?
The King's Head?
That's the one!
Yes, but the trouble is, it gets so crowded at weekends in the summer, especially if the weather is good、
What I'd really like is somewhere to sit on the grass with a beer,
and to be able to talk and hear what I'm saying、
Yes, the problem is that so many of the things
we like to do are determined by the climate、
I mean, I'm sure the King's Head is empty in the winter、
Do you know what the most popular leisure activity in England is? Watching football?
Fishing、
Fishing?
Apparently, more people go fishing than do any other activity、Even in bad weather、And its nearly always the men as well、And they can be so bad tempered if you get too clo、
It would be nice just to go for a walk
like they do in Italy and Greece, just before dinner,
when everyone gets dresd up,
and walks up and down the main street,
looking at each other, and meeting friends、
But you couldn't do that here, becau it would start raining 、、、True、
So what's on television?
