MY FAVOURITE TV PROGRAMME

TIM

Well, my favourite TV programme is Big Brother. I love reality TV

programmes. I can watch them for hours! My mum says I should watch less TV.
She thinks Big Brother is boring…

JANE

I love documentaries, especially animal documentaries. I usually watch

them after lunch. Documentaries are more interesting than other TV
programmes, because you can learn things…

BARBARA

I hardly ever watch TV. I only watch the news, really. I like to know what’s
happening in the world. It’s easier to watch the news on TV than read a
newspaper…

PETE
I think The Simpsons is the best programme on TV. It’s really funny! It’s
definitely the funniest cartoon. And the worst? Well, the worst programmes are
all those chat shows. They’re terrible…

VANESSA
Actually, I don’t have a television. I prefer doing other things. You know, on
average, people spend more than three hours a day watching TV! That’s a lot
of time! I like films, though. I often go to the cinema with my friends…
