虽然大家现在都不怎么看电视了，不过TV show这个素材还是一抓一大把的！因为国内国外各种reality show，talk show，game show随处可见，即使没有从头追过，也肯定在各种社交网络上看过朋友分享的片段。

有关TV show的思路，如果你真的是某show的死忠粉儿，那么别犹豫，就跟考官聊聊你对它的喜爱！比如下面的“跑男”，就是大多数人会选择的素材：

I’d like to talk about Running Man, which is a reality show in China, or we can call it variety show, ‘cause there would be people performing in that show.

Anyway, it’s broadcast every weekend, and I never missed one single episode ‘cause it’s so entertaining. I just find it a perfect way to relax and release the pressure after a week’s study.

This show would invite TV celebrities and movie stars as the guests, and each episode has its own theme, and guests are divided into several groups, competing with each other to win the game, which sometimes can be hilarious.

I love that show ‘cause my idol XXX who’s a popular Chinese actor and singer is the permanent guest, and from that show, I get to know what he’s like in real life, and his personality and hobbies.

Another thing I like about this show is that it’s full of positive energy. Sometimes they would shoot the show in those poverty-stricken areas, and guests would donate money and daily necessities to the villagers. It’s a really meaningful thing to do ‘cause they have attracted public attention to those poor kids, and people would know that there’s someplace like that where students couldn’t study at night ‘cause there’s no electricity. So to some extent, it’s more like a charity activity.

   但是如果大家不是特别了解某一个show，只是听说或者看过片段，比如有一阵子微博很流行的一个国外的TV show，应该是个game show，类似当年的“开心辞典”之类的答对题目可以赢钱的那种。每位选手（contestant）可以有一次场外求助的机会，有位年轻人过关斩将，到了最后一道题目，如果答对了，就可以获得one million dollars，他选择了给爸爸打电话。不过这个小伙子接下来的举动震惊了全场观众。电话接通后，他对爸爸说：“我知道你在看我答题，其实我知道问题的答案，我只是想亲口告诉你，我要赢得一百美元奖金了！”

上面的素材，可以用到的话题有很多，比如local news，就说这个show是咱家这边儿的呗！还有interesting story from TV，这个故事多有趣是不是！当然，TV show也是很切题的嘛，就说最喜欢的是一个叫做Dream Fund的game show（瞎编的，不过“梦想基金”确实听着耳熟），这个节目可以让挑战者回答问题赢得“梦想基金”，然后最让我印象深刻的一期是Blah，blah……

OK，所以对于媒体类的话题，大家平时接触的有趣的素材，基本都可以搬过来用。微博啦，朋友圈啦不要光看热闹，想想拿英文怎么聊哦！
