For first topic:
1. I do not really like watch TV. I used to, but now I prefer

watching Youtube or online streaming movie to TV. Because I can

enjoy Youtube anytime I want, but you have to follow the schedule

of the programme on TV.

2. Recently, I get really into a show called "Gossip Girl". I

binge-watch a season 1 over a week.

3. Yes, because I feel curious what will be happen next episode.

Just because the show was finished, so I can binge-watch for a

week.

4. Yeah, I usually do that.

My favorite TV series is My brilliant friend. It can take a while for you to get into it. But its absolutely worth seeing. I binge-watched it over two days. Then I was desperately waiting for the second season to come out. This drama is edited from a novel written by Elena Ferrante, one of the most acclaimed Italian authors. It’s set in Napels, in the early post-war period. The story was about two girls’ life-long friendship who grew up in in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. The two girls’ life story is likewise the embodiment of a nation undergoing momentous change.

As for my watching habits, I used to watch broadcast TV, but now I prefer using streaming services, because I can watch shows when I like.
I don't watch TV for more than an hour every day.
One of my favourite show is a medical drama series House MD. It has a riveting plot and bright characters. It is about a doctor with difficult character who leads a team of diagnostic and. After watching it I know more about illnesses and diagnosis. The main character is good at diagnostics, but he is cynical and often insults people (not just telling the truth, which doctors ought to do). All in all, it is interesting to observe the characters and their relationships in situations which need quick and professional thinking.

I'm interested in a variety of TV shows. I enjoy watching documentary programs that teach me new things about the world around me. Additionally, I like to unwind with entertaining dramas or comedies that help me relax after a long day of studying. Overall, I'm drawn to shows that both entertain and enrich my knowledge.

I used to go through phases, but now I don't have much time so I often binge-watch and put TV on in the background while I'm doing others things. I got really into a comedy sit com called JUST LAUGH and now I get really into your English channel. I prefer streaming to watching broadcast. I find it more convenient, I like being able to watch what I want and when I want. Most streaming services don't have any adverts. And many streaming services let you watch TV shows from other countries in other languages. It could be better if we don't need to pay to watch on streaming services.

At the moment I'm watching parenthood, it's a drama series about four brother and sisters and about what normally happens in their life, I sometimes binge_watch it🤩

Hello good morning best satifaction you video english thka you

[lythien]

How much TV do you watch?
- In the past, I watched TV everyday, especially when I had spare time. But now, due to the busy schedule at university, even I don't have a minute for myself, watching TV is faraway


What is the last show you got into?
- Let me think about the show that I followed the last time. It's a educational series named: "IELTS Face-off" where the guests are invited to share their experiences in using English as their means of communication. Only one word is accurate for the description of this show: "Inspirational!!"


Have you ever binge-watched a show?
- Yes, totally yes. When I was a child, I adored anime-series from Japan, particularly "Naruto". I can't remember how many times I pictured myself as a character in Naruto to own and summon a divine animal for attacking opponents :). I watched it continuously and tirelessly, totally stuck into this movie.


Do you like to put TV on in the background when you are doing housework?
-Yes, by this way, I can save a lot of time by simultaneously doing 2 things, collecting the news from TV and my chores will be done :)


(I don't know whether I made any grammar mistake or not, please let me know ^^~)
