Unit 9 - Unreal Life (TV and you)
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 1:08 pmI rarely watch TV, and I am not very interested in topics connected with television. Generally I think that television is very boring.

I don’t enjoy watching commercials.

Probably sports programmes, I think.
3.Do TV programmes have content ratings in your country?
Yes. Programmes that are recommended for adults only appear with the number “18” in the corner of the screen.
4.Do you have a favourite channel?
Maybe one of the locals channels that has a lot of interesting documentaries and culture programmes.
5.Would you ever consider being a contestant on reality show?
No, I don’t think so. I would find it a very painful experience.

Two or three, I think.

Well, football matches are very exciting. The most boring programmes are the ones about reality shows like “Sálvame”.

I don’t really know. I imagine game shows where you can big prizes are popular.
2. What about you?
1. Would you ever consider being a contestant on reality show?
No I likely wouldn't consider being a contestant on that show since I don't like being away from home that long especially since I would still have to make payments on my apartment plus some of those things are just things I wouldn't want to do however if I was a contestant on the show, I wouldn't play with a sense of honor. I have honor but when it comes to playing for money, my sense of honor will go out the window.
