Describing a TV programme or channel
Describe a TV programme or channel that you enjoy watching regularly.
What it is called and what is it about?
When do you usually watch it ?
Why do you prefer it to other programmes or channels?
Here's a sample description with the best vocabulary underlined:
I rarely watch traditional television channels nowadays; I much prefer
searching for interesting programmes or videos online. So, although it’s not a
normal
TV channel or programme, I’d like to talk about a website which I think
is kind of a modern version of a TV channel. It’s called TED,
which stands for
‘Technology, Entertainment, Design’, and it’s a great place to watch short talks
and presentations about all sorts of interesting topics. The
good thing about
the videos on TED is that I can watch them whenever I want. I have ted.com
saved as one of my favourites on my laptop, and I tend to visit the website
every few days to check whether there is anything new.
I often watch TED
videos on my phone while I’m travelling to work on the train. The reason I like
watching online videos on TED is that I learn something new every time I watch
one. The tagline for the TED website is ‘ideas worth spreading’, and this really
sums up the appeal of the site for me. Instead of
watching meaningless soap
operas and talk shows on TV, I’d much rather spend 10 minutes watching
someone talk about
a breakthrough in technology, science or healthcare.
