Last Monday, we had an  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (interest) and funny English class. In the class, we had  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} discussion about TV shows in small  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (group). Here is what Li Dong, one of my classmates, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (think) of some TV shows.

    "For soap operas, I can't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (real) stand (忍受) them. They are long and  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bore). Some  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} meaningless. They usually make me want to sleep. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I love sports shows such as football games and basketball games. I like watching the World Cup on TV best. I think all the games are exciting. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} do I think of talent shows? I like them. I think I can learn a lot of things from them. What about talk shows? I don't mind them. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} there are no my favorite shows on TV, sometimes I watch talk shows. But if there is a sports game, I choose to watch the sports game."

    These are Li Dong's likes and dislikes about TV shows. What do you think of TV shows?

    My friend Jim was a middle school student five years ago. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in a small house with his parents in the country. They were poor. They{#blank#}2{#/blank#} have much money. His school was pretty far from his home, but he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to walk there every day.

    Now he is a student of a college. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) hard every day. He is interested in computer science and wants to be a computer {#blank#}5{#/blank#} after he leaves college. “I'll use computers {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (much) to do lots of interesting things. I'll work hard to make more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to buy a big apartment. I'll live in Shanghai because I love {#blank#}8{#/blank#} city. I like traveling and I'll travel around the world, I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have) a robot at home. It will help me do some housework, so I'll have more free time {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relax). I think I'll live a happy life," he says.
