You might have been told before that watching American TV series is a good way to improve your English. The show Friends is one of the most commonly suggested shows for English students.
Friends is a classic American situation comedy, or sitcom for short. It has been one of the most popular sitcoms since 1994. What has made the show so popular?
Its humor is, of course, the main reason. Sitcoms like Friends are full of lightheartedand funny jokes. According to a research, the number of jokes in popular US sitcoms ranges from 3. 4 to 7. 4 per minute. Friends has 6 jokes per minute. This pace of humor keeps the audience relaxed, but also fully involved in the show.
When you laugh at the jokes, you might hear people laughing along with you on the show.
This is another special feature of sitcoms-the laugh track. Dating back to the 1940s, the laugh track aims to create. a theater experience at home. This makes the show even more interesting-when others laugh, we want to laugh too.
But sitcoms are not only about Jokes and laughs. As American writer Ken Sanes said, sitcoms are often about the trivial matters of daily life and every character is as real as we are They have fears and foolish emotions, and also do crazy things. The weaknesses they show help us relate to them.
Sitcoms give us permission to move beyond the idealized images of ourselves and the world." as Sanes wrote. "They give us permission to be imperfect."
