    Dear Matt,

    You asked me to tell you about TV programs here in Spain. Well, there are lots of reality shows (真人秀) and talk shows about {#blank#}1{#/blank#}people here. Soap operas are also popular, either Spanish soaps or the ones {#blank#}2{#/blank#} South America.

    My favorite program is a sports program. Its {#blank#}3{#/blank#}is Football Crazy in English. It's on Sunday. Spanish teams usually {#blank#}4{#/blank#}on that day. The program {#blank#}5{#/blank#}at 7:00 p.m. and finishes at 10:00 p.m. In fact, it is replayed (重播) at 11:00 p.m.,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}I don't watch it then. It's too late, and I have school the next morning.

    Like {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ，lots of people think Football Crazy is more interesting than other football programs. This program is really cool because it tells people what happened in all the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}that weekend. The best thing about the program is that it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}all the goals (进球得分) from every game in Spain.  Also, the hosts always have funny comments (评论) and they often find {#blank#}10{#/blank#} things to show.

    Why don't you tell me something about TV programs, in your country? What's your favorite program?

                                                           Yours,

                                                           Marina

    Asking for information or help is very common and necessary (必要的). In English,"{#blank#}1{#/blank#} are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are？?" are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} requests—both are correct English, but the first could sound {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. It's important to use correct languages, but sometimes this is not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. We need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.

    In English, just {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in Chinese, we change the way we speak when {#blank#}6{#/blank#} with different people. The {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you use might depend on whom you are speaking to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} how well you know them. Usually in English polite questions are longer and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} extra language such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" Sometimes, we might even need to spend some time {#blank#}10{#/blank#} into a question or request.

A man was sitting in the doctor's office. He was telling the doctor about his {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. "I like football, Doctor. "He said, "Please help {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. My life has {#blank#}3{#/blank#}been a good one since I became {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in football and it is getting worse and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I can't even get away from it in my sleep. When I close my {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I'm out there in the football field and running {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a flying ball. When I wake up, I'm more {#blank#}8{#/blank#} than I was before I went to bed. What am I going to do?" The doctor sat back and said, "{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of all, you have to do your best not to dream about football. Before you fall asleep, try to think about something else. Try to think that you are at a party and someone is going to give you several million dollars. "" Are you crazy（疯了）?"the man shouted {#blank#}10{#/blank#}，"I'll miss the ball !"
