Part 2&3  A program you would like to watch答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

A program that I'd like to watch that I've heard about but not yet seen, as a TV series actually. I guess that counts as a program! The TV series is called The Sandman and is based on a cartoon character, who is the Lord of Dreams. It's obviously fantasy – but from what I've heard it's also quite philosophical and meaningful in the way it is done. It touches upon all sorts of aspects of our thoughts and lives – life, death, suffering, human ambitions, and so on. I would like to watch this with my friend Michael – he's really into these kind of TV series, and he loves to talk about them afterwards, too. I enjoy watching films and series and then having someone to discuss them with after – I think this is really interesting and makes them all the more exciting. The reason the Sandman is so interesting to me is because I’m really into fantasy stuff, but also I like things which involve meaningful reflections on life, have philosophical messages or insights into people and society and things that make you feel you've learned something afterwards, not simply watched something for fun. So, that's why I’d choose The Sandman – though, as I said, I've not seen it, I’ve read reviews about it online, and I've a few friends which have recommended it to me. 

People in my country are real fans of Korean soap operas. They love them! In fact, I think that some people are even crazy about them. I have a colleague called Nan, and she’s really into this one Korean boy star – she's crazy about him – I can't remember his name but he's some young, handsome guy. Anyway, Korean soap operas and their actors are really popular with people of all generations. Other people like nature documentaries and cartoons – people watch a whole range of different types of programmes really, depending on their age and personality. 

Yes, a lot of American TV series were popular a few years ago. I’m not sure if they are so popular today amongst the new generation of youngsters, but certainly my generation really enjoyed a lot of TV from there – especially family comedies and dramas. These days I think they are losing popularity, though. But yes, Korean soap operas and Japanese anime and cartoon series are still the most popular I’d say, all round. They appeal to the cultural tendencies of Chinese people more, in general I'd say. 


Students sometimes watch programs in class. It depends on the school, the subject and the teacher. There are programs which are beneficial for learning, and some teachers who have multimedia equipment in the classroom will use certain programs or snippets from programs to help reinforce learning in the classroom. It tends to engage student’s interest more than a teacher just standing there talking the whole time. Some teachers even advocate the playing of movies in class, and set assignments based on those films. That can be interesting and stimulating for learners. I don’t think that is so common, though.
