2017年雅思口语模拟试题：追过的剧

　　参考范文：Describe a TV drama series you’ve watched

　　1. What shows do old people and young people watch? 老人和年轻人各自看什么节目?

　　Oh, I guess old people, first of all, opt for news programs as only news lets them stay informed and up-to-date with what is going on in the area and in the world. They also like to watch all types of programs which help them get entertained and not feel lonely, I mean different talk and talent shows, cookery, programs and other programs about hobbies such as gardening, fishing and travelling. Elderly women also watch soap operas and dramas in order to involve themselves emotionally in something outside themselves while elderly men prefer to watch sporting events to expose themselves to things they enjoyed doing in their young years. I am not sure that young people watch TV these days as the majority of the young think that it's not very meaningful as it leaves people with less time for life, causes unrealistic expectations and is just unable to bring people any of the change they want in their life or in the world. So, I guess that even if young people watch TV, they opt only for entertainment programs like reality, talent and game shows, and maybe programs that feature holiday destinations and travel reviews as let them get a broader understanding of the world they live in.

　　2. What is the influence of foreign shows on the shows produced in your country? 外国节目对你们国家制作的节目有什么影响?

　　Well, to my mind, foreign shows have tremendous sway with TV shows made in my country as they provide our TV producers with the three most important TV show components, I mean great ideas, the format and interesting content. This influence can hardly be overestimated as altogether these three building blocks improve the quality of shows produced in my country and make them explode with audience activity massive numbers of engagement, is vital for our TV channels and the profit.
