Set and filmed in India, the film tells the story of Jamal Malik, a young man from the Juhu slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and exceeds people's expectations, thereby arousing the suspicions of cheating. It was widely acclaimed, being praised for its plot, soundtrack and directing. It was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 2009, winning eight, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.A Listen to the first news report broadcasted when Slumdog Millionaire won 10 Academy Award nominations. Note down the key words in the notes column. Then complete the storyline of the movie.Audioscript:One of the strongest contenders for the Best Picture Oscar this year is Slumdog Millionaire.Set in Mumbai, India, it is a story about destiny. Jamal Malik, a young man from the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian reality show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Based on its Americanequivalent, the Indian show offers 20 million rupees ($400 000) to the winner.Few expected this independent production directed by filmmaker Danny Boyle to make it to the Oscars. But Slumdog is no longer an underdog. It has won viewers' hearts and gained critical acclaim. With ten Academy Award nominations, it is a serious Oscar contender. (Movie) Host: Jamal Malik, you 're absolutely right!Jamal Malik is not knowledgeable. He just happens to know the answers to the specific questions he's been asked. Each question is somehow related to an event that has defined his life.With their mother dead, Jamal and his brother Salim begin to steal, trade and sleep wherever they can to survive.But the defining moment in Jamal's life is when an orphan girl named Latika tags along with them.Latika is taken by gangsters and Jamal will not rest until he sees her again.Years later, as a young adult, he finds her at a gangster's house. She is locked up, and her only pastime is the Indian TV show WhoNow listen to the second news report broadcasted on the day when Slumdog Millionaire finally earned 8 Oscars. After listening, match the awards with the corresponding names.Audioscript:Slumdog Millionaire was expected to win big. And, it did, earning Oscars for its cinematography, film editing, sound mixing, and bringing two of the golden statuettes to composer A. R. Rahman for his score and an original song.Steven Spielberg announced the top award of the evening."And, the Oscar goes to Slumdog Millionaire, Christian Colson, producer."The man behind the movie, Danny Boyle, was named best director.Slumdog Millionaire was a collaboration between the British filmmaker, an Indian cast and crew and a Hollywood distributor. Backstage, Boyle said joint efforts like this will become more common."You know, there's all sorts of people gonna work there. These things are gonna come together. The world's shrinking a bit in a ... in awonderful way and it will benefit from it because, in ... in culture, fusion is a wonderful thing."The film is set in the slums of Mumbai and features two professional actors with a cast of unknown youngsters from the Mumbai slums. Young cast members came to Hollywood for the Oscars.The story revolves around a teenager who hopes to win riches on a quiz show. Writer Simon Beaufoy, who won an Oscar for his adapted screenplay, says the story is appropriate in a recession."A film comes out that is ostensibly about being a millionaire, and actually what it's about is, it's a film that says there are more important things than money. There's love and faith and your family, and that struck a chord with people, I think, right now."Part III Karen Kain -- a Canadian ballerina The beautiful prima ballerina of the National Ballet of Canada, Karen Kain, was for five years the partner of Rudolph Nureyev and has danced most of the major classical ballet roles all over the world, since her debut in the demanding role of Odile/Odette inSwan Lake at the age of nineteen. She was born in Hamilton, Ontario, not far from Toronto, the home of the National Ballet of Canada. She and her husband now live in Cabbagetown, one of the oldest districts in central Toronto.In this section, you are going to hear an interview during which Karen Kain, a Canadian ballerina, talks about her work and how she first became interested in the ballet. While listening for the first time, add more key words in the left column. After the second listening, answer the questions.Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the interview and then do the multiple choice.Audioscript: Well, I actually saw Celia Franka dance, and now she founded the National Ballet of Canada. And she was dancing in my hometown -- Giselle, and I was taken for my birthday, and I saw her dance, (I) fell in love with it, and I started taking ballet lessons, and then at one point ... I think it was around ten ... my teacher said that I should audition for the National Ballet School, which is a full-time academic and ballet training facility here in Toronto. It's one of... I think it's the only one in North America. I mean, it's the same set-up as the ParisOpera, the Bolshoi, the Leningrad ... you know, that they have the school affiliated with the Company. And you take all your academic training as well as your dance training. So she told me that I should audition for that, and I did. And when I was eleven years old I went to the ballet school for seven years till I was eighteen, graduated from high school and I joined the National Ballet. Now you were married fairly recently, weren't you? It'll be three years next month, yes. Is touring and so forth hard on married life? I believe your husband's an actor, isn't he? Yes, he is. So you're probably both away quite a lot. We've been very fortunate. We've managed to stay together most of the time. The longest we were separated was when I was on tour with the National Ballet in Europe last spring, and I was gone for six weeks, and he was making a television series and he was in Australia for six weeks. So we have been separated a few times, but most of the time we manage to be together. We've just been very fortunate. Throughout the year ... how much time do you have off away from the dance? Very little. I'm trying to make sure that I get one week in June this year, because I have not had more than two days free since a year ago January. So I've been working very very hard, and I feel that I really need one week free, you know. Tom Boyd: How long can a ballerina go on before she should start thinkingof retiring? I hope that I have another ten years at the most to dance. Tom Boyd: What would you do after that? Would you leave the ballet completely or go into teaching, or choreography? I don't think choreography, I don't think I have any talent in ... you know ... I have no desire, no talent. I like to teach, I like to coach young dancers. I don't think I would leave the ballet world entirely, but I may try something else. You never know. I'm interested in other things and I have done some sorts of musical comedy work, and I've enjoyed it very much -- just to expand myself a little and to look around. And this Christmas again I'll be playing Cinderella in an English pantomime -- which is great fun for me. I really have fun and it's not serious dancing, you know, and I get to speak and act and everything. So I don't know. I would also like to have a family, so I have lots of things that I may do.Part IV More about the topic:Beethoven VBeethoven was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. His best known compositions include 9symphnies, 5 concertos for piano, 32 piano sonatas, and 16 string quartets. The Symphony No. 5 in C minor was written in 1804 - 1808. It is one of the most frequently played symphonies.Listen to the recording. Learn to appreciate Beethoven's Fifth Symphony with the speakers. While listening, complete the following outline.Audioscript: "" The most famous four-note sequence in music, instantly recognizable to us today as Beethoven's Fifth and full of associations. Fate knocking at the door. "V" for victory. But how must it have sounded to that original audience? Beethoven presented it as pure music. No clue to its significance or meaning. Well, Beethoven, as a personality, was so tricky and so uncouth in so many ways, and had such a difficult, troubled childhood, that the adult that gave us some of these pieces was a man so often at odds with the world around him. Born in poverty in the German town of Bonn, he was bullied as a child by his alcoholic father and in his 20s realized he was going deaf, surely the crudest of tragedies for a musician. But Beethoven was a man with a will of iron, and, in the Fifth, he harnesses the power of the orchestra to an insistentpropulsive rhythm, forcing the symphony to articulate the profoundest personal drama. Host: The story of a soul struggling against implacable fate and emerging incandescently victorious. One of the great contrasts available to a composer are the contrasts of darkness and lightness. And in his Fifth Symphony, builds up from hesitant darkness into the radiant blaze of optimism, confidence, whatever. Now he does this through the simplest of means. At the end of the third movement, which is the rather shadowy, dark scherzo, his plan is to burst us into the light without stopping. Now he does this by making the orchestra play as quietly as it can, all the strings just plucking very, very quietly. Then comes the heartbeat of the drum, very, very quiet and distant and the strings just moving up and down, uncertain about which way they're going to go. And then suddenly, very quickly, the whole orchestra comes in, and, without stopping, we burst into the final movement. This is in the major key. Lights full on, after lights hardly on at all. The symphony is a masterpiece of storytelling without words. When the French Revolution erupted, Beethoven was a teenager, struggling to support his family after the death of their mother, and the concept of individual liberty became a lifelong issue. And we, the listeners, are compelled to share his battle against fate. Although Beethoven wanted to write somethingthat was comprehensible at first hearing, he wasn't writing simply to give pleasure. He wanted it to be a potentially life-changing experience, music that would resonate in the mind long after the last note had sounded.Part V Do you know ...?What is a musical? According to one definition, it is a stage, television or film production utilizing popular-style songs and dialogue to either tell a story and/or showcase the talents of varied performers. Musicals are not just written -- they are collaborative creations that are put together piece by piece. Then what is the Broadway musical? When was it born?A Spot dictation. Listen to a passage about the birth of the Broadway musical. Fill in the blanks with the words you hear.Audioscript:Most scholars believe that The Black Crook in 1866 marked the beginning of the musical comedy, integrating music, dance and comedy, with an emphasis on beautiful women and spectacular scenery. But it was during World War One and after, that the musical developed as auniquely American idiom. Song-and-dance man George M. Cohan exploited Americans' sense of patriotism, moving away from European influences. In the 1920s. songwriters who include Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, brought the musical to maturity with their meticulous crafting of music and lyrics to create the American popular song.The modern musical was born in 1943 with Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma, which revolutionized the way dance, music and dialogue were used to develop the plot and characters. Other songwriters of the 1940s, 50s and 60s capitalized on that winning formula to write so many hit musicals, that that era is now referred to as "Broadway's Golden Age." Since then, American musicals have been translated and produced on stages all over the world. The music has become a mainstay among vocalists and jazz musicians, making clear the expression that the music of Broadway is truly "America's classic music."Foreigners call Americans Yankees. Southerners say that Yankees are Northerners. Northerners say that Yankees are from the New England states. People in New England say it is theVermonters who are Yankees. Vermonters reply that a Yankee is just someone who eats pie for breakfast. It seems that the origin of this term defies detection.B1 Listen to the passage. Focus on what the word "Yankee" refers to at different times. Supply the missing information. B2 Now listen to the passage again. Complete the summary.Our question this week asks about the song Yankee Doodle. To explain, we must go back more than 200 years. The American colonies had not yet won independence from England. The British used the word "Yankee" to describe colonists in the northeast part of America. That area was known as New England. After the War for Independence, the British used the word to mean all Americans. And during both World Wars American soldiers were known as Yankees or just Yanks.That was the song Yankee Doodle. History experts do not know exactly when it was written. Some research shows the date may have been during the 1750s. Many stories say a British army doctor wrote the song when England was fighting the French and the Indians in North America. There is little confirmation of these。

Orientalism ---- A Western study of Eastern Culture
Orientalism is a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the Middle East. It is an authoritative discourse based on dualism of opposites and essentialism. It expresses and represents European culture and material civilization culturally and even ideologically as a mode of discourse with supporting institutions vocabulary, scholarship, imagery, doctrines, even colonial bureaucracies and colonial styles..

贫民窟的百万富翁观后感英语
贫民窟的百万富翁观后感英语Title: Reflection on "Slumdog Millionaire""Slumdog Millionaire" is a captivating film that takes viewers on an emotional journey through the life of Jamal Malik, a young man from the slums of Mumbai. Directed by Danny Boyle and released in 2008, the film beautifully portrays the harsh realities of poverty and the indomitable human spirit. In this reflection, I will explore the key themes, character development, and the impact of the film.The story revolves around Jamal's participation in the Indian version of the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" As a slum dweller with a humble background, no one expects him to excel in the show. However, to everyone's astonishment, Jamal effortlessly answers question after question, inching closer to the grand prize. This unexpected success sparks the curiosity of the show's host and the police, who suspect Jamal of cheating.One of the main themes conveyed in "Slumdog Millionaire" is the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Through Jamal's unwavering determination, the film showcases how even someone from the most impoverished and oppressed background can rise above their circumstances to achieve greatness. Despite the challenges and heartbreaks he endures, Jamal never loses hope, making him a true inspiration. His journey acts as a reminder that success is not solely determined by one's social status but by one's will to never give up.The film also sheds light on the stark contrast between wealth and poverty. The slums of Mumbai, depicted in gritty detail, serve as a potentsymbol of the vast economic disparities within society. The directors skillfully portray the stark reality faced by those living in poverty, highlighting the lack of basic necessities and the constant struggle for survival. Through this lens, "Slumdog Millionaire" exposes the unjust systems and societal structures that perpetuate poverty on such a large scale.The characters in the film are beautifully developed, each with their own unique journeys and struggles. Jamal, played by Dev Patel, is a relatable protagonist who displays remarkable growth throughout the story. From his early years as a young boy surviving on the streets to his adult life, Patel convincingly captures the essence of Jamal's resilience and determination.Latika, portrayed by Freida Pinto, is another significant character in the film. As Jamal's love interest, her life mirrors his hardships, highlighting the challenges faced by women living in poverty. Latika's character showcases the strength and resilience of women who must navigate a daunting and often oppressive world. Her presence adds depth to the narrative and brings to light the importance of love and companionship in overcoming adversity.The film's cinematography also deserves commendation. The vibrant colors, juxtaposed with the gritty backdrop of the slums, create a visually striking contrast. The use of handheld camera techniques helps immerse viewers in the chaos and energy of the bustling streets of Mumbai. The combination of these visual elements adds richness and authenticity to the storytelling, enabling us to witness the harsh realities of slum life while still finding beauty and hope within it."Slumdog Millionaire" is a powerful film that leaves a lasting impact on its viewers. It forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths of poverty andinequality while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. It is a testament to the power of perseverance, love, and determination in the face of adversity.In conclusion, "Slumdog Millionaire" is a film that successfully explores the complexities of poverty, love, and human nature. Through its engaging storyline, compelling characters, and stunning cinematography, the film manages to captivate audiences and provoke thought. It serves as a reminder that our backgrounds do not define our potential for success, and that hope can flourish even in the most challenging circumstances. This film truly deserves its accolades and continues to resonate with audiences around the world.。

The film has captured the imagination of the public and critics alike, and is the clear front-runner for the forthcoming Bafta and Oscar awards. On Sunday evening it dominated the Golden Globes, triumphing in all four categories in which it was nominated, including best dramatic picture. Boyle and Beaufoy walked away with individual awards, as did A R Rahman, the celebrated Indian film composer who wrote its score.Here in Britain, Slumdog Millionaire opened brightly on Friday, accumulating a weekend gross of some £1.75 million. By last night, it was confidently expected to have overtaken all rivals to become the number one film at the UK box office.These are heady days, then, for this film, which is both likeable and, despite its Mumbai setting, very British (more of which later). In the current awards season, it clearly has what industry insiders like to call "momentum". But the influence of Slumdog Millionaire could be felt well beyond this year's Oscar ceremony. Indeed, I wonder whether, in coming years, we shall not regard it as the first emblematic film of the Barack Obama era.This is not merely because I think the US President-elect would like Slumdog Millionaire –though I am confident that he would. It is more that the film is such a radical contender for Oscars, and in ways that correspond to what appears to be Obama's world view.To recap briefly, Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal, a sweet-natured, uneducated teenage orphan from Mumbai's appalling slums who serves tea to call-centre workers. By a fluke, he becomes a contestant on the Hindi version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and, astonishingly, finds himself on the verge of winning a fortune. Suspected of cheating, he is brutally interrogated by police. But in recounting incidents in his eventful life, he shows how he knew the answers to the specific questions.The first striking thing about this British-made film is its even-handed, generous spirit of universality. It is set in India and it's about Indians. There is no hint of Merchant Ivory decorum, the predicaments of rich westerners far from home, nor any notion that Boyle and his team were engaged in a David Lean-style imperial adventure in what was once one of the pink regions on the globe. Refreshingly, there is also no white character to "explain" the story (which needs no explanation) to western audiences.Similarly, Slumdog Millionaire is faithful to the language of its characters. At least a third of it is spoken in Hindi; Boyle playfully placed his subtitles in different parts of the screen in various scenes, a tacit concession to American and British audiences traditionally deterred by them.It is also notable that Jamal is a Muslim. Screenwriter Beaufoy profoundly altered his source material, Indian author Vikas Swarup's agreeable, amusing novel Q&A. Swarup's hero was called Ram Mohammed Thomas, a name with Hindu, Muslim and Christian connotations, suggesting an Indian everyman. Beaufoy deliberately plumped for a specifically Muslim hero.Furthermore the film is decidedly 21st century in its portrayal of a teeming city. One of the mixed blessings of globalisation is the tendency of Third World populations to migrate from rural areas, thereby creating sprawling, unwieldy mega-cities, such as Mexico City, Sao Paulo,Nairobi and, of course, Mumbai.Boyle and Beaufoy show in detail the devastating social problems in such a place – pimps, prostitutes, men who exploit children as beggars, murderous race riots and organised crime – as well as its frenetic buzz, its juxtaposition of extreme wealth and poverty and, despite everything, its giddy sense of exhilaration. Most urban films don't come close to capturing the modern city in this way.Nor are they made as cheaply as this one. Boyle, who used hand-held cameras and a mostly local Indian crew, told me recently that Slumdog Millionaire cost a mere $5 million to shoot – a pittance in modern film terms. But then he was not burdened by expensive western stars. Anil Kapoor, who plays the quiz show presenter, is a bona fide Bollywood superstar and Irrfan Khan, the police interrogator, is a distinguished Indian actor. But neither commands vast fees. The entire cast is largely unknown to western audiences, and it has not hindered its success a jot.If that hints at a new way forward for the film industry in this credit-crunch era, so does the theme of Slumdog Millionaire. One of the delights of Beaufoy's script is a contradiction: the portrayal of a city obsessed with amassing wealth – the hustle, the deal, the next get-rich-quick scheme –with a romantic young man at its centre who cares nothing for money. Instead, the overwhelmingly important thing in his life is his love for Latika, a slum girl he has known since childhood. He loses her for years at a time, and finally finds her living as a wealthy gangster's girlfriend and pleads with her to run away with him. "What will we live on?" she asks anxiously, in the story's key exchange. "Love," he says, simply.And in that single word lie the key qualities of Slumdog Millionaire. It does not have an ironic moment. It is utterly devoid of cynicism. Instead, it is bright-eyed, optimistic – idealistic, even. To generations reared on a drip-feed of corrosive cynicism, the elevation of greed for greed's sake and weary disillusion with our leaders and our institutions it feels almost shocking. Yet maybe we're ready for it. We saw these laudable qualities in the hundreds of thousands of people (most of them young) who toiled to elect Obama. Those whose work limits them to poring over the minutiae of life in Washington's Beltway and the Westminster village have already been murmuring that this idealism looks like naïveté. Yet look where our defensive cynicism has landed us: maybe we do need to look at the world anew.Slumdog Millionaire holds out this promise, and the one inescapable truth about the film is that the people who see it love it. Its word-of- mouth reputation, the strongest, most positive of any film in memory, has grown gradually since it was first screened in September at the Toronto Film Festival, where it won the audience award.Since then, its US distributors Fox Searchlight (a Hollywood studio subsidiary headed by an astute Englishman, Peter Rice) have shrewdly released the film gradually in relatively few American cinemas, allowing word-of-mouth to burnish its stature. Happily, that process finally bore fruit this last memorable weekend, and will surely continue to do so. Let us not forget this is a British triumph. Film 4, the film-production wing of Channel 4, originally optioned Sharup's novel before publication, and hired Beaufoy to adapt it. When Boyle came on board, he urged Beaufoy to focus on the love story he had devised (which was absent from Sharup's book). Film 4 was able to develop and finance the film with Celador, the British company that created WhoWants to be a Millionaire?The film has had its setbacks. Its original US distributors, Warner Independent, sceptical about its commercial prospects, pulled out, but Rice's Fox Searchlight stepped into the breach.In many respects, Slumdog Millionaire could only be British. It is technically adept in a manner that still eludes India's Bollywood cinema; Boyle is at the top of his form. Its subject matter is too foreign and remote to have been initiated by Hollywood; we British are not quite so insular in our world-view. And would any US studio bigwig approve a film with a Muslim hero?Next week, millions of Americans – and no doubt hundreds of thousands of Britons – will cluster around television sets to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama, whose election victory is rooted in the notion that while the world may be troubled, complex, and even ugly, our best instincts can help make it better. Slumdog Millionaire – a truly remarkable film – is rooted in that same idealismHomework:Learn some useful expressions in the movie and make sentences。

And he should not have long hair.The woman I like most is someone who is slim and healthy. She should have long hair and big eyes. And I like girls who smile a lot. I believe everyone has something beautiful about them, regardless of age, race, gender, size, ability, etc. I don’t think being lighter or slimmer equals beauty. Instead, I think the inner self counts a lot more than outer appearance. Virtues such as honesty, hard-working, and willingness to help make one a beautiful person. / beauty iswhat we see and feel. So my idea of beauty is what is pleasing to the eyes. As long as it makes you feel good, it is beauty. So both inner qualities and body features are important factors to make one look beautiful. Of course, what one considers beautiful may not appear the same to someone else. That is why beauty standards are different from person to person, culture to culture and time to time.2.The ideas of beauty have changed over the past several decades in China. Truly, on the onehand, many still stick to the idea that one’s inner quality counts more than outer appearance.Honesty, hard-working, generosity, and kindness are considered inner beauty. On the other hand, more and more people think outer appearance is more important. Nowadays, manypeople, especially young people, hold some new ideas about beauty. For example, long straight black hair used to be thought as one feature of beauty, but now young people want to look stylish by having their hair curled and dyed. They follow the fashion tread and put fashionable clothes and wear make-up. More people are afraid of not looking attractive enough. So they go on diet to look thinner and receive some cosmetic surgeries to look better. Still many others realize that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to love their own body for its uniqueness.3.I don’t think it is wise to judge a person by his/her appearance because appearance issuperficial. Sometimes the appearance of a person may mislead your judgment when it doesn't match well with the inner part of that person. For example, an ordinary-looking person can be a scientist, a hero, or a great thinker. Just as the proverb goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.” The greatness of a book lies in its content instead of its cover. So it is witha person. Instead of focusing only on one’s appearance, we should get to know more aboutthat person’s education, life experiences and life attitude before we make any judgment.ViewingBefore you view1Reference answers1.It is a music festival2.It is held in the Isle of Wight every September.3.I think people can enjoy the music at the festival and have fun with their families and friends.While you viewScriptsV=Voice-over; W1=woman 1, etc.; M1=man 1, etc.V: All over the world, festivals bring people together. But why do people go? For the music? The food? The fun and games? We went to Bestival in the Isle f Wight, England to find out. But thefirst question is – where do we sleep?v e got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’v e got the key..M1: I…I’V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: it’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday.V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents,. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: people will respect each other and have…um…sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together. In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals?W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people. We make cakes; we do pop festivals; we’ll go anywhere, do anything.V: so, if there’s one answer to the question, why are you here? One thing that everyone talks about is this: being together.2AnswersThe reasons mentioned in the video clip are 2, 4 and 6.3Answers1.garden; baby and wife2.traditional values; likes3.being togetherafter you view4Reference answers1.bestival seems a fun festival. People, young and old, can gather together, enjoy themselves,and forget about their worries. I would like to go to a festival like Bestival because I like to be outdoors, listen to music, and do activities with other people. Most important of all, I enjoyspending time with my family and my friends, so a festival like Bestival is the right event tom a person who prefers to stay attend. / I do not like to go to a festival like Bestival because I’alone. I do love music, but I like listening to music alone.2.I like our University Music Festival best. It is a one-week festival held annually. It’s thecelebration of spring and one week unmatched by any other. There are singing competitions and concerts almost every evening. Students can also attend lectures on music and its production by famous professors. The most exciting thing is that at the weekend, famous bands will be invited to perform on campus. Every year, we can see different pop stars we like.That’s why the University Music Festival is appreciated by all of us and has become a festival that we all look forward to.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1W: OK… what do you feel like watching?M: Hmm.

Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. Thesecond most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, inthe survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their tip activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people.
