I. TV Program

在历年的考试中，TV program的出现率非常高，它的考法有：Describe a TV program/ performance (like/dislike), quiz show. 在这个题目中，很多同学会错误的把电影，电视剧之类的作为题材来说，其实是不对的，该题目期待考生给的答案是电视节目，例如像

talk show, entertainment show, animal world之类的电视节目，另外有些同学不知道quiz show的意思，其实quiz show也是电视节目的一种，知识竞答类的节目，例如曾经比较火的一个节目《开心辞典》。那么我们应该如何来描述电视节目呢？首先我们从题目看起，该考题的原题如下：

Describe a TV program/ performance (like/dislike)

You should say:

what was name of the program

when did you watch it

what did it talk about

and explain why you like/dislike this program.

在对电视节目进行描述时，我们首先要定位一档节目，然后介绍一下是在什么时间，哪个频道看到的，并且可以说明一下节目的类别以及观众类型，接下来对主持人可以稍做描述，侧重说明主持人的主持风格，并重点介绍节目的内容，如果想要文章说的生动，可以特别描述一期让自己印象最深刻的节目，包括节目涉及到的嘉宾以及节目中谈到的话题，最后总结说明自己为什么喜欢或者不喜欢该档节目。

该题目的范文如下，考生们可以做参考。

I like watching TV. “Happy Dictionary”, a quiz show, is my favorite. For one thing, I a m impressed by its host “Wang Xiao Ya”. She is beautiful and incredible. In the program, the participants are introduced at first. Then they will be asked a question, the person who can answer correctly and quickly will have a chance to take the quiz. The host will ask the participant 12 questions. When you answered 3 questions and they’re all right. You have one prize. But if there is one wrong answer, the participant can’t have the prize. The prizes are decided by participants. For example, a fridge, computer, digital video camera, laptop, a free package holiday, and so on. The way the host asks the questions make them more difficult. The participants can get help from others for answering the questions but only three ways. If you have used one then you cannot use it again. The three ways are calling a friend by phone, asking the audience and letting the computer erase one of the wrong answers. I like this program

because it can enhance my general knowledge. I love “Happy Dictionary”.

II. Advertisement

广告类的题目，有一点是各位考生要注意的，就是在考场里，考官一般都要求考生描述一个商业性质的广告，而不是公益广告，原题如下：

Describe an advertisement

You should say:

what product or service is advertised

what the advertisement showed

why you remember this advertisement in particular

and explain whether you think the advertisement is effective

广告在我们的生活中是随处可见的，看电视时，可以看到一些视频广告，听广播时，也能听到一些音频广告，报纸杂志上皆是各种图片和文字广告，甚至当我们在街上行走时也能看到很多广告牌。广告很多，但我们在考试过程中一定要选一个自己特别熟悉的广告，如果这是一个非常有创意的广告，那就更完美了。众所周知，广告一般是为特定的产品或者服务做宣传的，我们在考试中，首先要点出该广告宣传的产品或者服务，然后重点描述广告内容，在最后可以点一下该广告带来的广告效应，这样，就更加有说服力了。

例文如下：

Well, today I'm going to talk about an advertisement of perfume. The perfume is the only one perfume which with time flying but also gives out new fascination.

I think everyone have heard about it. What is it? It’s CHANEL N°5. It mixed luxurious and elegance, with courageous and spirit of breaking tradition.

At the passageway of train, a young lady was immersed in thinking with the voice of train, and exhaling a sexy and attractive perfume. A young man passed by, then he couldn't stop himself loving her sweet smell. When the train arrived at the destination, she wanted to find him with deep and ungovernable longings. In the noisy city with different kinds of smell, they missed each other. Finally, he found her when he just wants to give up. At the end of this advertisement, a shining double "C" appeared.
