Model answer:
I'd like to talk about a TV programme I enjoy
watching called Chat Chat.
It's a popular talk show and the guests are usually
famous actors or singers. For example, two Oscar
winners were on the show lat week.
Firstly, my favourite parts are the presenter
and the music. The presenter is very funny and
very good at is job. A good example of this is
when he interviews guests. He is very kind and
patient, so he can ask difficult questions and get
honest answers. There is always a music part at
the end of the show. A singer or group sing a song.
I usually watch this show on Saturday afternoons
when I'm at my cousin's house. We love watching
this show and we eat some snacks and just relax.
Finally, I enjoy watching this programme because
it is funny, interesting and relaxing. I forget about
my studies and my problems, and I enjoy learning
about these famous people.
