        Many people think that TV programs have little or no educational value (教育意义). It is true that lots of programs are meaningless. However, some programs are good and we learn many things from them. Here are few of my favorite programs.

    Blue Peter

    As a child, this was the only program I could watch. I watched it three times a week. You can learn about different countries around the world from it. As the show is for children, the language in it is easy.

    The Great British Bake Off

    This show is about making bread, cakes and so on. The show wants to find Britain's' best amateur baker (业余烘焙师). You can watch the show o get some ideas of new things to try baking and you can always find the recipes online.

    Frozen Planet

    This one is about life in cold places. There are many special animals in this show. I love this show not because of the cute animals, but because it teaches us about the impact we have on these animals and what we need to do to save them.

    Pointless

    This show is great for thinking. It is a quiz (知竞赛) show. It may be about sports, weather, movies and on. I learned lots of things from this show.

        Three students are giving their opinions about what a good friend should be like.

    Cindy

    I think a good friend should be honest (诚实的). That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a real friendship starts. If a person isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust.

    I think a good friend has to be generous (慷慨的). Here being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends money or clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way.
