№1. Прочитайте текст и отметьте, какие утверждения после него соответствуют содержанию (Т), какие — нет (F), а о чём в тексте не упоминается (NS). What Do You Think of Television
Television is an important kind of mass media for me. I spend a lot of time before the TV screen and usually watch different programmes: sports programmes, the news, quiz shows. On the other hand, there are some programmes, which are not exactly to my liking. I rarely watch those that are shown in the morning. They are usually about health problems, markets, property bought and sold. I don’t like shows about cooking either. I’m more interested in eating food than in cooking it. Besides those who cook always say that the result is perfect, but there are no real experts in the studio to prove it. So how can you be sure that the dish is tasty?
I would like to say that there are some similar programmes on British and Russian TV. In Russia you can also watch some advertisements bought abroad. Then there are quiz shows like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”. In fact, they are practically the same. And it is not surprising Britain sells such programmes to foreign TV companies. It’s possible to watch such shows in America and Australia too.
