Television

We all like to watch television but Bruna is a TV addict.
Our favourite channel is TVI but we also watch SIC.

We like to watch soap operas, sports and films.

Our favourite cable TV channels are Disney and Discovery.

We watch TV every day, about twenty/thirty hours a week.

There are 4 or 5 TV sets in our homes and everybody in the class has a TV set in the bedroom.
Sometimes we watch TV with our families in the living room and talk about the programmes.
