　　Cycling is a great way to get around, especially for short trips.

　　bike-friendly, with excellent road conditions and bike lanes

　　Cycling could be dangerous in some parts of the city, where the traffic is heavy and often messy.

　　So, cyclists have to watch out and stay alert all the time.

　　In China, bikes are mainly used as a means of transport. Not many people ride the bike as a sport.

　　Sometimes, riding a bike is considered to be a symbol of having no money.

　　I think the government should encourage people to bike more instead of driving anywhere, for the sake of their health and also the environment.

　　TV guide

　　the most important form of home entertainment

　　I just watch TV once in a while now. I spend more time on the computer and Internet.

　　From Monday to Friday, I watch very little TV, but on the weekend or during holidays, I’m a bit of a couch potato.

　　Well, actually, I’ve got no particular preference for TV shows. I just flick through the channels and watch anything that attracts me.

　　What I like most is entertainment shows, cos they’re really entertaining. You know, after a hard day at work/school, a good laugh is exactly what I need to relax.

　　One of my favorites is an entertainment show called Happy Camp, which is one of the best-liked shows among young people. Most of my friends are loyal viewer of the show.

　　One big attraction of the show is the hosts and hostesses. They’re young, smart, cool, stylish, and amusing.

　　Every time, they invite a celebrity in the showbiz to share their success stories with the audience and also give a live performance.

　　There’s applause and laughter all through the show. I just love the atmosphere.

　　Some TV shows are educational and entertaining, no doubt about it, but on the other hand, watching too much TV makes one lazy both physically and mentally, cos TV is passive pleasure.

　　Watching TV is fun, but on the other hand, it can be totally time-consuming.  

　　Advertisements  l  advertise 

　　advertising

　　advertiser

　　place/put an advert/ad

　　commercials

　　non-profitable advertisements

　　commercial break

　　prime time

　　advertising revenues

　　do adverts for big companies

　　pay big stars to endorse their products

　　commercials tend to exaggerate and mislead the consumers

　　Commercials are important cos this is a commercial society.

　　Commercials serve as a bridge connecting consumers and manufacturers.

　　But on the other hand, they could be really annoying cos they always show up at the time you least want them to. 

　　deceptive advertisements

　　Some adverts are just an insult to my intelligence.

　　be conned into buying fake products

　　I don’t trust what they say in adverts.

　　I just believe my own eyes and judgment.

　　And I trust name brands.

　　Name brands cannot afford to sell fake products.

　　TV adverts are just like mini-films, so they are more attractive and impressive.

　　Some advertisements are classic and great works of art.  

　　I love advertisements that don’t exaggerate but really give you a strong visual impact and pleasure, and have very catchy advertising words.
