Can we get the necessary vocabulary to describe a TV show please?? I found it really difficult to do the excersises because I lack vocabulary. Thanks for the wonderful video ❤️
For first topic: 1. I do not really like watch TV. I used to, but now I prefer watching RUclips or online streaming movie to TV. Because I can enjoy RUclips anytime I want, but you have to follow the schedule of the programme on TV. 2. Recently, I get really into a show called "Gossip Girl". I binge-watch a season 1 over a week. 3. Yes, because I feel curious what will be happen next episode. Just because the show was finished, so I can binge-watch for a week. 4. Yeah, I usually do that.
Nice! Thanks for your response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I don't really like to watch TV,' not, 'like watch TV'. 2) 'Recently, I've been really into a show called,' not, 'I get'. 3) '...I feel curious about what will happen in the next episode,' not, '...I feel curious what will be happen next episode'.

My favorite TV series is My brilliant friend. It can take a while for you to get into it. But its absolutely worth seeing. I binge-watched it over two days. Then I was desperately waiting for the second season to come out. This drama is edited from a novel written by Elena Ferrante, one of the most acclaimed Italian authors. It’s set in Napels, in the early post-war period. The story was about two girls’ life-long friendship who grew up in in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. The two girls’ life story is likewise the embodiment of a nation undergoing momentous change.

Great, Ly! Thank you for sharing your answers. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...at university, I don't even have a minute for myself...' not, '...at university, even I don't have a minute for myself...'. 2) Here, as you used these phrases, they are not adjectives but noun phrases: 'every day' and 'far away', not, 'everyday' and 'faraway'. 3) 'Yes, by doing it this way, I can...' or, 'Yes, this way, I can...' not, 'Yes, by this way, I can...'. Hope this helps you!
i dont watch tv everyday but i mainly watch it for MTV shows and for dance shows on weekends or else i watch everything online. i am a big fan of thriller and sci-fi but i watch a bit of everything except horror films. i rarely binge-watch these days because after two episodes i get tired of it and i want to do something else but there was a time when i would binge-watched three or four shows in a week, each show with more than 10 episodes. last show which i really got into was stranger things. i finished all four seansons within a week. it was awsome. it's about upside down world and horrific creatures that come from a door connecting real world with the upside down world. it was fun to watch it. i was on the edge of the seat all the time. i am eager to see what happens in the next season which is suppossed to be last season, i am not sure but i think it's coming out in 2024.
I have to describe a tv programme, but i don't know my answer is fine or not. May you give me some advices ? , thank you so much . My answer: I do often watch traditional television channels nowadays, it’s called ‘’ VTV News ‘’, which stands for ‘’ Vietnam Television ‘’. It’s a great place to watch the latest news about science, education, entertainment, news in life and abroad. The good thing about the ‘’ VTV News ‘’ is that i can watch them whenever I want because it has online site, so I tend to visit the website every few days to check whether there is anything new. I remember the first time i became interested in it when i studied at high school, my teacher let me know it . Not like other TV channels like Netflix , ‘’ VTV News ‘’ is usually free because it’s supported by advertising. Moreover, it has more news and current affairs programs. That’s why i love it.
Thanks, Ngoc, for sharing your response! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'I often watch a traditional television channel nowadays called...' not, 'I do often watch traditional television channels nowadays, it’s called...'. 2) '...and news locally and abroad,' not, '...news in life and abroad'. 3) '...watch it whenever I want because it has an online site...' not, '...watch them whenever I want because it has online site...'. Hope this helps you!
I really don’t have much time to watch TV at home. Because of my busy chores. But when I find sometimes , I love to watch American Got Talent, The show is pretty exciting and it’s help me to relax while listening especially the good singer’s who was joining the Show from different country. I also fun with Simon Cowell He is brilliant mentor and too direct . I like the way He speaks out loud with the talents, and When He really likes the voice of the singer He definitely hit the golden buzzer right away!
Thanks for sharing your response, Iyn! Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...to watch TV at home because of my busy chores,' not, '...to watch TV at home. Because...' 2) '...find some time,' not, 'sometimes'. 3) '...and it helps me..' not, 'it's help'. Hope this is useful for you!
Oxford Online English oh wow! You are really kind and very helpful. Thank you so much for your support and kindness. I keep watching your videos online since 2 days ago and I really loved your topic it’s really helps me a lot for my preparation of my IELTS examination. Thank you so much 😊
Oxford Online English Hi good morning teacher Kasia, Thank you so much for your kindly support and helping me out to get better on my writing tasks. I really appreciate that. I will keep watching your channel for sure as I do everyday for few hours and obcourse! I did subscribed already. Your channel is really amazing and it’s helps a lot of students especially on IELTS. 😍
To be honest, I don't really like any TV show. I just watch TV when I have a lot of free time. But, one week ago, I have been watching a series film, which is "A story of Dien Hi place". A storylines of the film are really interesting. Every episode ended with a cliffhanger that make me quite curious and watch it more. So I got addicted to it easily. However, sometimes I feel disappointed because some padding is added to fill time. Anyway, a film is great because it has many big name actors in it. One of them is Hua Khai, he is my idol and his acting skills is so good, he's very handsome too. I watched it on RUclips where's no fee, no ads and I can watch anytime. If you have time, you should take a look. Thanks for checking!
Thanks for watching and sharing! Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...one week ago I started watching a series...' or, '...I have been watching a series for one week...' not, '...one week ago, I have been watching a series...' 2) 'The storylines of the film are really interesting,' not, 'A storylines.' 3) 'Every episode ends with a cliffhanger that makes me...' not, '...Every episode ended with a cliffhanger that make...' Hope this helps you!
I usually watch news and shows on TV. The last show I watch is American's got talent. I don't have so much time to watch, so I put TV on in the background when I do housework. I sometimes binge-watch a show, but i more usually get into series of films on streaming services.
Thanks for sharing, Diana! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'The last show I watched was...' not, 'The last show I watch is...'. 2) '...so I put the TV on...' not, '...so I put TV on...'. 3) Always capitalize 'I' in a sentence. Hope this helps you!
One of the disadvantages of watching broadcast TV is that we need to follow the schedule of a program which I like. May be I am not available at that time.
1.No,I rarely watch TV.Because in these days,I'm really busy about lessons and some other kind of jobs. 2.Umm.....maybe is the Thailand show,called offgun night.They r really cute and very hilarious. 3.Yeah,I have ever binge-watched a show.I have watched a show till morning without sleeping. 4.I will honestly tell u that I don't do anything about housework.But I like to put the TV on the background while I'm eating breakfast or drawing.

Thank you for sharing your response about TV, Moonmoon. Here is one correction for you: 1) Are you talking about one specific time in the past, or is this a current habit? It might be better to say something like: 'I'm into Netflix Oscar movies and I binge-watch them,' or, 'In the past, I was into Netflix Oscar movies and I binge-watched them,' not, 'I got into Netflix oscar movies and I binge-watched'. Hope this is useful for you!
Q: Do you watch broadcast or streaming services which is better for you ? Why ? A: Mostly , I prefer broadcast Tv when I have a lot of free time. Here I can watch dramas and sports programs live. I like being able to watch what I want when I need. I think broadcast Tv gives you information regarding to every programme. I like having a choice of channels. Nevertheless, on streaming services; you bound yourself on one thing while watching. But when I’m running out of time and I get really into the show, I prefer watching streaming services. Streaming services don’t have any ads.
Excellent response, thank you for sharing! You wrote a fantastic response, nice job! Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...information about every programme,' not, '...information regarding to every programme'. 2) '...streaming services, you are bound to one thing while watching...' not, '....streaming services; you bound yourself on one thing while watching..'. 3) Capitalize 'TV'. Hope this is useful for you!
I love watching both crime and comedy series. Last month, I bingo-watched comedy series named "let's play". It was really funny at first but it went downhill from the episode 3. So I turned to a crime series named "The Army". It was a great series. It always has cliffhangers that made me unstoppable watching the next episode, though some unmeaning dialogues made me a little sleepy.
I have watched it. i know this lesson will still have me binge watch it for many times and the explanation in the quiz is very helpful too. Thanks alot for making this beautiful lesson. Wish the video could go longer. Well, it is still great n worth watching again n again! By the way, dear teachers i have a question that i need an answer of from you. The thing is... I do my job in shifts means i work continually for 24 hours ( from one morning to until the next morning) then i take 24 hours off for rest n it goes on like that.. I need to know what word in english language correctly tells about kind of work shift i have. I find it very bad when i cant tell anyone about how do i do my job. Please give me the answer. What word is there in English for such work shift?
Thank you for the kind comment, Sanjay. Regarding your question, you could say something like: 'I work in 24-hour shifts' or 'I work every other 24 hours'.
I like streaming services because it allows you to watch many shows from different countries and different languages.Also,it provides you many informations from other cultures you can't find in broadcast TV.Thanks for your help.
Very nice, Jelliti! A few things to think about for your writing: 1) 'a lot of information,' not, 'many informations'. 2) '...can't find on broadcast TV,' not, 'in'. Hope that helps and thanks for sharing!
thank you very much sir. the lesson is very important and useful for us ..I went to texting Elts test and I have one month to prepare to test .Is the time enough or not 👏👏
Hey Nawara, I'm a native speaker and just a tip: 'sir' is only for men, so if you're talking to the woman in the video, you don't want to use sir. Good luck on the IELTS 👍

Last time I watched an Urdu drama named “Pyare Afzal”. It was kind of love story of rich girl and poor boy. It aired on Pakistan local TV channel on every Sunday night. I liked the way the story is composed and its cinematography. It felt a bit said because the boy dies right at the moment when his beloved accepts him. Overall, dialogues and emotions looked much realistic and I enjoyed a lot. Find errors please, Thanks for great lecture Edit: It wrote it in informal way because it was speaking task.
Thank you for sharing, Aakash. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'It was a kind of love story...' not, 'It was kind of love story'. 2) '...story of a rich girl and...' not, '...story of rich girl and...'. 3) 'It aired on a Pakistan local TV channel every Sunday night,' not, 'It aired on Pakistan local TV channel on every Sunday night'. Hope this helps you!
I was watching a sci-fiction Series called Altered Carbon, It's about a killer who is trying to solve a magnate's murder, the background of the series is in the future around 2050, I'm not pretty sure about the year, there, mankind doesn't die, because they have a small object such as a battery in their brain, this copy all memories and when the person dies, the battery is removed and put in another body. It doesn’t have any big name of actors in it, but the first season its quite original. Every episode finished with a cliffhanger, and they have to solve a lot of plot threads. Unfortunately, the second season went downhill, I mean some storylines made no sense, and there was a lot of paddings. Well, something good is that the new main character is a famous actor, I don't know his name, bust he acted in Avengers ’Saga as a Falcon character. This Serie is available on different streaming services like Netflix. Thanks, I wait your comments.
Hi there, thanks for sharing! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) It's not necessary to capitalize common nouns like 'series'. 2) '...called Altered Carbon. It's about...' not, '...called Altered Carbon, It's about...'. 3) '...around 2050, I'm not very sure about the year. There...' not, '...around 2050, I'm not pretty sure about the year, there...'. Hope this helps you!
I'm watching an intellectual game show called Who to choose. In the show, an MC will give questions ab general knowledges like how many teeth an adult have or who has the biggest nose in the world, st like that. There are many big-name actors, singers work as host of the show and they will give answers for players. The players have two options: believe or not believe. Who gets more exact choices will win. I think it's kind of original, and it makes me funny and provides me with more understandings. I watch it on YT streaming, but you can also watch it on broadcast TV
Wow! It is amazing! You distribute a beautiful video again! Actually, we enjoy a lot from these grandiose videos! We improve via your videos! Thanks for everything, "Oxford Online English" family!
To be honest, I don't watch much tv even though at some times I put something in the background while I am cleaning I watch Tv on Netflix since there is a vast variety of different choices of programs. I am watching a magical story called " Merlin". It's about a boy who destroys evil with his great magical powers. Although there are no Bollywood stars. It is believable and adventurous. I love the main character beet since he is hilarious. Also, I adore hearing regal music. It's funny at first, but it goes downhill from episode 3. That is the best show I ever watched.
Excellent response Thuresh. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...put something on in the background,' not, 'put something in the background.' 2) '...powers, although there are no...' not, '...powers. Although there are no...' 3) 'This is the best show I've ever watched,' not, 'I.' Hope this helps you!

@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 in that sense, is not each movie original, when they are released except when their sequels, prequels, or spin-offs are released?
At 0:45 Kasia answers to the question Do you watch TV? HOW and Where? For me, more logical question is WHAT and where? Please could you tell me, HOW and WHAT are they equal in these questions? Ok the question is not actual because later I saw that she spoke about watching TV habits. But anyway the question sounds a bit unusually.
Hi, I mean that is a normally question in small talk. It's okay, But you mean, they are looking in the binoculars and the asking is not so exactly. Different ways in different countries. In Germany we also say, " Do you watch TV". Bye.
@@JK-bj4ni sorry. But i see we have small misunderstanding. If somebody asks me how do you watch TV, it will be weird question. Of course I watch TV with my eyes.
Good question, Arman! When we say 'how', that means in what way do you watch TV shows. Do you use a television, your mobile phone, a laptop, etc.? It can also refer to the platform you use to watch TV shows. For example, cable, satellite, or other TV apps available. If we say 'what' we watch, that means the specific shows. Hope this helps!
Hi Helen, a 'medical drama' is a drama (serious type of show) that is based on what happens in a hospital with doctors, nurses, etc. Hope this helps you!

How much TV do you watch?
- In the past, I watched TV everyday, especially when I had spare time. But now, due to the busy schedule at university, even I don't have a minute for myself, watching TV is faraway
What is the last show you got into?
- Let me think about the show that I followed the last time. It's a educational series named: "IELTS Face-off" where the guests are invited to share their experiences in using English as their means of communication. Only one word is accurate for the description of this show: "Inspirational!!"
Have you ever binge-watched a show?
- Yes, totally yes. When I was a child, I adored anime-series from Japan, particularly "Naruto". I can't remember how many times I pictured myself as a character in Naruto to own and summon a divine animal for attacking opponents :). I watched it continuously and tirelessly, totally stuck into this movie.
Do you like to put TV on in the background when you are doing housework?
-Yes, by this way, I can save a lot of time by simultaneously doing 2 things, collecting the news from TV and my chores will be done :)
(I don't know whether I made any grammar mistake or not, please let me know ^^~)

i dont watch tv everyday but i mainly watch it for MTV shows and for dance shows on weekends or else i watch everything online. i am a big fan of thriller and sci-fi but i watch a bit of everything except horror films. i rarely binge-watch these days because after two episodes i get tired of it and i want to do something else but there was a time when i would binge-watched three or four shows in a week, each show with more than 10 episodes. last show which i really got into was stranger things. i finished all four seansons within a week. it was awsome. it's about upside down world and horrific creatures that come from a door connecting real world with the upside down world. it was fun to watch it. i was on the edge of the seat all the time. i am eager to see what happens in the next season which is suppossed to be last season, i am not sure but i think it's coming out in 2024.
I have to describe a tv programme, but i don't know my answer is fine or not. May you give me some advices ? , thank you so much .
My answer: I do often watch traditional television channels nowadays, it’s called ‘’ VTV News ‘’, which stands for ‘’ Vietnam Television ‘’. It’s a great place to watch the latest news about science, education, entertainment, news in life and abroad. The good thing about the ‘’ VTV News ‘’ is that i can watch them whenever I want because it has online site, so I tend to visit the website every few days to check whether there is anything new. I remember the first time i became interested in it when i studied at high school, my teacher let me know it . Not like other TV channels like Netflix , ‘’ VTV News ‘’ is usually free because it’s supported by advertising. Moreover, it has more news and current affairs programs. That’s why i love it.
Thanks, Ngoc, for sharing your response! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'I often watch a traditional television channel nowadays called...' not, 'I do often watch traditional television channels nowadays, it’s called...'.
2) '...and news locally and abroad,' not, '...news in life and abroad'.
3) '...watch it whenever I want because it has an online site...' not, '...watch them whenever I want because it has online site...'.
Hope this helps you!

I really don’t have much time to watch TV at home. Because of my busy chores. But when I find sometimes , I love to watch American Got Talent, The show is pretty exciting and it’s help me to relax while listening especially the good singer’s who was joining the Show from different country. I also fun with Simon Cowell He is brilliant mentor and too direct .
I like the way He speaks out loud with the talents, and When He really likes the voice of the singer He definitely hit the golden buzzer right away!
Thanks for sharing your response, Iyn! Here are some corrections for you:

this is a good video.as i think a good topic too.
i think you will put some other good videos too.
and good luck oxford online English!
I like your all video 👌
To be honest, I don't really like any TV show. I just watch TV when I have a lot of free time. But, one week ago, I have been watching a series film, which is "A story of Dien Hi place". A storylines of the film are really interesting. Every episode ended with a cliffhanger that make me quite curious and watch it more. So I got addicted to it easily. However, sometimes I feel disappointed because some padding is added to fill time. Anyway, a film is great because it has many big name actors in it. One of them is Hua Khai, he is my idol and his acting skills is so good, he's very handsome too. I watched it on RUclips where's no fee, no ads and I can watch anytime. If you have time, you should take a look.
Thanks for checking!
Thanks for watching and sharing! Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...one week ago I started watching a series...' or, '...I have been watching a series for one week...' not, '...one week ago, I have been watching a series...'

You're welcome, Hele! So glad you enjoyed the lesson!
I usually watch news and shows on TV. The last show I watch is American's got talent. I don't have so much time to watch, so I put TV on in the background when I do housework. I sometimes binge-watch a show, but i more usually get into series of films on streaming services.
Thanks for sharing, Diana! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'The last show I watched was...' not, 'The last show I watch is...'.
2) '...so I put the TV on...' not, '...so I put TV on...'.
3) Always capitalize 'I' in a sentence.
Hope this helps you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 you're very thoughtful team :)

One of the disadvantages of watching broadcast TV is that we need to follow the schedule of a program which I like. May be I am not available at that time.

i 'd like to watch sci-fi shows and films because it's informative and thought provoking as you are able to learn a great deal of information about it.i have been watching a TV series which is related to the finding a life in solar system.actually i am bengewatching that because i've seen in epispod just in one day,there are a lot of padding there but i continue watching.however, i think i will stop seeing it because there are many cliffhanger and lots of plots threads to resolve.

Go through phases
Binge-watch, take a break
Pu sth on in the background
Broadcast tv / streaming services
I go through phases.I got into Netflix oscar movies and I binge-watched.I like to put music on in the background when I am doing my household chores.
Thank you for sharing your response about TV, Moonmoon. Here is one correction for you:
1) Are you talking about one specific time in the past, or is this a current habit? It might be better to say something like: 'I'm into Netflix Oscar movies and I binge-watch them,' or, 'In the past, I was into Netflix Oscar movies and I binge-watched them,' not, 'I got into Netflix oscar movies and I binge-watched'.
Hope this is useful for you!
Q: Do you watch broadcast or streaming services which is better for you ? Why ? A: Mostly , I prefer broadcast Tv when I have a lot of free time. Here I can watch dramas and sports programs live. I like being able to watch what I want when I need. I think broadcast Tv gives you information regarding to every programme. I like having a choice of channels. Nevertheless, on streaming services; you bound yourself on one thing while watching. But when I’m running out of time and I get really into the show, I prefer watching streaming services. Streaming services don’t have any ads.
Excellent response, thank you for sharing! You wrote a fantastic response, nice job! Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...information about every programme,' not, '...information regarding to every programme'.
2) '...streaming services, you are bound to one thing while watching...' not, '....streaming services; you bound yourself on one thing while watching..'.
3) Capitalize 'TV'.
Hope this is useful for you!
I like watching movies and series for learning English.
I love watching both crime and comedy series. Last month, I bingo-watched comedy series named "let's play". It was really funny at first but it went downhill from the episode 3. So I turned to a crime series named "The Army". It was a great series. It always has cliffhangers that made me unstoppable watching the next episode, though some unmeaning dialogues made me a little sleepy.

I always put your videos in the background.
Nice, Jeff!

Thanks for the video! It was really exciting and catchy! I've learned a lot! Good luck in the future!
another awesome lesson as always, thank you .
such a great lesson!
I have watched it. i know this lesson will still have me binge watch it for many times and the explanation in the quiz is very helpful too. Thanks alot for making this beautiful lesson. Wish the video could go longer. Well, it is still great n worth watching again n again! By the way, dear teachers i have a question that i need an answer of from you. The thing is...
I do my job in shifts means i work continually for 24 hours ( from one morning to until the next morning) then i take 24 hours off for rest n it goes on like that..
I need to know what word in english language correctly tells about kind of work shift i have. I find it very bad when i cant tell anyone about how do i do my job. Please give me the answer. What word is there in English for such work shift?
Thank you for the kind comment, Sanjay. Regarding your question, you could say something like: 'I work in 24-hour shifts' or 'I work every other 24 hours'.
I like streaming services because it allows you to watch many shows from different countries and different languages.Also,it provides you many informations from other cultures you can't find in broadcast TV.Thanks for your help.
Tomorow,I will attend a trainning session in teaching english in primary shools.Wish me luck.
Very nice, Jelliti! A few things to think about for your writing:
1) 'a lot of information,' not, 'many informations'.
2) '...can't find on broadcast TV,' not, 'in'.
Hope that helps and thanks for sharing!
Well done 🙏👏👏
Thanks for watching, Ismail!

Last time I watched an Urdu drama named “Pyare Afzal”. It was kind of love story of rich girl and poor boy. It aired on Pakistan local TV channel on every Sunday night. I liked the way the story is composed and its cinematography. It felt a bit said because the boy dies right at the moment when his beloved accepts him. Overall, dialogues and emotions looked much realistic and I enjoyed a lot.
Find errors please, Thanks for great lecture
Edit: It wrote it in informal way because it was speaking task.
Thank you for sharing, Aakash. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'It was a kind of love story...' not, 'It was kind of love story'.
2) '...story of a rich girl and...' not, '...story of rich girl and...'.
3) 'It aired on a Pakistan local TV channel every Sunday night,' not, 'It aired on Pakistan local TV channel on every Sunday night'.
Hope this helps you!
I was watching a sci-fiction Series called Altered Carbon, It's about a killer who is trying to solve a magnate's murder, the background of the series is in the future around 2050, I'm not pretty sure about the year, there, mankind doesn't die, because they have a small object such as a battery in their brain, this copy all memories and when the person dies, the battery is removed and put in another body. It doesn’t have any big name of actors in it, but the first season its quite original. Every episode finished with a cliffhanger, and they have to solve a lot of plot threads.
Unfortunately, the second season went downhill, I mean some storylines made no sense, and there was a lot of paddings. Well, something good is that the new main character is a famous actor, I don't know his name, bust he acted in Avengers ’Saga as a Falcon character. This Serie is available on different streaming services like Netflix.
Thanks, I wait your comments.
Hi there, thanks for sharing! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) It's not necessary to capitalize common nouns like 'series'.
2) '...called Altered Carbon. It's about...' not, '...called Altered Carbon, It's about...'.
3) '...around 2050, I'm not very sure about the year. There...' not, '...around 2050, I'm not pretty sure about the year, there...'.
Hope this helps you!
Thanks so much for your suggestions
Hello good morning my intarrest you tv english video thak you
I'm watching an intellectual game show called Who to choose. In the show, an MC will give questions ab general knowledges like how many teeth an adult have or who has the biggest nose in the world, st like that. There are many big-name actors, singers work as host of the show and they will give answers for players. The players have two options: believe or not believe. Who gets more exact choices will win. I think it's kind of original, and it makes me funny and provides me with more understandings. I watch it on YT streaming, but you can also watch it on broadcast TV
Very helpful and informative video. Keep up the good work👍🏻

To be honest, I don't watch much tv even though at some times I put something in the background while I am cleaning
I watch Tv on Netflix since there is a vast variety of different choices of programs.
I am watching a magical story called " Merlin". It's about a boy who destroys evil with his great magical powers. Although there are no Bollywood stars. It is believable and adventurous. I love the main character beet since he is hilarious. Also, I adore hearing regal music. It's funny at first, but it goes downhill from episode 3. That is the best show I ever watched.
Excellent response Thuresh. Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...put something on in the background,' not, 'put something in the background.'
2) '...powers, although there are no...' not, '...powers. Although there are no...'

When India vs Pakistan were going on if advertising comes I changed the channel and watched the programme until start the Indiavs pakistan match.while match was going on in TV if there was no current I would have abused him who were turned off the current.when I was in school if match was going on I waited for interval when interval bell was ringing as soon as I went to TV shop and watched cricket match. If I was in home my father always abused him because I always watched cricket match in TV. Whenever I joined in job even since I forgot TV. I am living in bechlor room with my friends who were studying with me.i thought I wish I had TV in my room I know that it's not a possible . If I want to watch cricket match and movies I watch that by Wi-Fi which was we kept an one year ago.
Nice response! Here are a few suggestions for you:

what about foreshadowing ?
'Original' means that the movie has not been made before. 'Foreshadowing' means that there are hints of what is to come later in the story.
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 in that sense, is not each movie original, when they are released except when their sequels, prequels, or spin-offs are released?
Wao
Broszka!! :)
gdzie?! :P
At 0:45 Kasia answers to the question Do you watch TV? HOW and Where? For me, more logical question is WHAT and where? Please could you tell me, HOW and WHAT are they equal in these questions? Ok the question is not actual because later I saw that she spoke about watching TV habits. But anyway the question sounds a bit unusually.
Hi, I mean that is a normally question in small talk. It's okay, But you mean, they are looking in the binoculars and the asking is not so exactly. Different ways in different countries. In Germany we also say, " Do you watch TV". Bye.
@@JK-bj4ni sorry. But i see we have small misunderstanding. If somebody asks me how do you watch TV, it will be weird question. Of course I watch TV with my eyes.
Good question, Arman! When we say 'how', that means in what way do you watch TV shows. Do you use a television, your mobile phone, a laptop, etc.? It can also refer to the platform you use to watch TV shows. For example, cable, satellite, or other TV apps available. If we say 'what' we watch, that means the specific shows. Hope this helps!
