J: not really. Quite boring right now, actually. Mostly infomercials and public serveice announcements.

K: why don’t you turn off the TV and get outside? You need to get some fresh air.

J: I know, I know.But my favorite show is on in a couple of minutes. It’s the series finals, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world!

K: Really? What’s the series about?

J: well, it’s about how an immigrant girl achieve her dream in America. It’s a sitcom but really quite smart and really funny. I think you’d like it.

K: it sounds interesting, but I am not a big fan of TV shows. They’re time consuming and don’t have much depth.

J: I believe some shows are quite informative and interesting. Take this show for example, it examines American xenophobia and how it might conflict with

the American dream, with hilarious results.

K: really? that’s interesting!

J: yeah.Oh, here it comes! why don’t we watch it together? they are going to have a court debate in this episode. It should be good.

K: OK, I’ll give it a go.
