Televisione - Frasario - Trascrizione
Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting English on how to talk about TV programmes.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be listening to some useful phrases you’ll then hear a short explanation of these words, followed by an example of how they are used.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to two people watching television.
So let’s start!
Woman: What programmes do you like watching on TV?
Man: This phrase is what you ask if you want to know about someone’s TV habits.
Now listen to an example of this phrase:
Woman: What programmes do you like watching on TV?
Man: I like quiz shows and chat shows especially ones on sport.
Woman: I’m hooked on “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Man: To be hooked on something, means that you enjoy something very much, so that you want to do it, see it etc as much as possible.
For example:
Woman: Ssh! I’m trying to watch “Grey’s Anatomy,” it’s the last episode of the season.
Man: Isn’t that just another silly hospital drama Programme?
Woman: No, it’s not, it’s excellent! And I’m hooked on it, so please be quiet.
Man: Okay.
Woman: What’s on tonight?
Man: When we want to know what programmes are on TV, we say “What’s on?”
Listen to this short conversation:
Woman: What’s on tonight?
Man: Well there’s football on channel 1, there’s athletics on 2, and rugby on channel 7.
Woman: Is there anything on, other than sport?
Man: Yes, there’s a good film on channel 5.
Woman: Which channel is it on?
Man: A channel is a TV station. So to find out which station a programme is being broadcasted from we say “Which channel is it on?”
For example:
Woman: Which channel is the news on?
Man: Channel 6. Do you want to watch it?
Woman: Yes, please.
Woman: Now you will listen to a conversation between two people watching television.
Woman: Stop changing the channels, you are hooked on football, I don’t know how you can watch so many games at the same time, and your team isn’t even playing.
Man: I know, but there’s nothing else on.
Woman: Well what is on tonight? I can help you decide.
Man: What programmes do you like watching? Other than silly reality TV programmes of course.
Woman: I like most things. Where’s the TV guide?
Man: Here you are.
Woman: Well, other than sport, there’s a nature programme, a DIY show and a chat show interviewing Sean Connery.
Man: Let’s watch the chat show then, Sean Connery is always interesting. Which channel is it on?
Woman: Channel 8, it starts in 5 minutes. I’ll make us a coffee if you like.
Man: Yes, please.
Woman: If you wish you can hear this lesson again. In the meantime we hope we have helped you to be more confident with your English. Watch out for the next topic. Thank you for using the EnglishBlog.
