Dialogue1
Faith: What are you watching on the telly?
Henry: There's a great sitcom on Channel 3 that starts
in about 3 minutes. F: Which one is that?
H: The Office. Have you watched it?
F: I've seen the British version and loved it,
but have never seen the American version.
H: It's almost exactly the same. I think it's a hilarious show.
F: what are you watcfullg now?
H: They're just showing highlights of American
Idol from last night right now.
F: I can't stand American Idol! I think it's really over-rated.
H: I couldn't agree with you more.
F: Have you got satellite, cable, or digital TV?
H: We have digital TV. It's amazing though-even with 100 channels,
there's often nothing on that I'd want to watch!
F: Do you watch a lot of TV then?
H: I guess so. I'm a bit of a couch potato. How about you?
F: I don't have a TV at home, so I rarely watch anything.
Is there anything worth watching after The Office?
H: There's actually a documentary on the history channel later on
that I'd like to watch. Do you want to stay and watch it with me?
F: Why not. I don't have anything better to do!

Dialogue 2
H: Why did you turn the television off?
F : The amount of commercials on TV is unbearable sometimes!
H: There are a few channels that are commercial free.
Do you ever watch those?
F: Yes, I do. I find their shows to be quite educational-and
they don't often show repeats. Do you ever watch those channels?
H: Very rarely. Their shows aren't very interesting, to be honest.
F: Do you want to tum the TV back on?
H: I would, but I don't have the remote control.
Do you have it?
F: No. I don't know what happened to it.
H: I guess I'll get up to tum it back on.
Remote controls really make us lazy, don't they?
F: They really have, but you can't buy a television today without one.
H: That's so true.
F: I know what we could watch.
There's a new reality show in which the contestants have to
build a house.
H: Is that the one with the presenter who used to interview
celebrities on the entertain- ment channel?
F: Yep, that's it.
H: Well, let's give it a go. He's a pretty funny presenter.
F: Alright. I'll just change the channel then.
