Activity by Serena

A-The other day I ____ the new Christmas ad about the Man on the Moon.

B-Yeah! It's sad and emotional, isn't it?

A- Can't you stop _________ the remote control just for once? I mean, anybody would think you're the only person here that wants to watch TV!

B- Oh come on! I want to watch the finals. Rafa Nadal is just about to win the tournament.

A- What are you so upset about?

B- Well, last night I was stuck in a traffic jam and got home really late so I _____ my favourite soap. I'm absolutely hooked on it

I never ________ TV. I think it's a complete waste of time.

A- Where did you say you found that documentary about whales? I'd like to watch it.

B- Sorry! I can't remember. Maybe if you _____ through the channels you'll find it. It was on last Thursday at about nine o'clock.

A- Any suggestions for this evening?

B-How about just relaxing at home and _______ a movie?

Do you mind if I _________ the TV off? I'm trying to concentrate on my assignment.

 

Now there's no point in ________ satellite TV. You can watch the international news on Youtube.
