Honestly speaking, I’m not a huge fan of TV. When I’m at leisure, I’d rather browse some websites or enjoy a nice movie online. Anyhow, I do have a favorite TV 【小题1】—“Happy Dictionary”, which is a quiz show. In this program, a wide range of 【小题2】 are offered to the winners. It’s kind of like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, a famous quiz show in America.
In the beginning, the hostess will introduce the five【小题3】. Then they will be presented a question. The one who answers the question correctly and quickly will be given an opportunity to take the quiz. The quiz is divided into three or four 【小题4】, I can’t remember exactly how many right now. Anyway, the contestant can get each prize after going through each stage. The prizes are randomly decided by participant himself before the quiz, e.g. a computer, a laptop, a digital camera, a free package holiday, things like that. There are three questions in each stage, The way the hostess asks these questions makes the quiz more difficult. For example, when the contestant has given an answer, the hostess will confuse him by asking whether he is sure or not. Someone might at this time change the 【小题5】 answer into a wrong one. I really enjoy this part. The contestant can 【小题6】 help for only three times during the whole procedure by calling a friend, 【小题7】 the audience to vote for the right answer or letting the computer erase one of the wrong answer. Most of the questions are multiple choices.
This program 【小题8】 lasts for an hour and is usually 【小题9】 at 9:00 pm. For all these years, I think I have 【小题10】 a lot from watching this quiz show. Unlike all the sitcoms (情景剧), this is the kind of program in which I can get to participate and rack my brains (苦思冥想).
