Ignore what they say about TV shows rotting your brain—our research finds that many people are using television shows as both a form of entertainment and a way to help them learn English. One of the best ways to teach and to learn how to speak the English language is to actually watch American and British television shows and some learning channels.
We are interested in discovering what English learners are watching to help them improve their skills outside of the classroom. US political drama series House of Cards is the most popular TV show among our 6,000 global survey participants, particularly in China, the Republic of Korea and India. British period drama Downton Abbey is the favourite of Russian and Japanese respondents. However, learners in Mexico, the USA, Turkey and Brazil prefer Breaking Bad.
The rise of on-demand streaming services has enabled viewers all over the world to watch shows without having to wait for them to be broadcast in their country, which explains why shows created especially for online providers, such as House of Cards, have become so universally popular.
Perhaps one of the biggest surprising success stories is Downton Abbey, which is one of the most-watched British TV shows of all time. The show, which explores the lives of an aristocratic(贵族的) British family and their servants during the early twentieth century, has been watched by more than 120 million people worldwide. The creators didn't expect the subject matter to resonate(引起共鸣) so well with global viewers, but most of the stories are about emotional situations that everyone can relate to, no matter where they are in the world.
Television programmes may be a fun way to improve vocabularies and build familiarity with genuine dialogues and different cultures, but in recent years there have been complaints that actors are mumbling(含糊地说) their lines. Even native English speakers are struggling to understand what they are watching on screen. This is partly down to the desire for actors to appear "genuine" and capture the true features of a character.
1.Why has the drama series House of Cards become so popular
A.It is only shown on TV. B.Its plots interest everyone.
C.It is about the life of the British aristocracy. D.The audience can watch it online without waiting.
2.What has been the problem with language learning through television programmes in recent years
A.The actors' terrible acting. B.The actors' unclear lines.
C.The dramas' bad plots. D.The dramas' bad lines.
3.What is probably the purpose of the research
A.To show that people like American and British TV shows.
B.To introduce viewers to the world's most popular TV series.
C.To prove that television shows are helpful in learning English.
D.To explain the function of television shows.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.A fun way to learn English. B.How to learn English better.
C.Where to find popular foreign TV shows. D.The disadvantages of watching TV shows.
