Exercise 10:
After you read the TV Guide, read the paragraph and:
1) Choose three programs for Joan. Take into account her likes, dislikes, and preferences.
2) Work in pairs. Imagine you’re going to interview Joan to prepare a TV guide for teenagers. Ask her about her preferences. One of you is the journalist and the other one is Joan.
My name is Joan. I like sports, but my favorite is volleyball. I also like music and dancing, but I’d rather watch musicals than go to a disco. I don’t like serials or soap operas and I hate cartoons. I like some films, especially the ones starring Jorge Perugorría.
