Unit 9 It's TV Time

3.Listen.Read.

Let's do something different for our spring show this year.

How about doing a variety of TV shows-like on a TV channel?

That's a great idea!We should do a talk show and a news show,for sure.

Let's do a game show,too.I know lots of facts.

I want to be a contestant on the show.

Really?I'd like to be a news announcer.

That would be an exciting job.

But you're all forgetting commercials.

What would a TV channel be without commercials?

Well,I like to write commercials.

I'd rather write commercials than act in them.

Lynn,what do you want to do?

I'd like to be the guest on a talk show.

I like to talk in front of people.

Hey,we might make a vido and show it to the whole school.

We'll be stants.Does anyone want my autograph yet?

6.Listen to the commercials.

Commercial 1

Commercial 2

7.Sing the jingle for a commercial.

Sue's Pet Store,Sue's Pet Store,

Come right on in through our door,We've got cats,birds,dogs,and snakes,

Monkeys and goldfish-All the pets that you can wish

1.TV Talk by Phoebe Wells

1.I was on a TV show last week on Channel 11.

I wasn't a contestant on a game show.

I wasn't an announcer on a news show.

I wasn't in a commercial.No!I was the host on a real talk show.

It's true!Here's what happened.

2.My school class was visiting a TV studio.

We were watching the talk-show host rehearse.

He was so smooth that he made it ollk easy!

Then he got the hiccups."HIC!HIC!"

"He can't talk at all!"a woman said.

And it was time for the program to start.

My teacher told the woman that I loved talk shows.

So,they asked me to go on.

"I would rather hug a sick hippopotamus,"I said.

But the woman was pushing me in front of the camera.

"Where is the script?"I asked.

"I don't know what to say!"But there was no script.

3.'Talk!"the woman said."Go on!"

"Umm.Welcome,"I said."Let's talk with our first guest."

It was pet day on the talk show.The first guest was a parrot.

"She can say cracker,"said the girl with the parrot.

"Baseball!"the parrot said.

"No.Say cracker,"I said to the bird.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"the parrot shouted.

4.I was lucky.My class was going to have a picnic lunch

after our visit to the studio.

I had my lunch with me.I got out a cracker.

When the parrot saw the cracker,it did say cracker.

The audience clapped and clapped.

But that is not all that parrot did

That bird bit my finger too!

It was a very exciting time for me.

But from now on,I think I would rather watch TV than be on it!

Thanks for being super!Hope you had a good time.

Good-bye!Good luck in Book 6.
