Answers:

This television show is called Caillou and what I liked about the show was that he likes to be happy and enjoy himself. But what I didn't like about the show was that while Caillou wanted to stay outside it started to rain more and Caillou might have caught a cold or have otten sick. I also liked this show because I really liked the happy introduction music.

Activity 2

Most of us like to watch TV when we have the chance. One of my favourite television shows, at the moment, is called Veep. It’s a show about a woman who becomes the President of the United States. It’s pretty funny! I watch Veep on HBO every Monday night.

What is your favourite television show at the moment? On your blog, tell us the name of your favourite television show and tell us, briefly, what it is about.

Answers:

The name of my favourite television show is The Amazing World of Gumball. The show is about this family who has one adopted child and another child who are both boys. One of the boys are named Gumball and he usually gets into trouble or his whole family always has an adventure to go on.
