“I’m not actually a huge fan of TV, but there is one show that I do enjoy watching every weekend. It’s called _______ idol, which is a hugely popular reality show, where aspiring singers compete against each other for a shot at fame, or even a record contract.




The show is on every Sunday night at about 8pm, and I normally watch it at home with my family.




Young people who dream of being a famous singer, can have the chance to be chosen to perform on the show in front of judges who select the best performers. Later on the public can also get involved, and vote for their favourite singer by phone or online, and the singer with the most votes becomes the winner.




One of the things I love about this show is that it gives any Joe Bloggs off the street, not only a genuine chance to show off their talent, but to also have a shot at fame.




I think we all dream of what it might be like to be a star, and this show really opens doors for some of these dreamers, if of course they have the talent.




On top of that, it’s a lot of fun watching the early stages of the show, and passing judgement on the different contestants as well as supporting the best singers, as if I had discovered them myself.

父亲把五岁的儿子抱在怀里，全神贯注地看篮球赛，孩子看到运动员拼命地抢球，便问道：“爸爸，篮球一定很贵，是吗”，爸爸惊诧地说：“宝贝，你怎么会这样想呢？”孩子说：“要是不贵，他们为什么不每人买一个呢？”

The father held his five-year-old son in his arms and watched the basketball game intently. When the child saw the players fighting for the ball desperately, he asked, "Dad, basketball must be very expensive, isn't it?" the father said in surprise, "baby, how can you think so?" The child said, "if it's not expensive, why don't they each buy one?"

La Ciudad de México está llena de lugares que bien podrían describirse como mágicos. Calles, museos, monumentos y avenidas inundan los alrededores de la capital mexicana. Una de las avenidas más largas y emblemáticas de la Ciudad es, sin duda, Paseo de la Reforma, que va desde el poniente de la ciudad, en donde se conecta con Constituyentes, hasta el centro con dirección al norte, conectándose con las calzadas de Guadalupe y de los Misterios, recorriendo 14.7 kilómetros de longitud.

A lo largo de su historia han ocurrido importantes acontecimientos, además de que es centro frecuente de manifestaciones populares y conciertos en donde se han reunido miles de personas. A lo largo de la avenida, que se podría considerar incluso la más importante del país, se pueden encontrar destacados recintos y monumentos, como la Fuente de la Diana Cazadora, el Ángel de la Independencia (el cuál es tomado como un referente icónico de la capital mexicana), la Torre del Caballito, la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, la Torre mayor, la Estela de Luz, entre muchos otros. Es un lugar que no puede faltar en las visitas de los extranjeros que vienen a nuestro país.
