     Hi, I’m Dave. This week I asked three friends about their TV watching habits. Here are the results. Amy has strict home rules. She can only watch TV every Sunday. Her favorite is talent shows. And she said they were fun to watch. Judy likes watching sitcoms best. She spends around two hours on them every day. She usually expects to learn some great jokes from them. As for Vince, he likes sports, so he watches his favorite program — sports shows three times a week. He thinks they always make him excited and relaxed.
