8 . Twenty-six years have passed since David Grane and Marta Kauffman’s Friends(《老友记》) was shown for the first time. The American famous situation comedy series, however, is still making friends. Many Chinese teenagers love it. By watching the TV show, they can not only learn about American culture but also improve their spoken English.

Perhaps you haven’t seen the TV series. It’s a story of six young people. They came to New York City to find love, success, adventure (奇遇) and fun. Each of the character (角色) had different personalities. However, they were able to become good friends.

One fan of the show said that the show taught him many things. These things include being honest with people around you. Another fan said, “I learned so much spoken English through watching the show. There are many lessons we can’t learn from books.” For example, Joey sometimes greets people by saying, “Hey, guys! How ya doing?” That’s a phrase that you won’t find in your textbook.

Strange phrases and strange pronunciation (发音) are two things that make learning English difficult. So watching TV series such as Friends is really helpful.
