The Chinese Poetry Conference (《中国诗词大会》) has been popular for four years. It is a trending topic among all ages as well as a must-watch event.
Competitors aged from as young as eight to sixty, come from all backgrounds and walks of life, including engineers, students, farmers, doctors, editors and delivery couriers (快递员). Even foreign fans of Chinese poetry have taken part, coming from countries including Singapore, Thailand and the United States. All of them have gathered in Beijing for the event to showcase their deep love for classical Chinese poetry.
The success of this program has generated (引起) wide online discussion. Many netizens (网民) said after watching the TV show, they came to realize the beauty of the Chinese language and classical poetry, with some parents adding that their children have been inspired (激发) by the show and have started learning and reciting classical poetry.
On the other hand, experts have been talking about what is behind the sudden enthusiasm (热情) for poetry, and how such a show on traditional culture is proving more popular than light entertainment (娱乐) programs.
China has become the world’s second largest economy, and with its rapid growth an increasing number of people have been paying more attention to their spiritual (精神上的) needs, rather than being only pleased with material plenty (物质需求). The popularity of Chinese poetry is perhaps just one aspect of a new trend forming in the country.

6 . Many boys and girls love to watch TV. They spend many hours a day in front of the TV set. There are many types（种类）of TV programs, such as sitcoms, soap operas, movies, sports shows, fashion（时尚；时装业） shows, etc. A child can learn both bad things and good things from them. Some programs help children to understand the news all over the world, and some show them the people and places of other countries. With television , a child doesn’t have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean（海洋） to see sharks. Boys and girls can see a play, listen to a concert or watch a game at home.
But some programs show crime and other things which are not educational for children. So parents sometimes should help them to find other interesting things to do. They should tell them it is fun to watch some TV programs, but it is also fun to read books, to play games or to visit friends.

Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. They are very popular all over China.
These talent shows give everyone an opportunity （机会）to show off their talents. 3. For some lucky people, these talent shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate （模仿）their favorite stars. They may forget about their own styles. Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being a star. 4. So they spend less time on their studies.
In my opinion, these shows are social activities. Young people can take part in these activities to get social experience. But they should know that the chance of becoming famous is very small for most people. They should know that they should work hard at something more important, their school work. In short, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not.
