I don't watch TV much, which is not the case for the rest of my family. My sister always switches to cartoon Network to watch her favourites. Tom and Jerry, of course. My parents watch the news and they usually get upset about politics. My granny never misses the afternoon soap operas. She is old but she is very good at remembering all the characters and their love affairs. I find it so boring. I like watching documentaries, especially the ones about animals.

Sometimes I switch to teletext to check the weather report because if it doesn't rain the next day, I know I can play tennis or football with my friends.

A: Let's switch to 'The Moment of Truth, just for a minute.
