Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives. My friend told me that when his TV-set broke down, he and his family found that they had more time to do things and to talk to each other. There are other arguments for and against television. Very often the programmes are bad. Sometimes they show too much violence in films and news programmes. There is also too much pop music and ads. Ads on the whole are convenient for grown-ups. But is it good for children to watch all those ads where they show all kinds of underwear and what not? Questions: 1. What advantages does television have? 2. What disadvantages does television have? 3. What did my friend find when his TV-set broke down? 4. What do they sometimes show? Vocabulary: entertainment -- to turn on -- passive -- to dominate -- to break down -- argument -- violence -- pop music -- ads (advertisemets) --
The British Franchise Association website (www.businessfranchise.com) is a good place to start. You can search their online directory by location, business sector or by how much initial investment is required to acquire a franchise. The franchise model is an increasingly popular method of developing a business and long gone are the days of franchise businesses being boring! For example, Reading-based MAD Academy was launched in 2004 and offers music and dance classes for pre-school children. Their website (www.madacademy.com) is a classic example of how to engage with potential franchisees. It lists the key messages that any would-be franchisee should look for: "a strong brand; complete package of proven class and business materials; full range of professionally developed marketing tools; on-going training and full support available every day." MAD Academy is suited to people with a passion for music and a willingness to engage

In the following class, learners swap reviews with their partner and give each other feedback on: 1. In pairs, learners choose two things from popular arts culture that they are familiar with but which they are likely to have different opinions on, and for which they could easily find reviews online – for example, • how successfully they addressed the task (‘compare, explain, recommend’) a classic film and its recent remake, or two pieces of popular music, or two books by the same author. • any useful or interesting language (You could use the sample Part 2 task from this guide as a prompt if your students have trouble thinking • whether these reviews have made them reconsider their original opinions and why! of anything.) 2. Give the students time to discuss their opinions about these two things in their pairs. For example: Self-assessment
has lived in. Older people most probably think about folk dance, middle-aged people, who most probably are also more into culture, about ballet and younger people about showdance. It is unbelievable how wide the artform at hand actually is. If you dig into the world of dance a bit deeper you can find a lot of unexpected art works under the name of this art outlet. I am also used to thinking about dance as something that is mostly about moving your body according to the rhythm of music. I have also seen plays of contemporary ballet but when I went to see two contemporary dance recitals in 2017 which were premiered in Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava, I did not expect to see what I saw. The one that left me the strongest impression was a show called “Imagine there’s a fish” which was choreographed by Sigrid Savi and also performed by her. Sigrid has been mostly active as an freelance dancer. She graduated Viljandi Culture Academy in 2015 on the field of dance
