My favourite TV - programme is “Morning”. It is an informational and amusing programme. Every morning millions of people watch it before the work. It gives you all the information about the news in Russia and abroad. Besides, it get acquainted us with interesting men and women and of course, it gives us the information about the weather. Between the meetings and informations there is a lot of music, songs and advertisement.

3. To my mind, it is, of course, the broadcast “What? Where? When?”. This cast is a game between the six - players and TV spectators. The spectators send the letters with puzzling questions for the players to answer the spectators’ questions. The game ends when somebody of them first has 6 points. I learn very many interesting things from this broadcast. The leader of this broadcast is Alexander Voroshilov.

To my opinion it is a family broadcast “While the family is at home. I like it very much. I am fond of its leader – Timur Kizjakov. I always wait for Sunday because every Sunday I meet with popular actors or actresses, with famous composers or singers, with sportsmen or statesmen. They tell about their family life, about wives, their children, their problems. It is very interesting for me.

I am very fond of animals, so that’s why my favourite TV - cast is “The world of animals. ” This broadcast is held every Sunday at 5 o’clock in the evening, on “Russian TV channel. This TV - cast shows us very interesting films about animals life, their habits and ways.

My favourite TV programme is one made by Dmitriy Krylov. It is a weekly programme. It is broadcast on Sunday. This programme is very popular in our country. They show many historical places, tell interesting facts about different countries and cities, broadcast interviews with famous people. I like this programme and try not to miss it.

My favorite TV show is Voice. It is a singing competition. There are four coaches. They listen to singers without seeing them, and turn their chairs to signify that they are interested in working with that artist. If more than one coach turns the chair, the artist chooses the coach. It is so interesting. The coaches sometimes can't understand if it is a woman or a man singing. Or they think that it is an old man, then turn their chair and see that it is a young woman. There you can see many talented people. I think this show is a good chance for talented people. I like this show very much
