Good evening, everyone! Let’s talk about some of the new and the old everyday shows. The news is on Channel(频道) Six from 6:00 to 7:00 every evening. Johnson has been reading the news for many years. He and his group always do their job well. The same channel is also good for late night watching. At 11:30 every night, Ted talks with famous people on this 90-minute show Night Time. He always has interesting people on. This week, three movie stars are going to talk about their new movies. In the afternoon, Channel Eleven has a good children’s show The Children’s Room at 3:30. This show has interesting cartoons. They keep children happy and entertained(娱乐的) for hours. Channel Three has the best game shows. They ask some interesting questions and give away(分发) a lot of money and gifts. It’s really a good way to learn about the world in the game shows.

The clock is running. Make the most of today. To realize the value of ONE YEAR,  ask a student who failed a grade; To realize the value of ONE MONTH,  ask a mother who gave birth to a premature( 早产)baby; To realize the value of ONE WEEK,  ask the editor of a weekly newspaper; To realize the value of ONE HOUR,  ask the lovers who are waiting to meet; To realize the value of ONE MINUTE,  ask a person who missed the train; To realize the value of ONE SECOND,  ask a person who just avoided(避免)an accident.
Make good use of every moment that you have. Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called "The Present".
