Many children act in TV shows. They work several hours every day, so they cannot go to a regular school. How do they get an education?

In Hollywood, where many TV shows are made, about forty teachers are working. The teacher’s job is very important. She is responsible for making sure that the children work only the permitted hours each week. She is also responsible for making sure that children learn the required subjects. She makes sure too, that the children get enough rest and play, gives lessons to the children in the shows. She teaches wherever the children are working.

Children actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says that they must be taught from September to the middle of June. If they do not get good marks in school, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows.

TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work. Their classes are held in many interesting places. Sometimes the “classroom” is a Mississippi riverboat. Sometimes it is the inside of a spaceship. Often the pupils become famous stars.

Since I’m preparing to act in a new TV play, I’m taking weight –loss pills called Fat-Less, which are quite ________ among young women here.

There are hundreds of TV channels in the United States. Americans get a lot of entertainment and information from TV. Most people probably watch it for entertainment only. For some people, however, TV is where they get the news of the day. But some new TV programs or shows put entertainment and news together.

This new kind of program in the United States is called “infotainment”, which means information （info-） and entertainment （-tainment）. These kinds of programs use actors to act out news stories, making the news of the day more interesting and exciting to people. The shows also use special effects.

An example of infotainment is the show “America’s Most Wanted”. The producers of this program get stories from real cases that the police have dealt with. In most of these cases, the police never found the person who committed the crime （犯罪）. Sometimes they caught the criminal, but he or she ran away again. They use actors to play the parts of all the people in the case. At the end of the story, however, they always show “mug shots” （嫌疑犯照片）, or police photographs, of the real criminals.
