Question

【题目】

Nearly thirty years have passed since the American TV series. Friends, was shown for the first time in 1994. However, it is still making friends. Many Chinese teenagers love it. Through watching the show, they can not only learn about American culture but also improve their English.

Perhaps you haven't seen the series. It's a story of six young people. They came to New York City to find love, success, adventure and fun. Each of the characters had a different personality. However, they were able to overlook(忽略）their differences and became good friends. There was no social media at that time, but they always “liked” and supported one another. “I'll be there for you.” says the opening song, “because you're there for me, too.”

New phrases and strange pronunciation are two things that make learning English difficult So, watching TV series such as Friends is really helpful. You can write down the words and phrases you don't understand. Translate them and then imitate the pronunciation. And, to make it more fun, think about the life lessons you can learn from the show. Practice being “Friends” with your own friends.
