ReplyDelete2.I have no obvious opinions about reality shows on TV.I don't always watch this shows. But actually ,I have watched it. I just used it to spend my time when I had nothing to do. Although you can get a lot fun from this shows. But it lacks of education significance. So it just for fun.

Somethings like how to improve your English quickly and how to pass the test. In general, my life is good. That is all.
