what kinds of tv programmes do you enjoy watching ?   I like current affairs programmes and documentaries , especially wildlife ones . How about you ?   I like those kinds of programmes too . They ’ re very informative . I think that many people underrate the education value of tv .   I agree . People often criticize tv for showing too much sex and violence .   yeah . And that ’ s so funny because most people prefer watching sex and violence to watching something more educational !   right . You can ’ t blame the tv stations for showing popular kinds of programmes . They need to make money from advertisements shown during and between programmes .   in my country , there ’ s a time limit on the advertisements that can be shown . I think it ’ s about six minutes per hour .   that ’ s great idea . But don ’ t the tv station lose a lot of money because of that ?   no . they don ’ t . they simply charge higher prices at peak times . Is there no limit on the amount of advertisements that can be shown on tv in your country ?   not as far as I know . We have so many advertisements . the interruptions are unbearable sometimes ! That ’ s one reason that many people prefer satellite or cable tv , where you pay a fixed amount each mo   some people have satellite and cable tv in my country , but people don ’ t seem to keen to pay for their tv programmes . Besides , the terrestrial channels offer a good range of programmes .
