Watch American TV and English TV and learn English! What is the correct way to open it?

  Is it reliable to learn English by watching American TV series? Of course, it is reliable, provided that you master the correct way to open American TV series!

  Isn’t the correct way to watch a drama, moving a small bench, drinking with your left hand and snacks with your right hand, and laughing while watching? No! It’s hard to improve your English even if you read countless plays like this.

  If you want to learn English through American TV series, you need to treat TV series as learning materials rather than entertainment materials, and master a set of correct practice methods. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of time under the guise of learning.

  According to the learning method, the entertainment may be weakened, but when you really understand each episode, you will find that this is a more interesting perspective, and you can discover the connotation and even cultural phenomena behind many plots.

  So, what is the correct way to learn English through drama?

  First, pick the drama series

  If you want to improve your English by watching TV plays, you must first choose a suitable TV series, because not all American TV plays are suitable for learning English.

  For example, Hollywood blockbusters with cool special effects, or medical drama, crime dramas, criminal investigation dramas, etc. with small themes and strong professionalism are very suitable for entertainment and relaxation, but they are not suitable for learning materials. The length of movies is generally 1.5~2 hours, which is not conducive to repeated learning and easy to get bored. However, most of the words in the dramas with too strong professionalism are related to this specific field, which is relatively uncommon and difficult to use in daily life (unless you are particularly interested in this field, you can challenge it after reaching a higher level).

  Choosing a drama for the purpose of learning should not only focus on the plot, but also take life-oriented, multi-dialogue and clear pronunciation as the standards, and also distinguish the difficulty level. Some American dramas speak too fast, and all kinds of accents and slang are mixed, so they are not suitable for beginners to practice.

  I suggest to choose life sitcoms at first. 80% of the words in these American dramas are within the common vocabulary of daily communication. The plots are close to life, and the pronunciation is generally standard and clear. Both listening and speaking are ideal materials. Moreover, the duration of a single episode is moderate, and there may not be a plot connection between each episode, which is suitable for learning each episode independently. The most typical recommendation is Friends. The story is light and humorous, and the episode lasts for more than 20 minutes. It is very convenient to listen and imitate repeatedly. Every time you conquer an episode, you don’t have to worry about where you saw it last time, and you can quickly accumulate a sense of accomplishment.

  If the foundation is weak, cartoons are also a good choice. For example, the British cartoon "Piggy Peggy" on fire is only 5 minutes per episode, which is more convenient to practice. But don’t underestimate it, its vocabulary in the first four seasons reached 4503, which is about the level of CET-4.

  When the level is improved, you can choose drama American dramas for advanced practice. Relatively speaking, melodrama has more complicated scenes, characters and topics, more orthodox and authentic expressions, and a rich vocabulary.

  In short, it is the first step to success to choose the most suitable drama according to your own English foundation.

  Second, prepare materials

  After finding a suitable drama, you can search the lines and scripts of this drama on the Internet (it is also recommended that you choose life sitcoms because such dramas are widely circulated, and it is easy to find scripts and even intensive notes on the Internet).

  Go through the script, look up the new words you don’t know, and get a general idea of the dialogue and story. Then take the script, put on headphones and start watching the play seriously!

  Third, watch the drama

  First of all, it is clear that there is no future to rely on Chinese subtitles all the time! If you want to really improve your level, you have to ask yourself to get used to getting rid of subtitles and learn to chew raw meat. As for how to set Chinese and English subtitles, QQ Video and Storm Video all have the function of "mosaic subtitles", and Baidu’s experience can be found (see the picture on the right).

  Step 1

  The first time, you can open Chinese and English subtitles, get familiar with the plot, and make comments in the script book, marking the places you don’t understand and excellent expressions. When recording, don’t analyze or try to remember for the time being, and then review it uniformly after reading it all over.

  Step 2

  The second time, turn off the Chinese subtitles, only look at English to understand every dialogue of the characters, open the Chinese comparison where you really don’t understand, and mark the points you don’t understand.

  Step 3

  Try to turn off the subtitles for the third or fourth time, listen to the dialogue of the characters, and try to reflect the meaning of each line immediately when you hear it, and fully understand the plot. You can listen to the places that are faster and more difficult to understand, and arrange the practice times according to your own situation.

  Step 4

  Open your mouth and follow.

  The dialogue and narration in American TV plays are the best examples of oral learning. On the basis of watching it carefully for several times, opening your mouth and following it can greatly improve your oral ability, and at the same time consolidate and train your listening.

  First, read one sentence after another, watch one sentence, press pause and read one sentence after another. Try to imitate the pronunciation and intonation rhythm of the characters, not only the pronunciation, but also the phonetic forms of words in real communication, such as linking, stressing and shortening, and carefully understand the language habits in expression.

  After following the whole episode for 1-2 times, you should already know its contents by heart, so you should try to follow it synchronously. You can practice in 3-minute or 5-minute intervals, and try to keep up with the speed of the characters’ speech until they imitate like the video before starting the next paragraph.

  Step 5

  Dictation.

  If you want to maximize the value of American TV series, you will eventually have to write it. Dictation is definitely a good method. Turn on the video (you can turn off the subtitles) and listen to the sentence by sentence. You will find some problems that you neglected before. The most common thing is that you can’t write words. Master the words that you can’t write, and you won’t really "catch up" with an episode of American TV until you have dictated the content of this episode.

  Knowing the correct method, it’s time to choose a play and practice it.

  The Simpsons The Simpsons

  Douban score: 9.0

  The Simpsons is the longest-lived sitcom and animation program in American history, and it is also an absolute masterpiece in many people’s minds. The story is set in the fictional American town of Springfield. The Simpsons are an ordinary American family of five. His father Homer is the safety inspector of the nuclear power plant in the town, and his mother Ma Zhi is a thoughtful housewife. His naughty eldest son Bart, his clever sister Lisa and his little girl Maggie will never grow up. The happy life of a middle-class family is shown in a funny and humorous way full of nonsense.

  For beginners, cartoons are the first, with short dialogue, slow speech, easy dialogue and simple plot. The Simpsons story is interesting and deep, so it is the first choice for getting started.

  Friends

  Friends

  Douban score: 9.6~9.8

  One of the most popular American dramas in history tells the story of six friends with different personalities who have gone through ten years of ups and downs together from acquaintance to acquaintance. This play is so classic that I won’t introduce it too much. As entertainment, humor is relaxed and the characters are full; As a learning material, most of its lines are short spoken sentences, with moderate speech speed, daily vocabulary and standard and clear pronunciation.

  Other similar excellent sitcoms include Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory (there are too many uncommon words in the first two seasons, so it is recommended to watch them from the fourth season) and Desperate Housewives (compared with Friends, there are more long sentences and advanced words, which are slightly more difficult).

  This is us "our day"

  Douban score: 8.8~9.6

  The American drama, which is extremely warm and healing max, has the nostalgia of the 1980s in the United States, and also has the laughter and tears that contemporary people feel the same way. It is the drama that touched me the most times. It is about the family life of an ordinary American couple and their three children. Jack and his wife Rebecca have three children born on the same day. Both generations born on the same day have their own troubles and confusions. Faced with countless problems thrown by life, how do they actively resolve and embark on different life trajectories … …

  The plot of "thick chicken soup flavor" magically makes people immersed in it and can’t extricate themselves. Laughter and tears are juxtaposed, which is not dull and unpretentious. The dialogue in it is very life-oriented. It is a necessary drama to understand the daily life of Americans and learn common spoken English, and maybe it can cure your "mourning" inadvertently.

  Felicity

  Felicity

  Douban score: 8.5~8.6

  Felicity, a girl, gave up the opportunity to go to Stanford Medical School to pursue her boyfriend, but came to new york thousands of miles away alone. The play tells the story of Felicity’s new independent life after she left her parents, and the important choices she and her new friends made for various problems in life when they entered adulthood. Although it is a 1998 drama, it is not out of date at all. The youth, growth and confusion it tells always resonate easily, and it can also be used to explore the daily life and culture of American university campuses.

  The plot is very close to daily life (especially college life), the words are more everyday, and there are many authentic oral expressions, which are suitable for learning materials.

  The West Wing "the west wing"

  Douban score: 9.1

  High-quality American TV series with political themes. Butler, the leader of the Democratic Party, won the election and became the new president in the White House. He and his team were baptized in a series of political events based on real historical events, and experienced the transformation of life in the first year of high-intensity work.

  There are countless classic debates and speeches, but the speed of speech and professional vocabulary are very difficult, so it is difficult to chew them down, which is suitable for people with higher English level.

  Mad Men

  Mad Men

  Douban score: 8.7~9.4

  The 1960s was the heyday of American advertising. The drama tells the brutal commercial competition of American advertising industry and the scenes of cross-border wars in the workplace, shopping malls and love scenes on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, which are interspersed with many creative cases. If you are familiar with or interested in advertising industry, this drama is very suitable for challenges.

  Similar excellent American TV dramas include Newsroom, House of Cards, Prison Break, etc. The plot is very compact and wonderful, and the content is deeper, but it is also relatively difficult, which is suitable for those with higher level to challenge and break through.

  Finally, I will give you some important tips:

  1. English learning is a process of repeated practice. You should practice and listen again and again until you are satisfied. There is not much in learning, and it is far better to read one episode thoroughly than to watch ten episodes.

  2. Learning English with American TV plays is mainly about listening and speaking, so as to improve daily communication ability. You can’t rely entirely on watching American TV plays for English learning, and you have to memorize the words!

  3. Persistence is the most important thing in learning English. Repetition over and over may be a little boring, but if the purpose of watching American TV series is just for entertainment, don’t expect it to improve your English. After all, there is no shortcut to learning. (Senior Feng Xiao, Master of Sociology, Cambridge University, UK)

Did you find "getting shorter" at the beginning of school? Doctor: If you miss the golden period of spring, the gap may be even bigger.

Chao news client reporter Yan Xue correspondent Xin Xuan
In the past two days, primary and secondary schools in various places have started school one after another. Many parents have made dynamic celebrations for "the return of the beast to the cage", but some parents have new "troubles".
Ms. Liu (pseudonym) in Hangzhou noticed that her second-grade children were actually "short"? Last semester, the child was obviously of medium height in the class, so how did he sit in the first and second rows this semester!
In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon. Dr. Wang Suli, a pediatrician in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Xinhua Hospital of Zhejiang Province), said that each child’s development speed and time are different, which are influenced by many factors such as heredity, nutrition, exercise, sleep and psychological status.
In addition, holidays provide precious time for children to rest and relax. However, if children "fly themselves" excessively, have irregular work and rest, stay up late frequently, eat too much junk food, and do not exercise during holidays, these bad habits may have a negative impact on their growth and development.

Eat well, sleep well and grow tall.
With the coming of spring, bacterial viruses have become active, and infectious diseases such as influenza and norovirus in spring are still in a high incidence period. In addition to developing good hygiene habits, it is also important for children and adolescents to improve their immunity.
At the same time, spring is also the golden age for children’s growth and development. Studies have confirmed that March to May every year is the accelerated period of children’s height growth.
In this critical period, parents should not only ensure their children’s balanced nutrition, adequate sleep and take their children to do some outdoor sports, but also rely on the power of Chinese medicine. "spleen-invigorating paste" is a good prescription for children! It is especially suitable for children with poor physique and substandard height and weight.
"After posting it for three or four times, the child’s appetite is obviously better, and he will be hungry and take the initiative to eat, sometimes eating more than me." Last spring, after Mr. Zhang (a pseudonym) took his son to the hospital pediatrics department to receive the "spleen-invigorating patch", the change of the child made the family happy. According to the doctor’s instructions, with adequate sleep and vertical movements such as skipping rope, touching height and shooting, the child’s height is much higher than that of the previous year.
In addition to eating, children’s sleep problems also really make parents "headache." Wang Suli said that she had received feedback from many parents in the outpatient clinic. After putting on the "spleen-invigorating paste", the children’s sleep quality was significantly improved, and this change also had a positive impact on their growth and development.

Spleen-activating patch can not only "encourage"
These situations also apply.
1, the height growth is slow or the height is lower than the average height of children of the same age;
2, light weight, anorexia, picky eaters, poor appetite;
3, cold or careless diet is easy to diarrhea and abdominal pain;
4. Enuresis, frequent urination or other diseases accompanied by growth retardation;
5, irritable personality, difficulty falling asleep or unstable sleep.
Except for those whose height growth is slow or whose height is lower than the average height of children of the same age, children and adolescents with the above symptoms can try.

Zhejiang University recruits "security posts": Master’s English must pass CET-6.

  Master degree or above;

  CET-6 or above (or TOEFL score above 80, IELTS score above 5.5);

  Good physical fitness, hard-working.

  What do you think of at the first time when you see such a job requirement?

  I believe that I can’t think of it anyway. This is a recruitment for a security post.

  Yesterday, when the reporter saw this recruitment requirement, his eyes also widened — — Zhejiang University announced the recruitment notice for Party and government management positions in 2016, and 48 positions were vacant. Among so many positions, the most striking one is a "security post" that requires a master’s degree or above, with a total of four places.

  Many Zhejiang University students forwarded this recruitment notice in the circle of friends, and many people started the self-deprecating mode: the background of Zhejiang University undergraduate course for four years was not even qualified to apply for the "doorman" of their alma mater.

  The security guard post recruited this time

  The annual salary is about 100,000 yuan

  The reporter found that among the 48 positions, except for the engineering construction management post of the Capital Construction Department, there is no requirement for foreign languages, and all others require a master’s degree or above and CET-6 or above. Many positions also require graduates from 211 and 985 colleges and universities.

  All positions must first take a written test organized by the school, and the written test subject is "Writing and Comprehensive Application Ability", and then conduct two rounds of interviews.

  Compared with graduate education management, scientific research and foreign affairs management, network information construction management and other recruitment positions, why does this security post also need a master’s degree or above?

  Yesterday, Chen Wei, director of the security department of Zhejiang University, told the reporter that every time Zhejiang University recruits, the school personnel department will set an overall minimum application standard, and each department will adjust it according to its own needs, and the requirements for security posts are already low.

  "Master degree or above, we have used this requirement for several years".

  He is a master himself, and he studied engineering in that year.

  Teacher Zhang from the Personnel Department of Zhejiang University revealed that two people were recruited for this position last year, and dozens of people signed up at that time. Compared with other positions, there are fewer graduates from prestigious schools, and most of them graduated from ordinary universities with master’s degrees.

  Coincidentally, Hangzhou Business School of Zhejiang Gongshang University released the recruitment notice for talents in the winter of 2016 yesterday. The comprehensive management post of the security department also requires a master’s degree or above, and public security, public security and criminal investigation are preferred.

  Last year, the requirements set by the Security Department of Sichuan University were even higher. Only a doctor’s degree or a master’s degree in security and fire protection can apply for security posts. At that time, the school said that the development and maintenance of the school’s "Skynet" system and fire remote monitoring all needed high-tech talents in electronic information technology.

  Security also requires a postgraduate degree. Is this high requirement the legendary "academic worship"?

  Chen Wei explained in detail that all the positions recruited by Zhejiang University this time are management posts, and so are the security posts, which are mainly responsible for the school’s public security, safety education, fire safety, etc., and require high professional knowledge, and are not ordinary security guards in people’s impressions.

  The security post recruited this time has an annual salary of about 100,000 yuan.

  Listen to the radio and practice listening.

  English communication between security personnel and international students

  What is a security post? Can high education and English come in handy?

  The reporter specially interviewed one of them.

  Qiu Gang applied for the security post last year. He holds a master’s degree in physical education and training from Zhejiang Normal University, and worked in Shanghai Public Security Bureau for four years before.

  After coming to Zhejiang University for more than half a year, he mainly worked in the comprehensive management office.

  The first is accident handling.

  For example, if a student loses his wallet, his bicycle is missing, and there is a traffic accident on campus, he will rush to the scene to deal with it at the first time. He said that compared with social disputes, the quality of Zhejiang University students is generally higher, and it is smoother to deal with campus accidents.

  Secondly, fire fighting is another important task of security work. Qiu Gang participated in two laboratory fire inspections, mainly to check the dangerous and highly toxic substances in large and small laboratories of the school, and to eliminate fire hazards.

  Thirdly, when it comes to orientation, exams and other nodes, Qiu Gang and others will also organize school guards to maintain order and allocate manpower.

  Chen Wei said that this security post often needs to deal with people, so he will pay special attention to the communication and coordination skills of candidates during the interview.

  Although English is not the working language of security guards, they often need it. The most common situation is that foreign students from Zhejiang University call the police for help.

  Qiu Gang said that he handled several incidents related to international students last month. Generally speaking, there is no problem in communicating with students from English-speaking countries, but some students from non-English-speaking countries are not very good at English, and sometimes they encounter some troubles.

  Qiu Gang’s CET-6 is "drifting at low altitude" and just crossed the line. In order to improve his listening and speaking, he listens to English radio every day when he goes to work by bus.

  Well, English is really important.

  On the campus of Zhejiang University, you can often see security guards patrolling around, as well as guards and doormen at the school gate and teaching building. These are members of the school guard of Zhejiang University. The five campuses add up to hundreds of people, and the recruitment by cooperative security companies is not within the scope of this recruitment.

  Chen Wei revealed that there are now less than 50 formal security personnel in Zhejiang University, of which 85% are men and 15% are women.

  What is the staff level of the security guard post of Zhejiang University? The reporter chatted with Qiu Gang in English yesterday, simulating "calling for help". The reporter played an international student from Zhejiang University.

  — — Hello, is this the campus police?

  — — Yes, what’s wrong with you?

  — — I had a traffic accident on my way to the canteen, and a bicycle knocked me down.

  — — Are you hurt? I’ll send a patrol right away.

  — — I think I sprained my ankle. How soon can you arrive? What else should I do?

  — — Please tell me your student number, grade and major. Thank you. We have informed the police and 120, please be patient.

The national English proficiency test will be launched before 2020 and divided into nine grades.

  (Reporter Liu Xu) The official WeChat of the Ministry of Education reported yesterday that the main body of the China English Proficiency Scale has been developed, and the National English Proficiency Test is planned to be gradually launched before 2020. This means that a unified English assessment system will be established in China in the future. The launch of the "National Edition" English Proficiency Test Plan is conducive to solving the problems of different English test standards and incoherent teaching objectives at various stages, realizing the communication and mutual recognition of various learning achievements, reducing repeated exams, and meeting various needs such as teaching evaluation, further studies, and employment.

  It is understood that there are about 300 million English learners in China, but there is often a lack of coherence in various English syllabuses and uniform standards for various exams. People need to cope with a wide variety of English exams, so it is necessary to develop a unified English grade scale and corresponding grade exams.

  Lin Huiqing, Vice Minister of Education, recently revealed at the Second International Symposium on Language Testing and Evaluation that the main body of the China English Proficiency Scale has been developed and is expected to be officially released in 2017. This is the first competency standard covering English teaching, learning and assessment at all stages of education in China. It will help to solve the problems of different English test standards, separation of teaching and testing objectives, and incoherent teaching objectives at all stages, and realize "one-stop" English teaching and mutual recognition of various learning achievements. In addition to describing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, China English Proficiency Scale constructs a "pragmatic competence" scale, which also includes translation and interpretation competence scales, which are rare in foreign language proficiency scales, filling the gaps in domestic and foreign language proficiency scales.

  Professor Liu Jianda, vice president of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, introduced that the newly-developed rating scale will be divided into nine grades. Among them, Grade 1 and Grade 2 roughly correspond to the primary school level, Grade 3 corresponds to junior high school, Grade 4 corresponds to senior high school, Grade 5 and Grade 6 corresponds to universities, Grade 7 corresponds to English majors, and Grade 8 and Grade 9 correspond to high-end foreign language talents. In addition, this level of examination standard can also be used for multiple purposes, which reduces repeated examinations and can meet various needs such as teaching evaluation, further studies and employment.

  The newly launched National English Proficiency Test will be based on the China English Proficiency Test Scale, and the tests at all levels will be coherent and orderly. On the basis of inheriting the advantages of various English tests in China, the relevant expert teams have designed a graded and classified proficiency test, which can meet the different needs of different educational stages and meet the needs of educational modernization.

  The Beijing Youth Daily reporter also learned that 26 provinces used English test papers with unified national propositions in this year’s college entrance examination, and the reform of the test content has been deepened, which has enhanced its foundation, comprehensiveness, application and innovation. In 2014, the State Council made it clear in "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Examination Enrollment System" that the goal of China’s foreign language proficiency assessment system is to promote the reform of examination content and form on the basis of establishing national foreign language assessment standards, and realize the connection or integration between the national English proficiency test and the existing foreign language tests.

Meet with the "bright moon", a stage party will create a different impression of Lantern Festival.

Standing at the historical node of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the centenary of the founding of the Party, this year’s CCTV Lantern Festival will integrate the theme of the times, integrate new forms and contents, release warmth in the party, and create a happy and upward holiday atmosphere.

"Once again, spring returns."

 

Lantern Festival, as an important festival at the end of the Spring Festival, has always been valued by people. On the occasion of the festive season, TV screens staged a variety of forms and unique Lantern Festival parties, continuing the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and at the beginning of the new year, cheering up the national audience and conveying ardent wishes and hopes.

 

Integrate multiple themes and show new style.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the centenary of the founding of the Party … 2021 started in these keywords, and the picture of a new era has begun, and a new history is waiting to be written.

 

This year’s Lantern Festival parties have incorporated the theme of the times into the program for expression. In the Central Radio and Television General Station’s "Spend a Full Moon and Snack", the eventful years of the country and the party are embedded in the song "Hundred Years"; Focusing on the revitalization of the countryside, the cross talk "Shi Xian" will pay tribute to the poverty-stricken cadres and the first secretaries, buried in the poem "Helping the people with one heart, getting rid of poverty in an all-round way and promoting revitalization"; In the future, how should we practice it? Artists of old, middle-aged and young people will tell it with songs on the same stage, and they will "go to the people" and "bend down and kiss the earth"; The road ahead still needs to be remembered. The acrobatic "Monument" is a magnificent red revolutionary story.

 

Satellite TV Lantern Festival focuses on integrating into the development of the times and displaying regional characteristics and development achievements.

 

The changes and prosperity of Anhui’s Damei landscape and Chaohu Lake’s economic development are condensed into the cross talk "The Year of the Ox Says the Ox" at the anhui tv Lantern Festival. In "Barbecue Beauty", the urban management becomes a vendor and becomes the "guardian" of developing the night market economy. Shandong Satellite TV’s Lantern Festival essay "Returning Home with Clothes" highlights returning home to start a business and build a hometown. Hometown is no worse than the city, as "Our Common People" sings, "The great heroes all come from our common people. If the tree is high in thousands of feet, it should also take root in the soil".

Innovative forms, so that culture and the bright moon set each other off.

This year, the Banquet at the Tang Palace in Henan Spring Festival Evening was "out of the circle" because of its clever expression. The Lantern Festival of Henan Satellite TV continued to use this form, and the girls in the Banquet at the Tang Palace toured the museum in series to present a "wonderful night in the museum" for the audience, which not only narrowed the distance between the audience and cultural relics, but also brought traditional culture and art to life.

 

Traditional Chinese opera shows new highlights in the continuous integration. The "2021 Lantern Festival Opera Evening" by the Central Radio and Television General Station moved the evening party outdoors, and more than ten kinds of North and South operas, such as Beijing Opera, Cantonese Opera, Chaozhou Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera, combined situational fusion with outdoor real scenes and staged an outdoor real-life opera show.

 

"Old Opera and New Singing" is another way to interpret the quintessence of Chinese opera at the Lantern Festival. Whether it’s the joint singing program of Peking Opera, Henan Opera and Huangmei Opera at the anhui tv Lantern Festival, or Mu Guiying at the Shandong Satellite TV Lantern Festival and Bao Qingtian at the Henan Satellite TV Lantern Festival, through these opera programs, the audience can appreciate the elegance of opera in familiar tunes.

 

In addition, anhui tv’s comic dialogue "The Year of the Ox" combined with rap is novel and interesting, and Hunan Satellite TV’s antique program "Yuan Xi Jia Ren" combined with pop music and magic is also beautiful.

Thick history, culture meet the bright moon, absorb nutrients and imagination from traditional culture, and give spirit and vitality to modern life, which has become a way for all Lantern Festival parties to link the past and the present and condense their spirit.

 

Refine happiness and happiness and radiate to thousands of families.

Celebrate everyone’s style and tell small family stories. Many programs of the Lantern Festival on CCTV profile the happy life of ordinary people from the perspectives of marriage, family life and education.

 

The sketch "Rehearsal" of CCTV Lantern Festival aims at the collision of two generations’ views on marriage and love. Although there are many contradictions, fortunately, love regulates everything. Jiangsu Satellite TV Lantern Festival sketch "Li Waili 3" tells the story of parents’ education for their children through an "attempted" gift, starting with the most basic companionship.

Companionship also applies to children to parents. In the sketch "Dad’s Heart Disease" of Shandong Satellite TV’s Lantern Festival, the father who was afraid to go to the hospital for reexamination found the courage to face the unknown and illness in an encouraging "science fiction drama" directed by his children.

 

Hunan Satellite TV Lantern Festival Club has set up Malanshan Community Activity Center, a special section where local folk cattle people show their skills. Here, the audience can see celebrities who make musical instruments and play music with fruits and vegetables, instruct roosters to play the electronic organ, and play Song of the Smurfs just by closing their hands. This is a stage for people who love life, and at the same time, it pays tribute to every great ordinary person.

 

After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival also came to an end. A Lantern Festival party on CCTV set off the festive atmosphere, but also carried a deeper and more simple blessing to the country and people-the country is prosperous and strong, and everyone can feel the happiness around them to embrace spring and start the new year.
