　　Describe a TV program that makes you laugh.

　　You should say:

　　what the program is

　　what type of program it is

　　what content it has

　　and explain why it makes you laugh.

　　One TV program that never fails to make me laugh is a British sit-com called Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. It is a famous BBC Three comedy show filmed on just a handful of different sets in front of a live studio audience. So, sometimes, during very funny moments or when the actors make mistakes, the DVD actually features the audiences’ live laughter in the background. 中文：一个总是让我笑的电视节目是一个英国情景喜剧叫做Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps。这是一个有名的BBC三台喜剧节目在数量有限的场景下在现场观众面前拍摄。所以，有时，在一些非常有趣的时刻或者是当演员出现错误的时候，DVD事实上拍摄了观众的真实笑声。

　　The story revolves around a group of five young British adults as they navigate their way through the world. Only one of the characters has a good education, most of the others got jobs straight after graduating from high school aged just16. One guy doesn’t even have a job; he just relies on benefit money from the British government, paid by other people’s taxes. They all spend a lot of time drinking beer in the pub or hanging around at one character’s house, smoking, drinking tea, and talking about their problems. 中文：故事围绕着五个年轻英国成人导航穿过世界发生。只有一个人物有良好的教育，大部分的人有的16岁高中毕业后直接工作。一个人甚至没有工作，他只是靠英国政府福利救济，由别人的税收支付。他们都花大量的时间在酒吧里喝啤酒或在一个人的屋子里无所事事，抽烟，喝茶，谈论他们的问题。

　　TV programs like Two Pints of Lager fascinate me because they portray a very normal swathe of young people living very typical lives, but the writers manage to make their day-to-day life utterly hilarious. The socio-political satire about modern-day British life is what really tickles me. Once I start, I can’t stop laughing. 中文：像Two Pints of Lager的电视节目让我着迷，因为它们描述了一个很正常的年轻人非常典型的生活，但作者设法使他们的日常生活完全滑稽化。社会政治讽刺现代英国的生活是真的把我逗乐了。从一开始,我就笑得停不下来。
