Read the email that David has sent to his friend Jeff and answer the questions.
| Hi Jeff
Do you remember Liza, my colleague (the attractive one)? I talked to her about cable TV and I can’t believe she is so excited about it. Her husband watches sports channels, her kids love some wildlife documentaries and she’s excited about some silly sitcom. And she also likes watching the news channels. I was wondering whether to get cable TV myself but from what she tells me I don’t think there is a single show I would really watch regularly. What do you think? It’s not very expensive but does it make any sense to pay for all those channels? Best David |
