Notting

(1999) is a

comedy
,
that stars
English
actor Hugh

American
actress
Julia

Il' s directed by Roger Michell and it was a huge box
office success. In the film, bookstore owner William
Thacker (played by H ugh Grant) falls in love with
glamorous supersta r Anna Scot! Oulia Roberts) and
starts a relationship with her. But the big question is,
can it last? With an excellent soundtrack and a wellwritten script, the film has some great moments. It's
shot on location in Notting Hill (London). and I'd
definitely recommended it.

or years, experts have been predicting
that people wilt watch less and less TV.
However, recent research shows that it's
F
actually more popular than it was ten years
ago. But why?
Some of the facts are truly surprising. They
show that American teenagers actually watch
5% more TV now than they did five years ago.
Also su rprising is the fact that US adults
watch far more online video than their teenage
children. Teenagers spend about three hours
a month watching online 1V compared to the
five and a half hours spent by young adults (18
to 24-year-olds).
Interestingly, Americans are using their
televisions to watch live TV rather than DVDs
or ontine programming. In fact, 92% of
American TV viewing is for live programmes
(particularly news shows). While 32% of US
homes own a DVD recorder, only about half of
them use it to record programmes.
There were some interesting results on
advertising, too. They found that teenagers
are 31% less likely to remember an ad than
an adult. However, teenagers appear to like
advertising more. In fact. once an ad has
caught their attention, they' re 44% more likely
to remember it than an older person.
So, how much television are they watching?
American teenagers sit in front of the TV
for about three hours and 20 mi nutes a

equivalents in Italy, Poland, lebanon , Ireland.
Indonesia and Venezuela ... and considerably
less than the world's leading teen couch
potatoes: the South Africans, who spend over
five hours a day in front of the bm:!
And what are people wa tching on TV?
Research suggests that teenagers and adults
like a lot of the same shows, which include
dramas such as House, and talent contest
shows such as American Idol. However,
teenagers d on't watch as much sport o r
current affairs programmes (such as the
news) as their parents.
Over in the UK, the most popular shows
include Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor.
In fact, the final of The X Factor attracted the
most viewers for a si ngle show in 2010, with
over 17 million people watching it. Reality
shows such as I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out
of Hue are often in the top 10, as are d ra mas
such as the long-running soa p operas
EastEnders and Coronation Street. Finally,
sport pulls in a big crowd . Apparently, 17
million people watched England get beaten
by Germany in the 2010 World Cup. More
than those who watched the final!
So, it looks as if the future of television is
safe. However, although there are more
channels than ever, the question remains:

We can also use the Present Continuous la refer

We can use the Present Continuous for future plans,
often at a fixed time and with a specific person. For
