在五月的新题当中，这一个话题应该算是很变态的了，没有事先的准备相关素材，单纯靠语言功底，不太可能在考试中正常发挥自己的实力。(雅思的考官大爷，口口声声只针对语言能力的你们，究竟是要闹哪样?)

Raking my brains like crazy for much longer than 1 minute, hardly anything come to my mind. 似乎小的时候看得最接近教育类电视节目的是中央1台的大风车，还有一个中央9台的希望英语. 不过，实在是没什么印象和值得说的，并且觉得比较low。所以本着一点崇洋媚外的心态，找了一个米国的洋货，而且还是很历史悠久并具有国际影响力的哦。它就是芝麻街，其实广大已经长大了的孩子们，现在去看看，也不嫌迟的。在itune里有免费下载。

Maybe I’m not its primary target audience, but once when I googled and try to find some great stuff about preschool education, it is high up there, the Sesame Street.

Sesame Street is a long-running American children’s television series which is much older than me. The program is known for its educational content, and images communicated through the use of Muppets, animation, short films, humor, and cultural references. Most American preschoolers had watched the series by the time they were three years old, and the first patch of audience are now well into their 50s. So now it is not just a show for kids, but also for parents and even grandparents. Because it makes they remember when they were young, they watch the clip and think of all of times they watched it they we were kids. Sesame Street really has been around a long time.

Sesame Street has not maintained its success simply by being a really good television show; it has branded itself as the epitome of good, wholesome, educational television for children -- television that parents can rely upon to instill knowledge and good moral values in their children. Some kids are drawn to particular characters. Some enjoy music and rhythm. Some enjoy humor. The producers create a vast array of bridges, which is between kids and something they'd like to know more about. Then each kid picks which bridges work for them. Many kids are taught how to read very well and long before kindergarten.

It is optimistic. It is fun. It is smart. It respects its audience. On one level, it's place where sunny days are sweeping the clouds away.

首先开门见山，其次交代背景和内容，再次讲影响及评价，最后潇洒明快结束。中间两部分是为主体，最为关键，语言丰富性全部应该在此展示。开头部分尽量写实，显得客观，最后结束时，尽量抒发自身感受，显得感性，使主体部分得到升华。

口语中描述电视节目，其实跟写作中探讨电视或者说电视广告对人或者更具体点对儿童的影响，可以说是相映成辉，这就提醒了广大备考小伙伴们，多多思考同一个题材如何被运用于写作和口语中，如何可以比较好的切换写作词汇和口语词汇。也就是，写作和口语的素材准备可以一起进行。
