GOING ON A GAME SHOW
One of my aunt Jean’s biggest dreams became a reality last week. She had always wanted to be a contestant
on a game show called Money for thing because she says the presenter is very handsome. With more than
five million viewers a week, it is also the most popular game show on Television. She applied to be on this
show and was accepted. She was very excited and, when the big day came, she went to television studios
very early and she met the producer of the show. When the show came on TV, I couldn’t imagine her
feelings about being there, but at home we were all anxious. She didn’t look at all nervous and in the end
she won £ 10,000 and a car!
