WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
One of the most popular quiz programmes on television in the world is called Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire? In Britain, the quiz master is Chris Tarrant. He asks the contestants fifteen questions. The
first questions are easy but later they are more difficult. If you answer the fourteenth question
correctly, you can win £500,000. You can win a million pounds if you can answer the last question. Of
course, it is very difficult to come to the last question.
All the questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? are multiple-choice questions. After you hear
the question, you see four answers. Only one answer is correct. You have to choose the correct
answer. If you don’t know the answer to a question, there are three ways you can get help: you can
ask the quizmaster to take away two wrong answers; you can ask the studio audience which answer is
right; or you can telephone a friend and ask for help. You can only do these things once. Very few
people win the million pounds. The first person won a million pounds one year after the programme
started.
Today, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, can be seen in more than 100 countries and is now the

Television watching influences children a lot. American children often spend from three to four
hours a day watching TV. Some of them spend more time watching television than studying in the
classroom. While television can entertain and inform our children of news and real knowledge, it may
also influence them in bad ways. Time spent on watching television takes away their important
activities such as reading books, playing outdoor sports, doing homework, having family gatherings
and developing social skills. Children can also learn incorrect or inappropriate information from
television. If children watch TV a lot, they may have lower grades at school, read fewer books and do
less exercise or even be overweight.
