Summative assessment for the
unit “ Entertainment and media.” Grade 8.
The text: “Reality
TV.”
Reality TV has become one of
the most popular forms of entertainment worldwide. Many people love
watching reality shows because they feature ordinary people in
real-life situations. Contestants often try to win prizes or face
challenges while millions of viewers follow their every move. Some
shows are broadcast live, while others are pre-recorded and edited
before they air.
One well-known type of reality
show is the talent competition, where participants do their best to
impress the judges and audience. Contestants are gradually chosen
to stay or asked to leave the competition until a winner is
announced. Other shows focus on social experiments, where strangers
live together in a house, solve tasks, and deal with conflicts.
These shows often attract a lot of viewers because of the drama and
emotions involved.
Reality TV can also make
people famous overnight. Some contestants receive attention from
the media and become celebrities after appearing on a show.
However, being on reality TV is not easy; it requires hard work and
courage, as participants often face criticism from the
public.
