You ought to have fun when you study English. That way, you’ll want to spend more time using the language. One way to do this is to watch amusing TV shows in English.
Chuck is an action comedy TV series about a character named Chuck. One day Chuck receives a classified (机密) e-mail from an old friend who is working at the CIA. The e-mail contains an entire database filled with classified U.S. government information. Chuck is the kind of person who naturally commits large amounts of information to memory, and all of the spy secrets are accidentally embedded in his mind. So Chuck becomes the most important person to the government. As a result, Chuck hides his identity (身份) and works as a computer expert at a store called Buy More. There are two secret agents who protect Chuck from danger. To ensure his safety, they also take undercover jobs as his girlfriend and a store employee.

Mr Smith was ill and he went to see a doctor． The doctor asked him to put out his tongue（舌头）， and then he said， “OK， You can put your tongue back now． There’s nothing wrong with you， but I’m afraid you have a problem． You hardly ever take exercise．”
“But， doctor，” Mr Smith said， “I don’t think so．”
“Don’t tell me what you think，” the doctor said， “I know what you need． I see a lot of people like you． None of them goes any exercise． They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening． You must walk quickly for at least（至少）20 minutes a day．”
“I don’t want to hear any excuse（借口），” the doctor said． “You must find time for exercise． If you don’t， you will get fat and have health problems．”
“But I walk every day，” Mr Smith said．
