My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn’t remember ever watching it in the morning or afternoon. “When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels(頻道).

“Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a channel for everything.
