2019年12月英語六級答案解析：試卷一長對話2

Long Conversation 2:

Woman: Are you watching any good shows these days?

Man: Actually, yes. I'm watching a great satire (Q5) called Frankie. I think you'd like it.

Woman: Really? What's it about?

Man: It's about a real guy named Frankie. He is a famous comedian in New York and shows a mixture of comedy and drama loosely depicting his life.

Woman: I'm sorry, do you mean to say, it's a real-life series about a real person? It's non-fiction, isn't it?

Man: No … Not really, no. It's fiction, as what happens in every episode is made up. However the lead role is a comedian by the name of Frankie, and he plays himself. So Frankie in both real life and in the TV show lives in New York City, is a comic, is divorced, and has two little daughters. All those things are true, but aside from him, all his friends and family are played by actors. And the plots and the events that take place are also invented.

Woman: Oh, I think I see now. That sounds like a very original concept.

Man: Yes, it is. In fact, (Q6) the whole show is written, directed, edited and produced by him, and (Q5)is very funny and has won many awards.

Woman: That's cool. I will try to download it. (Q7) I'm watching a comedy called The Big Bang Theory. It's a huge hit around the world.
