It means that real-life people, not actors, are followed and filmed in a real situation, or game. Reality TV is very popular in the UK. At their best, these programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. At their worse, they are a very cheap way to make programmes and sometimes involve people behaving very badly. Here’s a selection of some of the UK’s reality shows. Shattered A group of young people live in a house for a week and must stay awake. Each day there are tests to see how well they can work even though they are totally tired out. They must leave the house if they fall asleep. Viewers (观众) vote on those who stay in the house and text their comments (评论) every day. Come to Dine with Me Each week four people prepare dinner in their homes for the other competitors.  Each competitor then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food and entertainment (娱乐). The winner gets a $1,000 cash prize. Sometimes the food is terrible and the competitors are very rude to each other. World’s Strictest Parents Badly-behaved British teens are sent abroad to live with a super strict family for a week. The teenagers have to follow the rules of their host family and go to the local school. After seven days the teenagers return home and their parents tell us if their behavior is better.

B 7 January, 2014 A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China. These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier. On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year. The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(专家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students. "Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America. "We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice." Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students. Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason. "The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students." Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report.
