Sample at Band 7 Level
As far as I can remember, it was originally a UK TV Game Show, and it made its first debut in Vietnam around 10 years ago.
This was kind of a quiz show in which contestants have to go through a set of 15 questions with increasing difficulty. The first 5 questions are pretty silly really, and they always give me and my family a good laugh. Contestants are given 4 lifelines to aid them with difficult questions, and most of them are usually used up when the contestant reaches around question 7 or 8. The entire show is a sea of knowledge. Many questions from different fields are asked, ranging from trivial things like ingredients needed to make cookies to academic stuff like quantum physics and archeology.
You know, I’m quite an inquisitive individual, so during my high school years, I rarely skipped an episode. When the Internet became accessible in Vietnam, I also began watching the UK and US versions, and the knowledge gained from those shows proved to be extremely beneficial for me in many of my high school quizzes.
