Who’s Got Talent?
Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented. It’s always interesting to watch other people show their talents. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First, there were shows like American Idol and American’s Got Talent.
All these shows have one thing in common: They try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? That’s up to you to decide. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.
However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up. For example, some people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors. But if you don’t take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.

Language points
1.Who’s Got Talents? 誰(shuí)是達(dá)人？
此句中who’s為who has的縮寫。have got表示“具有；具備之意，相當(dāng)于have。此句字面上的意思是“誰(shuí)有才華？”如：
► Have you got time? I’ve got something important to tell you.
你現(xiàn)在有空嗎？我有重要的事要告訴你。
► We’ve got a lot of work to do, you see, to make our town more beautiful. 你們瞧，我們要把我們的城市變得更加美麗的話，是有很多工作要做的。
2. All these shows have one thing in common.
所有這些節(jié)目有一個(gè)共同點(diǎn)。
(1)common是名詞，意為“與……相同”。
常用句型：in common with sb/sth有兩個(gè)意思：
①與某人（某事物）一起。
► In common with many others, she applied for a training place.
②像某人（某事物）一樣。
► You are in common with me.
(2)have …in common意為有相同特征；想法、興趣等方面相同。
► Their views have much in common with mine.
他們的觀點(diǎn)和我的相同。
3. That’s up to you to decide. 那由你自己來決定。
在英語(yǔ)中，be up to somebody是一個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)，用來表“由某人做出抉擇”，句子的主語(yǔ)通常為it，有時(shí)也用this或that。如：
► You can join the club once or twice a week — it’s up to you.
你可以一周參加一次或兩次俱樂部的活動(dòng)—這由你定。
► How much should he pay? That’s up to him to decide!
他應(yīng)該付多少錢？那完全由他來決定。
► It will be up to you to decide which one you want to use.
這取決于你想用哪個(gè)。
► I can tell you that the question will come up, but the outcome will be up to you.
我只能夠告訴你這個(gè)問題將出現(xiàn)，而結(jié)果如何取決于你。
4. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner.
play a role是一種固定表達(dá)， 意為“扮演某一角色；起到某種作用”。若要進(jìn)一步引出具體的內(nèi)容，后面應(yīng)該用介詞in，表示“在某事或某個(gè)方面起到作用或承擔(dān)某種角色”。
► John is playing the leading role in this year’s play.
今年的演出中約翰是主角。
► Schools play the most important role in education.
學(xué)校在教育中起著最為重要的作用。
5. However, if you don’t take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch.
take在此處有consider (認(rèn)為；覺得)的意思。take someone/something seriously就相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)“認(rèn)真對(duì)待某人或某事；把某人或某事當(dāng)真”的意思。如：
► He was joking, but your sister took him seriously.
他是在開玩笑，但你姐姐卻當(dāng)真了。
6.For example, some people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors.
辨析：for example與 such as
for example 作插入語(yǔ)，后面的舉例常為句子。并用逗號(hào)隔開，可位于句首、句中或句尾。
eg.Noise,for example,is a kind of pollution.
such as 用來列舉同類人或事物中的幾個(gè)，其后只能是單詞或短語(yǔ)且不用逗號(hào)。
eg.I like drinks such as tea and soda.
7.Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.
此處be made up為被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，意為“被編造”。
eg：He often makes up stories.
The teacher asked the students to make up a sentence using the word creative.
