Describe a TV or radio presenter you know about.

You should say:

  • who he/she is
  • what programme he/she presents
  • how he/she presents the programme

and explain why you like/dislike him/her.


 

Model Answer 1:
No doubt that TV is one of the most wonderful tools for entertainment in today’s world. But, it can’t do any wonder just by itself. It needs several performers and artists to actually make it work, and a TV presenter is one such performer who undoubtedly plays an important role in making things interesting for us. Anyway, today, I would like to talk about one such TV presenter whom I know and admire a lot.

The name of this TV presenter is Jon Stewart.  Being born in 1962, Jon Stewart started his career as a stand-up American comedian in 1993. Since then, he never really had to look back as his career as a TV personality only grew more and more popular among his audience while hosting shows like “The Daily Show” (an American late-night talk and news satire television programme, describing itself as a fake news programme).

The Daily Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often uses self-referential humour as well. The comedy Central, also an American pay television channel which is geared for mature audiences and carries comedy programming in the form of both original, licensed, and syndicated series, stand-up comedy specials, and feature films.

Jon Stewart, one of the most popular and prolific TV presenters of modern times in my opinion, also hosted a show called “The John Stewart Show”, which also was a late-night comedy show.  Anyway, Jon Stewart has his own way of presenting his shows, which seems so controversial and yet so articulate in substance and appeal.

Anyway, I like Jon Stewart, primarily because I have never really seen any other TV presenter or personality to bring the “truth” out in such satirical and cruel fashion. I also like the fact that when he presents his comedy, he somehow manages to keep his audience dead quiet in front of him with his extraordinary charm and wit.  I also like him because he is a multi-talented person. In fact, he is only a stand-out comedian but also a director, producer, writer and political commentator.


 

Sample Answer 2:
Radio channels, in general, use presenters or hosts more frequently than TV programmes in our country, and one such radio presenter whom I like very much is (…say a name…). He/she presents the weather updates every 2 hours on the ABC radio.

We, as listeners of the radio programmes, know very little personal information about the radio presenters, and the person I am talking about would be around 25 years old and is a full-time radio presenter. He/she presents the weather updates, which is a programme called ‘Weather Today’ and I find this programme very informative and interesting. The style of this presenter is quite unique and engaging.

Since he/she gives us weather updates, he/she mostly depends on the weather reports provided to him/her. But his/her style is so engaging that I find even learning about weather condition somewhat entertaining! For instance, if the weather forecast is a rainy day, she gives hilarious and practical tips on buying a good umbrella! His/her sense of humour makes the programme so popular.

I find his/her weather report interesting and informative. He/she even crack jokes that are hilarious and go with the forecast he/she gives to the listeners. That’s why I like this radio reporter very much. Sometimes I tune on to the ABC Radio channel to learn the updates of the weather, and sometimes to listen to practical jokes and tips he/she shares with us. He/she is an example of a great presenter who can make a boring topic like wealth updates so interesting
