影视推荐｜想象一下有八个儿子的生活

How would you feel if you were surrouned by eight sons all day long?

The American TV series that I'm going to recommend is a new one. It tells a story about a family with eight kids living in the 1970s, with the depression being the social background.

    家庭题材的美剧一直都是比较令人喜欢的。Unlike Chinese ones that focus on relationship between mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws（婆媳关系）,this one is more of a comedic thing.

当热啦，看美剧肯定还是可以学英语哒~

The play is definitely to be continued...（未完待续）
