Soap Opera - Culebrón
We call them soap operas because these television programs are on in the afternoon and most of the commercials are for soap—soap for washing clothes, soap for washing dishes, soap for washing your body, and shampoo.
"Extr@
is the story of Bridget and Annie, Hector and Nick, four good-looking
19-22 year olds who are thrown together to play out their romances, life
crises and contrasting interests in a familiar sitcom setting.
The two girls share a flat in London and Nick is their neighbour. When
Hector, with only a very basic grasp of English, comes to visit,
everything starts to go wrong. Or right! His efforts to get to grips
with the language provide the central dynamic for the series and its
language learning content.
On the first episode, Bridget, a fitness enthusiast, receives a letter
from her old pen friend in Argentina, Hector, saying that he plans to
visit her. When Hector arrives, at first he doesn't look very attractive
and the girls decide that Hector can't stay with them. That is, until
he emerges from the shower! Nick discovers that Hector comes from 'one
of the richest families in Argentina', but Hector is determined to keep
it a secret. Now, both Nick and the girls are very keen for him to stay (they want him to stay)!
