Hi,

Let me make some questions and hope you would offer me better ones or correct them if needed.

Thank you in advance.

1. How many hours do you listen to the radio a day?

2. Who listens to the radio for the longest hours in your family?

3. How many more hours does your brother, Sam, listen to the radio than your cousin, Paul?

4. How many hours a day do you watch television?

5. Who spends the most hours watching television in your family?

Who watches televsion for the most hours?

6. How many more hours does Sam spend watching television than Paul?

Also, if you want to tell a group of people to watch television as an instruction, how would you say it?

a) Hi, guys, please look at the television.

b) Hi, guys, please look at television.

Who watches television for the most time? ['Hours' is oddly limiting, and may not be appropriate to the answerer]

6. How much more time does Sam spend watching television than Paul?

Also, if you want to tell a group of people to watch television as an instruction, how would you say it? -- ['Hi guys...' is not an instruction]

a) Please look at the television. (turn your attention to the TV monitor)

b) Please watch television. (perform the activity)
