Televisions were among the most talked-about things at CES 2013—the 2013 International Consumer Electronic Show (国际消费类电子产品展销会) last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were bigger and better with some of the highest technology (技术). Some TVs used a new technology called OLED. They were bigger, thinner and lighter, offered better colour and were brighter than traditional TVs using LED.
Ultra High Definition TVs were also popular. Most of the TVs shown on the exhibition used 4k technology.
Smart TVs this year were smarter. Many offered technology that users have a more personalized （个性化的）experience. One such TV from TCL can know who is watching with the help of new technology. Then it can offer programmes according to the user’s usual interest. Another TV from Panasonic offers a similar personalized user experience.
Size also played an important part in CES 2013. TVs changed in size from big to bigger, with at least two companies —Samsung and Hisense —showing TVs that are 110 inches large on the exhibition.
The yearly CES is the biggest technology show in North America and one of the biggest in the world.
It’s a meeting of the brightest minds and the top leaders from many industries and those who want to know about the future.
Digital health and fitness inventions were also big at CES 2013. There was even a fork that tells you when you are eating too fast.

My cousin Jacky's parents don't let him watch any TV from Monday to Friday. He can only watch TV for an hour every Saturday evening. He says he needs to watch TV. And he wants me to talk to his parents about it. What shall I say to his parents?
I shall tell them watching TV is good for students. Animal World is good for animal lovers. And watching TV news helps students learn about the world. I often watch CCTV-10. I can always learn something from it.
And I also need to tell them TV is fun. Students work hard at school. Watching TV can make them feel less tired. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So I often watch TV for half an hour every day.
I also want to tell them students can watch TV with their parents. After supper, I always sit in front of the TV set with my parents and we chat with each other. That makes children and parents closer.

Over the years, we also exchanged of our families and gifts. In 1988, I married (与……结婚) Alan. Michele sent me a watch. When my first child Lindsey was born in 1991, she sent me a nice dress. After Duncan and Robert were born, I received a toy bear and a nice book about how to take care of children from her.
In June, 2013, I flew to France to meet Michele and we spent a very happy week together. I thought of staying for another week but Alan called me because Robert was ill (生病的). So I had to come back.
After I came back to England, I keep the habit of writing to Michele every month as usual.
