W. T. F?


Ituzaingó, May 3rd 2015.

Dear Mr President

                We are writing to present an idea for a new TV show. Our proposal consist of a weekly TV programme based on teens’ everyday life.

Ø  The name of the programme will be “W.T.F” (What The Fuck?)

Ø  The genre will be comedy/drama.

Ø  The setting will be located in a school where controvertial topics, which are appealing to teens, will be included  in each chapter. Some of them are sex, drugs, alcohol, love, pregnancy, etc…..

Ø  Each chapter will last an hour, including commercials, at 10:00 pm.

Ø  Every episode will contain a conflict which will be solved by the end of it.

Ø  The main characters will be performed by teenagers and the cast will be completed by well known adult actors and actresses.

After having made a deep research on TV programmes and on adolescents’ needs, we got to the conclusion that our TV channels  do not have programmes that really deal with teenagers´real life experiences and interests.

                                         Hoping to hearing from you soon.

                                                                                                             FUTURE COMPANY.

  1. Sorry but the passage "Each chapter will last an hour, including commercials, at 10:00 pm" is a bit confusing to me. When reading it I don't know if the commercials will be on air at ten or if the programme will last up to ten...

  2. You are right, it is a bit confussing. What we meant was that the programme will be at 10 on the air.

  3. Hi girls! I really liked the idea and the title is engaging too. Perhaps, I would have organized the information in a different way. The conclusion could be a great introduction as well! Because you are showing him "a problem" which is the lack of this kind of programmes and, after that, you immediately introduce "the solution to all evils" with your proposal. Moreover, I think that the three first points are the most important ones and I would expand a little more on them, especially on the plot (and the controversial topics) in order to convince him how appealing your idea is! The other points are not that relevant.

  4. I agree with you, we should have made a better effort to "sell" our project and the idea of the conclusion as an introduction is very good!

  5. "The main characters will be performed by teenagers and the cast will be completed by well known adult actors and actresses." Why did you make a difference between the teenager actors and the adult ones? I mean, are the teenagers actors not well know?

  7. Hey, what a title for a tv programme! The organization of the letter is a bit confusing to me. It looks more like a list than a letter. In my opinion, the arrows (or symbols) are not necessary. And as Camila said before, the conclusion would have been a great introduction, showing the "importance" of the programme.

  8. Hello. I think that the letter fulfils the intention of transmitting the idea for the programme. But, there are some sentences that may be confusing. For example, when you say: Every episode will contain a conflict which will be solved by the end of it. I think that it would be better to have an example of the conflict, otherwise the reader will feel the proposal as incomplete

  9. You are right, perhaps we failed in providing more detailed information or making it more catching...
