Ⅸ. Language points
1. Who’s Got Talent? 谁是达人？
此句中who’s为who has之缩写。have got表示“具有；具备”之意，相当于have。此句字面上的意思是“谁有才华？”
e.g. Have you got time? I’ve got something important to tell you. 你现在有空吗？我有重要的事要告你。
2. Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented.
everybody pron. 每人；人人；所有人
不定代词，相当于everyone，作主语时当单数看，谓语动词用单数形式。
3. Talent shows are getting more and more popular.
◆get在此处作系动词，意为“变得”。如：
We must go now. It’s getting late.
◆more and more popular表示“越来越受欢迎”。“more and more + 原级(部分双音节和多音节形容词或副词)”或“比较级(单音节和部分双音节形容词或副词) + and + 比较级(单音节和部分双音节形容词或副词)”结构表示“越来越……”。如：
The story gets more and more exciting.
Your English is getting better and better.
【运用】根据汉语意思完成英语句子，每空词数不限。

4. That’s up to you to decide.
be up to由……决定；是……的职责
在英语中，be up to somebody是一个习惯用语，用来表示“由某人做出抉择”，句子的主语通常为it，有时也用this或that。
e.g. You can join the club once or twice a week— it’s up to you.
5. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner.
人们看这样的节目时，通常承担着要评判优胜者的角色。
play a role是一种固定表达，意为“扮演某一角色；起到某种作用”。若要进一步引出具体的内容，后面应用介词in，表示“在某事或某个方面起到作用或承担某种角色”。
e.g. John is playing the leading role in this year’s play.
今年的演出中约翰是主角。
Schools play the most important role in education. 学校在教育中起着最为重要的作用。
6. However, if you don’t take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch.
但是如果你不把这些节目太当回事，它们还是有看头的。
take在此处有consider(认为；觉得)的意思。take someone/something seriously就相当于汉语“认真对待某人或某事；把某人或某事当真”的意思。
e.g. He was joking, but your sister took him seriously.
他是在开玩笑，但你姐姐却（把他）当真了。
7. … that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.
give v. 提供；给
常用词组：give sb. sth. / give sth. to sb. 给某人某物
