*Translate into Vietnamese:

Một năm không TV

Bắt đầu từ tháng hai 2009, những chương trình truyền hình của tất cả các đài trên TV sẽ là bằng số, thay thế cho tín hiệu tương tự hiện tại. Với những người sử dụng truyền hình cáp hay vệ tinh, đây không phải là vấn đề, bởi vì sự thu của họ sẽ không bị ảnh hưởng. Nhưng với những người sử dụng tai thỏ hay ăng-ten ngoài trời thì sẽ không thể nhận được tín hiệu mới. Họ sẽ phải mua một bộ chuyển đổi cho mỗi cái TV, mỗi cái tốn 50$. Với Chris, chừng đó là quá nhiều.

Thay vào đó, Chris đơn giản sẽ bán rẻ hai cái TV của anh ta cho một cửa hàng tiết kiệm. Rồi anh ta sẽ đợi cho đến khi giá của bộ chuyển đổi xuống, và mua một cái khi được giá. Anh ta đặt hai cái TV vào trong xe hơi của mình.

Người phụ nữ trong cửa hàng tiết kiệm trước tiên thì chẳng thích thú gì. Cô ta thay đổi ý nghĩ khi anh ta nói chúng là TV 13", và chúng hoạt động rất hoàn hảo. Anh ta yên lòng khi cô ta chấp nhận chúng. Nếu mà cô ấy không nhận, anh ta phải đặt cọc chúng tại một cộng ty hàng thải nguy hiểm, điều này có nghĩa là xếp hàng hàng giờ, trong xe hơi để xong việc.

Chris về nhà trong tâm trạng rất tốt. Bây giờ anh ta sẽ hưởng thụ ít nhất một năm không có TV. "Chương trình truyền hình thằng ngốc" làm một cái tên hay cho sự lãng phí điện. Anh ta cảm thấy như là một con người mới vì đã từ bỏ hai cái TV của anh ta. Khi Donna gọi tối đó, anh ta kể cho cô ta nghe một cách tự hào về chuyện này. Donna, người mà tiếng mẹ đẻ là Trung Quốc, thì không vui.

"Anh có ý gì vậy, anh không có TV?" cô ta hét qua điện thoại. "Làm sao anh có thể dạy tôi bất cứ điều gì khi tôi gọi để hỏi anh về những từ vựng mới vào bản tin 11 giờ?" Cô ta định nói thêm vài câu nữa. Chris thở dài. Khi cô ta hết nói, anh ta hứa sẽ mua một cái TV bằng số mới ngay ngày mai.
