Original:

I want to talk about the show called “The Good Wife”. I’m afraid it has seven seasons but I’m now I’m watching the season 2. It is about a law stories and the Mr Flock is a state attorney and he has some scandals. His wife is just under pressure of her husband’s scandals, but Mrs Flock chooses to be a strong woman and go to work at a law firm and she did very on his work. Every episode has one story. Normally the story is a sue which happened in the court. I like the drama because it’s about criminals. Lawyers in this drama are very clever to give you the truth about every case. The process of finding the guilty one is very interesting. The plot are very attractive, so that’s why I’m fond of it.

I want to talk about a show called “The Good Wife”. It has seven seasons but I’m currently watching the second one. It is about Mr Flock, a state attorney who has had some scandals, and his wife. Mrs Flock is under great pressure because of her husband’s scandals, but she chooses to be a strong woman and go to work at a law firm, where she did very well. Every episode tells a story about a different lawsuit, which the characters solve in court. I like the show because it’s about crime and the lawyers in it are very clever and always find the truth in every case, which is a very interesting process. The plot is very attractive, so that’s why I’m into it.
