Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hot lines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.

　 That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme.

　 Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about so the host has to tell the caller what the show is about Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(無知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. To let the listeners hear them they don’t care what the topic is, no matter whether they themselves are interested in it or how silly they appear to be.

I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn’t know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
