On most evenings in Britain, you can watch a reality TV

programme. There isn't a script, actors or a story but there

are real people who are followed by cameras, lighting and

recording teams for a week, a month or even longer.

One programme which was on TV earlier this year was

called Frontier House. In this programme, three American

families spent one summer living as settlers used to do in

the nineteenth century. Settlers' lives were very hard so it

was a difficult test for modern people. For example, they

had to build wooden houses, grow food, catch fish and

raise animals.

The twenty-first century families had gone to Montana

expecting to work hard, but it was even more difficult than

they had thought to keep themselves clean, fed and warm.

They had to carry every litre of water that they needed

and, of course, they couldn't go to the supermarket when

the kitchen cupboard was empty.

The families returned to their twenty-first century lives at

the end of the summer. They had all had an unforgettable

experience and learned a lot about how settlers used to

live more than one hundred years ago.
