#1 is acceptable.

#2 isn't.

I know your English is better than this!
Even if we assume you forgot the word "show" (I watched a TV show) - what do you think "went out that life of interior designer" is supposed to mean? I can't believe you were the author of this attempt at a sentence.

Someone else tried to say 'appeared' with 1and I made a liberal translation with 2.

1. One day l watched a TV show (no comma required here) which dealt with the life of interior designers.

2. One day l watched a TV and went out that life of interior designer. The whole thing is a mess. You need to either remove "a" to leave "One day I watched TV" or add "show" to leave "One day I watched a TV show". "... went out that life of interior designer" is incomprehensible.

Does 1 sound natural? Is 2 incorrect? [strike]is a kind of wrong sentence.[/strike]

See my corrections above. I'm not sure what happened to your English in these posts. We all know you're capable of better.

Well, sentence 2 was such gobbledegook that I assumed it was a literal translation. Word-for-word translations frequently result in nonsense. The same can be said for Google Translate and similar.

I'm pretty sure I know what happened: keannu is having an off day. It's amazing how much my skills in French can vary depending on how I feel, and I very much doubt I'm the only foreign-language-learner to experience this.

Not a teacher.

The OP said he has always dreamed of becoming an interior designer. So here's my guess: He meant for the second sentence to be One day I watched a TV show about the life of interior designers and came out wanting to live that life.

Edit: totally missed the OP's last post. Sorry.

I think it should be One day I was watching TV and a show about the life of interior designers was being aired.

I think it would be better if the other users got their own accounts. It's very confusing to see a member's identity seem to change so dramatically.

Does this sound also natural?
1. One day l watched TV , where the life of interior designers appeared.or (and there appeared the life of interior designers)

"appeared" is not going to work here.


One day I watched a TV show about the life of interior designers.
