As a senior high school student, I am very busy with my studies. Although I am very fond of watching television, I can only spend an hour after dinner on my hobby. Of all the TV programs, I like the news and documentaries best.
The news programs shown on all TV channels at 7:00 p.m. help me to know almost everything about different places in our country and important events happening all over the world. Through these programs, I can also know about the main national and international sporting events.
The documentary programs at weekends are my favorites. By watching them, I can learn a great deal about human civilizations, the wonders of nature and the amazing inventions and discoveries of great people in the world.
Watching television is my hobby. I cannot imagine a day in my life without watching it.
Nowadays, TV is a popular entertainment tool which is favored by all people around the world. With a television connected to some channels such as K+, VTC, MTV, we can easily access available programs that surely matches our own hobbies. In terms of my interests, I concern about life of wild animals, and like the beauty of nature in remote places, as well as want to improve my English skills by listening to records spoken in English; therefore, “Discovery” seems to be the most favorite TV program to me.
In the first place, usually watching “Discovery” will help us to have wide knowledge about wild nature in all over the place because this television program centers on the life of a variety of wild animals ranging from lions in Africa, polar bears in Antarctic to bats living in large caves in South Asian. Moreover, most of scenes in documentary films in “Discovery” are produced with the maximum supports from modern devices, so audience can have general but clear views about what is going on in today’s life of animals, accomplished with their habitat. For example, in a current program, I watched a film about the bald eagle in United States and know valuable information relating its development. In 1782, it is estimated that there were as many as 75000 nesting pairs in North American. By the early 1960s, however, the numbers of nesting pairs had been reduced to only around 450. It is due to the abusing pesticide in farming. I had never thought that pesticide could do harm on the eagle until I watched that film. Therefore, in this case, Discover is really a helpful source to provide the audience with knowledge about what humans should or should not do to the wild animal world.
Besides, “Discovery” deserves to be one of the best TV program for people to improve their English skills, especially listening skills. English in “Discovery” is spoken with a moderate speech, so it is easy to follow the current of the program. Moreover, two additional factors make me think that this program is suitable for people with all of levels of English master is that, first, noise caused by activities of animals in the films does not disturb a lot their dialogue, and second, the dialogue is attached to images and scenes. These help audience with high level of using English can understand the content of films without focusing on watching the TV screen, and help people at the beginning period of studying English to be familiar with the English sounds.
In conclusion, watching TV for rest or for updating knowledge and helping positively our study is a good habit and content of today’s TV programs tends to be close this demand. Among such TV programs, “Discovery” is the one I like very much. Hopefully, you watch this program one time and have same experience like mine.
