The television (TV) is part and parcel of many households. Therefore,
watching television is a culture of today’s modern society. It is a
favourite past-time of many people, cutting across the culture, creed,
gender and age. I must admit that I too enjoy “sitting glued” to the TV
as mum often laments. Since I watch TV whole day long, I don’t blame
mum. However, whenever I watch my favourite TV programme she doesn’t
complain. In fact, she often sits together to watch it, the ‘National
Geographic’.
The National Geographic
is a well-known documentary programme, focusing mainly on the
ever-changing world, on Mother Earth and on nature and peoples and
creatures that colour it with. Just the press of a switch and a button
and ‘Hey Presto!’, the whole world is brought before me, for me to
savour its beauty and wonders. Personally, I am often awed and amazed
with them.
I like this programme because it is very educational.
It is a ‘window to the world’. By watching it, I can ‘travel’, ‘explore’
and ‘discover’ the four corners of the world. I have trekked up the
highest peak and conquered Mt. Everest. I have dived down the deepest
trenches. I have walked through the wilderness and be amongst the wild
beasts, big and small. Thus, this programme has helped to expand my
horizon and improve my knowledge and experience. I can proudly say I am
no more a ‘frog in the well’.
I also enjoy watching the National
Geographic because it is entertaining, interesting and stimulating. I
never imagined that such an educational programme can be very enjoyable.
I get a chance to enjoy the kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and colours
of the world and its different peoples, all in the comfort of my own
home.
In addition to that, this programme is of very high quality
and it is produced by a team of experts, all are authorities in their
own field of interest. The photographic footage is extremely
breath-taking and inspiring. Besides, the narration is very accurate,
informative, vivid and descriptive. Thus, I have never felt restless,
distracted or bored watching this programme.
The National
Geographic is my favourite programme as it has helped me to ‘grow’ and
‘mature’. I have watched it since I was a seven-year-old innocent child.
Now, I am more sensitive and aware of the world and Mother Earth. I
learn to be more appreciative of Mother Earth and its beauty and
wonders. I am more concern about the preservation and conservation of
the world not only now but also for posterity. In short, the National
Geographic has converted me into a more responsible citizen of the world
and a caretaker of Mother Earth.
It is a touching and
heart-warming TV programme and I will not hesitate to recommend it to
others so that they too have a chance to savour amazing moments and
appreciate and care for the one and only world we live in.
