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
