My favourite TV programme
by Ivana Jakovljevic from Lingva
Almost everybody likes watching TV. People usually spend two-three hours a day in front of their TV set. That isn’t healthy, but now we can’t imagine life without this gorgeous device.
Everybody has their favourite programme. Old people like to watch 1st RTS channel because of the News at 7 30 PM.
My favourite TV programme is “Travel Channel”. Its name says what it is about. I like travelling, but my country is small and not rich at all so we cannot afford visiting many foreign countries. But sitting in front of my TV set I can travel around the world. “Travel Channel” is very interesting. It presents us many countries, different nationalities and what their way of living. I like geography, and it helps me to learn easier, too. Here, I can watch countries where I have never visited, and where I won’t go, but I would like to.
Although watching TV is my favourite pastime because there is always something interesting to see, I think that people should spend less time watching it.
