Model Essay 28-1
Nowadays radio and TV play a more and more important role in our daily lives.There are many programmes shown every day.Some of them are very good.My most favourite programme isThe Animal World,which is shown on television every Sunday night.
The programme is interesting as well as instructive.It providesus with natural scenes of the lives of all kinds of wild animals together with the vivid explanations of the narrator.Besides,the pictures are very beautiful and some of them are also very valuable.They contain much information not only about animals,but also about plants.
The reason why I like this programme is that,being born and bred in the city,I have not seen any wild animals,and the programme compensates for this.In addition,it provides me with rich knowledge about nature and the animal world.
Believe it or not,it is really a great joy to watch it.
