Many people like watching TV in their free time. It’s one of my favourite pastimes too. However, I try not to spend a lot of time in front of the screen. I usually watch music channels, new and interesting films, funny cartoons and educational programs. I’d like to tell you a little bit about my favourite TV program. It’s an informative show called “Galileo”. It is named after a famous scientist Galileo Galilei, who liked making experiments. I watch this program regularly and try not to miss the next issue. It is usually shown at weekends. Each time the presenter of the program Alexander Pushnoy explains different phenomena of nature and shows amazing experiments. Most of all I like the part with these experiments. In my opinion, “Galileo” show is interesting not only for children but also for adults. Not every adult knows seemingly obvious facts. For example, why the sky is blue, why the sugar is sweet, how the paste is colored in tubes. This program can surprise even the most skeptical spectator. Usually each edition contains five different stories and experiments. Together with the presenter you can travel to distant places and even transfer in time. The “Galileo” team has several special agents, who conduct the experiments at scientific laboratories, factories and plants. Sometimes they travel into past or future. Some episodes are shot in foreign countries, such as Japan, the USA, Ukraine, etc. My favourite program ends with the words “The world is more interesting than you think”. I absolutely agree with this statement and I always recommend my friends to watch “Galileo”.
Not long ago, all the knowledge of a person receives from the books. Books to read at any age. What now? Books to read less and less, especially the younger generation. Why? And because no reason. All the knowledge you can now search for a variety of electronic encyclopedias and on the Internet. This is faster and more convenient. While you read a book, and will choose the right information on the Internet, you can view multiple sites and get more information. But is it good? Not really, I guess. People stop to read the scientific books, the classics this leads to a decrease in the level of knowledge. It remains more free time and can play on the same computer, chat, t. E. Spoil the final vision and posture. Instead of walking and sports.
