My Favourite TV-ChannelМой любимый канал по ТВMy name is Ilya and I’m 14 years old. I study at the 8th grade of a secondary school. My timetable is overloaded sometimes, but I find time to do the things that I like. When I’m free, I read an interesting book, listen to music, meet up with friends or go cycling around the lake. When I want to learn something new about the world, I turn on the TV. My favourite channel is Discovery. I watch this channel since childhood and I must say that thanks to it my perception of the world became richer. I’ve learned many interesting things, connected with science, technology and history. In fact, Discovery comes in many different languages. So, when I want to improve my listening skills I watch it in English. This channel was launched in 1985 in the USA. Originally it consisted only of documentary programs about popular science. However, later it expanded into reality television and soon it became one of the best channels of non-fiction programming in the world. Apart from series of scientific documentaries the channel has several programs aimed at younger audience. Today, Discovery is watched in 170 countries across the world. It’s a commercial channel, so we pay for a monthly fee for having it. In my opinion, such channels are not only entertaining, but highly educational. Unfortunately, I’m allowed to watch TV for no longer than three hours a day. All I get to see is just a couple of programs. My favourite ones are “How it’s made” and “MythBusters”.
