Watch it, don't be afraid

When exam is around the corner, parents tend to restrict their children from watching TV, their favourite shows. In every parent’s mind, memorising all the facts is the most important thing to do. Have they ever wonder how stressful that can be, how much pressure it exert on the poor child? I bet the answer will be no.

I can't restrict myself from watching TV daily. It's a must to watch all my favourite shows. :D I can't be sitting in my room and study 24/7. Taking a rest helps to rejuvenate my body and brain. A deep breath and light exercise will be good too! You can choose to take a bite or a cold drink in the meantime.

I personally think that there's nothing wrong in watching. You are still gaining knowledge, improving your language and other necessary skills which also depend on what you are watching. Even cartoons or animations are beneficial. They bring positive messages. Korean, Japanese, Taiwan or Chinese drama is equally good. Many skills can be learned from here besides the textbook which is full of facts, texts and silly elaborations which I don’t know why they have to be in there. Probably to make the book thicker and look as if it’s full of useful information but actually there isn’t. Some are just short notes and questions with no answers to it. So, where can we find those answers? Very simple! In revision books which involves money. Can all the students afford a RM20++ book each subject? Let say, we have a minimum of 3 subjects that is RM20 X 3 = RM60. It’s a pretty large amount already for poor families.

Watch TV while you can!
