The document discusses the Chinese educational TV program "Lecture Room" which invites scholars to give lectures on various topics. It was popular for featuring lectures on subjects like biology, physics, economics, history and literature. Some memorable lecture series discussed the Three Kingdoms period and Dream of Red Chamber novel. The program also documented China's founding ceremony. The author believes the program is like the Chinese version of TED but focuses more on Chinese history and culture, which helped spread their charm and benefited the author's own knowledge.

1. My favorite Tv program
Well , I’ve never been absent a single day watching my best-loved
educational TV program named “Lecture Room” , which ,I suppose, is
familiar to most of Chinese people .
It is a popular TV program of China Central Television, mostly
featured on CCTV-10, which invites scholars to provide lectures on
various discipline. Well, In its early days, areas featured included
biology, physics, economics, history and literature and the likes, with
lecturers from around the world , and its focus has gradually changed.
You can’t miss some of the lecture series such as savouring the Three
Kingdoms by Yi Zhongtian , the Secrets of Dream of Red Chamber by
Liu Xinwu , ho,one last point what I highly recommend is the series
“Looking back at Founding Ceremony” which told the story of progress
of China and presented the formation of national flags , national
emblems and national anthem, also ,unfolded a picture of the
ceremony spot: ,I remember clearly,the people’s leader Mao Zedong
declared :”The Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic
of China has been founded!”, soon afterwards, the large-scale military
review was held in front of cheering crowds, what a proud moment!
So back to the program, you know , it’s like the Chinese version of
TED , however, the difference between them is that “Lecture Room”’s
recent programs have focused on Chinese history and culture, which
both are so splendid that , I believe, worth spreading, too. I myself
benefited a lot from it as well , I suppose without this TV program ,I
would not have tasted so much of the charm of China…
TV program 2
Firstly, for many of us the television is our first or only source of news
and current events. Most channels have news updates up to four
times a day and current affairs programmes which take a deeper look
at the news that has affected the world that day or week. Theses
programmes are often family friendly and are sometimes the only form

of English. These news shows keep people up to date on the outside
world it is possible to know everything that happened in a day without
even going outside. However these news shows can try and
monopolize people's opinions and be a bias to one political party or
one side of a war.
The final advantage is the vast amount of educational programming
available for viewing particularly on channels like the discovery
channel and national geographic which can educate and stimulate
people and wet every audience member's appetite. It is also the
fastest way to improve your knowledge and help you learn something
completely new. Where else can you learn about Marylyn Monroe and
Winston Churchill in the same afternoon? Many people who cannot
afford university or night courses or simply just want a basic
knowledge of one particular subject or event. Use documentaries to
quench their thirst for learning.

Firstly, News is the first beneficial aspect of television. For example,
people today need to watch the news to keep track of what is
happening with the war in Iraq. Also, news provides information on
weather, crime and many other news that are occurring around the
world. Another example is that news gives people information on
school closings and traffic before he or she may want to leave the
house. These are some reasons why news on television are
beneficial.
Entertainment is the second reason why television is beneficial.
Entertainment takes peoples minds away from the bad situations that
could be occurring in every day life. On the article "Friend or...
