2- Access to Satellite ...

Access to satellite and Internet television does more harm than good.

Many people have strong feelings about the value of television, especially now that programmes are available through satellite and over the Internet. There are those who suggest that increased access to these programmes does more harm than good. However, there are those who insist that it is a good thing.

There are three main advantages of using satellite and Internet television. Firstly, the satellite and Internet television gives people access to programmes around the world and an opportunity to learn about other cultures. The satellite television in Malaysia is called Astro. One of the Astro package is for learning. It has five channels such as Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Discovery Science, History Channel and Animal Planet. These five channels are in English. With these five channels, we can learn not only English but also knowledge and science. Secondly, there are a lot of programmes is available in satellite and Internet television. We can find our favorite music, sports, movies and documentary channels in there. The most common Internet television, Youtube, has all kind of videos. People around the world share their favorite music videos, sports, movies and documentary video through Youtube. The comments under each of the video also give us a variety of ideas and opinion of the video. Thirdly, the television programmes in other languages can support our language. We learn new words very quickly from television. For English movies, we can improve vocabulary and sound of the words by listening.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of using satellite and Internet television. In the first place, people may have access to programmes with unsuitable content. For example, the channel in Astro may have violent action that is not suitable for children. There is a service for parents to lock the channel that is not suitable for children. Kids today are intelligent. To them who born in this technology world, switching channel and unlocked password are very simple for them. Not only children but also young adult may have access to programmes with unsuitable content. In addition, the rising of television programmes give a sense of encouraging people to watch more television. Most of the people in the world especially in the city spend most of their time with television and I believe that every house will have at least a television. Spending too much time on satellite and Internet television will cause less time for outdoor activities. This will cause addiction to television and will cause health problem because lack of exercise. Lastly, although we can learn faster by watching television every day, but some of the programmes may not be culturally appropriate. For example, some of the English movies have sex scene and violent scene that is illegal in Malaysia. With the Internet television, Malaysian can watch any scene that had been censored in the satellite television.

In my opinion, I think satellite and Internet television is good for me because I gain knowledge from the television. I also agree that television have disadvantages but it is depends on the person himself to gain knowledge or not.

2-An Answer for Mary

These are things that individuals can do to help the environment. Firstly, people can switch off all the lights and fans in the house when there is no body using it. This will help to save energy and electricity. Secondly, people can save the trees by using less tissues. For example, I will split my tissue paper into 3 pieces to use. Usually I will use tissue to wipe my mouth after meal; therefore I think a thin piece of tissue is enough. Thirdly, one can bathe quickly and use less water so that it will save water and energy. Lastly, planting trees outside the house can also help to save the environment. For instance, I will not cut the tree outside my house so that the temperature in my house will be lower and I can save energy for not using the air-conditional. Today's wastage is tomorrows shortage so start now saving the earth for tomorrow before it is too late.

Me Personal Statement - Angeline

Angeline, good to see you using the blog. Sorry, the comments button not working so I'm posting a new blog for you!

You've paragraphed well and sorted your information sensibly. However, think about what kind of information you want to tell them. First and foremost, you need to SELL yourself for this course. So all the things that you have done that will help you on the course should be given more importance, such as your ballet, piano and rhythmic gymnastics because these are performing arts. Your achievements in these show that you can perform well in front of others and be disciplined and committed enough to practise so that you succeed, despite what you say in your first 2 paragraphs!

There's no need to say what the course covers as they know their course but you could say which parts of the course interest you the most and why.

It would be much better to start with something positive in your personal statement. 'An introverted person' has negative connotations. Mention some of your positive characteristics and give examples of things you have done that demonstrate these.

You could say that you successfully made a short clip and found it really satisfying and that now you would like to challenge yourself further by making better and more complicated short movies. If you say 'I tried' it sounds like you didn't do it very well!

The phrase you need is, 'I know that if I don't apply for this course, I will regret it for the rest of my life.'

I like your idea about using arts to change people's moods, move them and stir their emotions, and to connect with people. Perhaps I wouldn't have mentioned tears - again they have negative connotations.

It's good to mention your future plans. How about linking them more to the course, such as moving abroad to explore how artistic genres compare in different countries?

I'm sure you have a lot of great things to say about what you have done and your character. You need to be really positive and confident and sell yourself more.

If you fancy doing a redraft, I'll have a look at it for you.

See you in class!
