Ứng dụng Grammar vào Speaking – Unit 13: The planets (Ngữ pháp: Past modal verbs)

I am really into learning more about our planet so I love watching documentaries on the topic. Even though I have quite a busy schedule, I try to watch them on the weekends. They are very entertaining and informative to me.

Yes, from time to time. The level of air pollution in Hanoi is quite high so the sky is overcast most of the time. However, whenever I come to the countryside, I can see the shining moon and stars. There was one time when the sky was so clear that me and my siblings could see a shooting star.

Yes, I do. Learning about the planet we live on is very important and exploring the other planets is very fascinating. Ever since I was a child, I have always been interested in understanding more about the Earth and the solar system as well. There were a lot of resources at school so I could freely learn about the topic. 

I’m going to talk about one of my favourite educational TV programmes, which is a  documentary called ‘Planet Earth’. There are several episodes in this programme, and each one features a different habitat on Earth, such as mountains, caves, deserts and jungles. It also showed us how the Earth was formed way back then.

I first saw ‘Planet Earth’ on television when it was broadcast years ago. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to the show. However the trailers were really eye-catching because they showed stunning images of nature. These trailers persuaded me to watch the first episode. After the first episode, I was so interested that I continued to watch the whole series. 

What I liked most about the ‘Planet Earth’ series was the photography, and by that I mean the epic scenes. They tell the story of the planet from when it was created from ash and rocks to now when it is a beautiful habitat for all living creatures. I was amazed at how they had managed to film in so many locations. I enjoyed learning about strange animal species, and the programme opened my eyes to the wonders of our planet. I would definitely watch more programmes similar to this in the future.
