I enjoy watching television and often spend one or two hours watching it everyday. I sometime spend more time watching it at weekends. One of my favourite programmes is “Road to Mount Olympia.” It is always on  from 9 o’clock to 11 o'clock on VTV3 on Sunday. I like watching it because three competitors on each show are very intelligent. They are all advanced student from different schools. they have to answer several questions about general knowledge of natural and social sciences. Many questions are very challenging for me. I am interested in watching it but I don't think I am able to take part in the programme.
