Papi : Yiyi! Have you finish your homework?
Yiyi : Not yet, Papi. I am watching Ultraman!
Papi : What?! All you do is watch TV, watch TV. From noon, until now, almost dinner time, you know. Go take a bath and after dinner, go back into your room and study. Finish your homework also!
Yiyi : But I am learning right now. The government tells us to watch more TV.

Watch more TV, students toldI think they should be more precise lar. They should encourage watching TV for educational programs in English, or other TV programs with parent's supervision. And then encourage parents to spend some quality time with their children, watch some family shows or movies.
It looks like Aladdin's genie has granted schoolchildren their one big wish: To watch more television.
In a bid to get students to better grasp the English language, the Education Ministry is recommending they be allowed to watch more television.
The ministry is concerned over the "average" performance of students in Science and Mathematics taught in English for the past two years, and has devised several new strategies to counter the problem. One of them requires students to watch more television.....
