If my memory serves me well, I watched a documentary about nature last week at midnight when all my family members fell asleep but I didn’t. Actually that documentary was in English and I tried to get all the benefit out of it like learning new words, phrases, items, learning how to use new structure. As for the documentary, it illustrated wildlife in the tundra and provided a lot of information about how the extreme harsh climate of the tundra affects the animals and the strategies that creatures out there applied to survive. This information is crucial for their lives. To be honest, I didn’t learn a lot of new words, only a few like hibernation and I learned that the dominant predator in the tundra is a polar bear which hibernates for about five to six months per year. During that time, the creature will sleep completely.
