Actually, I was thinking about this lately, you, uh, know, ah, there is a tv program called the sea marvels. Um, it was going on national, um, geographic Dubai thing I watched last year. But, uh, it was made out of eight episodes, I think, or something like that. Eight to ten. I don’t remember actually the exact number of episodes. But, um, it was very, very valuable for my work. You see, uh, I work with kids. They are almost six years old. And they are very interested in all things related to sea mammals. Dolphins, octopuses, um, sharks and all kinds of creatures who live in the seabed. And um, additionally, it was talking about the effects of global warming on sea life or marine ecosystems, to be more exact. Actually, um, it was more than interesting. It captures my mind. It captured my mind straight away. And um, you know, uh, it wasn’t the kind of programs that just keep saying and delivering information without giving any kind of um, examples or uh, with giving sophisticated or complex, uh, educational vocabulary or expressions. Actually, it was very easy to follow. It was, um, um, targeting those kind of audiences were not, um, scientific, uh, professors, you know, they are more of amateurs like me. Uh, amateurs like me. And um, uh, actually, I just want to, uh, reatch it again. I? Ve just remembered this now that I can rewatch it again for one more time. As my class of students now, um, they are new students, they are interested in the same, uh, subject. So, uh, it would be very beneficial, um, to just watch the old episodes again and, uh, gain more information from it.

Recently, I was thinking about a fascinating TV program called 'Sea Marvels.' I watched it last year on National Geographic, the Dubai channel. It was a series, I believe, with eight or ten episodes, though I can't recall the exact number. It was incredibly valuable for my work, as I teach young children, almost six years old. They are captivated by sea mammals – dolphins, octopuses, sharks, and all sorts of creatures that inhabit the ocean floor. The program also discussed the impact of global warming on marine life and ecosystems. It was more than interesting; it truly captivated me from the start. It wasn't one of those programs that simply bombard you with information without providing examples or using complex scientific vocabulary. It was easy to follow, designed for audiences like me, who aren't scientific experts but rather enthusiasts. I'm actually eager to rewatch it. Now that I think about it, I can revisit the episodes with my new class of students, who share the same interest. It would be incredibly beneficial to watch it again and gain further insights.
