Republican political _______ Sarah Palin put it more snappily: “People are _____ at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who ______ mom jeans.”

A sample for picture description

This photo is a really special one. As I see it, it transmits (átad) lots of energy, happiness and calmness as well as fun and positive example. I think this is because of the woman, who is a well-known person, the former first lady’s inspirational appearance.

Michelle Obama is standing in the middle of this photo between 2 funny and colorful puppets. She is smiling because she loves the puppets and they made her day. The earlier first lady is wearing a simple but really elegant dress that is pink and red. Her hair is black, long and curly. I like her style as it is low-key (visszafogott), yet very peculiar and fine (elegáns).

The puppets are from a popular show called Sesam Street that is broadcast on TV. Maybe they are hosting an interview for a TV channel. Right now they’re greeting each other with a big smile and a hug.

This program has been shown since the 1960s, and I’m sure it is not only for children. However, it includes stories that were written for them. I am on the opinion that even adults could learn from such shows.

I don’t often watch such shows. But I am also convinced that this program is really educational, useful and inventive. Since, the series teach a lot of beneficial samples for everyone. First, the display (látvány) is so creative that catches the eyes of the viewers. Then the stories, songs and the characters are all lovable indeed. These adventures can make anyone’s day, in my view.

In addition, I would recommend this show for everyone to watch at least once. As it shows morally good points of life and teaches about fun, friendship and creativity in a gifted/productive way.

 

BENEFITS OF WATCHING SESAM STREET

  • The TV show was based on curriculum for children at the preschool age.
  • The article also says how Sesame Streetnot only has educational benefits, but also has social-emotional and behavioral benefits as well.
  • However, the article does question whether this TV program could replace the classroom and the research emphasizes that it could not.
  • However, it is a great supplement for students to access outside of the classroom or even if teachers played it during free-time.
