Plush Time Wins is a YouTube channel that "brings" you to arcades all over the world; Wengie is another one that includes various pranks, DIYs, challenges, etc. These are only a few of the many kid-friendly video channels I like watching, and most of my classmates do too! Online videos differ from regular TV programmes in content. They appeal to us by showing activities that we are normally not allowed to do, fulfilling our desires, as well as entertaining us.

Parents usually do not condone (饒恕) their kids watching online videos because they hold the opinion that they're time-consuming and uneducational, impacting on kids' study. However, these videos are very relaxing. Since we are under intense academic pressure, watching these videos in moderation can actually stimulate our creativity and allow us to work better!

◆Comment

A well-written piece, Shu Shu! Your writing shows your rich vocabulary and mastery of advanced sentence structures. Thanks for introducing the interesting video channels to us. Do you think the Smarties could shoot some videos as well?

■English highway﹕In moderation

If you do something in moderation, you do it reasonably.

e.g. Max looks tired. He didn't play video games in moderation.

If you have written anything good like a story, poem or joke, send it to us (see below for our address and email address). All kinds of contributions are welcome. The Smarties can't wait to see your good work!
