Describe a TV documentary you watched that was particularly interesting. v. 2
Describe a TV documentary you watched that was particularly interesting. Please say: what the documentary was about why you decided to watch it what you learnt during the documentary and explain why the TV documentary was particularly interesting. Sample Answer 1: A plate of yummy food can remove the tiredness of the day. In fact, we eat, we live and this is true for all living being. But recently I had seen a documentary about food and their processing that shocked me heavily and it was one of the most interesting TV documentaries I have ever seen. People take food for several reasons, and the most prominent of them is their craving for the food or they want a comfort for their hunger. But my idea of taking food for comfort has been changed after watching the Food Inc. , a documentary on the food habits, food processing and how the large corporations cheating on innocent people. Actually, the documentary unfolded some blind parts of the food industry across the world. Food habits and tastes have been changed with the course of time and to meet the growing needs, the food producing corporations are following numerous irrational ways and having their profits. Generally, before watching any movie or documentary, I like to do some homework on them such as I analyse rating, read reviews etc. to know if they are worth watching. Accordingly, I found that Food, Inc. , a documentary by Robert Kenner, has been nominated for some prestigious awards in the USA. Moreover, the teaser of the documentary also attracted me. So, I started watching this documentary and came to know about a large number of confidential issues regarding food business. In fact, staying healthy is not enough today, we should be also careful about our food selection. The food items that we take from the superstores and chain shops are entirely unhealthy for us. At the same time, the food producers are damaging the environment. Such issues were highly confidential until Mr Kenner unveiled them on screen through his documentary. Watching the documentary film was a nice experience for me. Food, Inc. taught me a wide number of things and I try to follow them in my own lifestyle. Basically, the documentary is an analysis of the existing food markets - how these food items are grown, how the corporations are abusing the environment, food, animals and people engaged in the food processing, how they are cheating the consumers and more other intriguing issues. The advertisements of different food products show that the foods items are handpicked directly from the farms. But in reality, they are not, the foods are ‘manufactured’ in factories. Has anyone ever thought how the seasonal vegetables are available all around the year or how they are found in plenty during off-season? No, we do not think about such issues. We are not allowed to! The food industry owners do not want us to know these secrets lest they fail in the business. Moreover, the filmmaker had to remain careful about legal issues against him, the production company and channel that would broadcast it while making this documentary. Food, Inc. has taught me some good and valuable lessons. I think it is good to be healthy but at the same time, we should be careful about foods we eat. There are three segments of the documentary and each of the parts revealed some highly sought information for the audiences that the food producers never wanted to expose in public. The entire productions process, especially in the case of meat, it is inhumane and disastrous to the environment. Besides, the large-scale productions of grains, green vegetables and fruits are also not sustainable. The majority of the vegetables and fruits are preserved with toxic chemicals harmful to human health. The advertisements create an appealing impression of the food and grains are gathered from a large ranch filled with green plants. But the inner scenario is completely different and there are no links at all to the large farms or greeneries. I loved the documentary for its bold expression of unethical activities from the food industry owners.
Describe
a TV
documentary
you
watched
that was
particularly interesting
.
Please
say: what the
documentary
was about why you decided to
watch
it what you
learnt
during the
documentary
and
explain
why the TV
documentary
was
particularly interesting
. Sample Answer 1:

A plate of yummy
food
can remove the tiredness of the day. In fact, we eat, we
live
and this is true for all living being.
But
recently I had
seen
a
documentary
about
food
and their processing that shocked me
heavily
and it was one of the most interesting TV
documentaries
I have ever
seen
.

People
take
food
for several reasons, and the most prominent of them is their craving for the
food or
they want a comfort for their hunger.
But
my
idea
of taking
food
for comfort has been
changed
after watching the
Food
Inc
.
,
a
documentary
on the
food
habits,
food
processing and how the
large
corporations cheating on innocent
people
.
Actually
, the
documentary
unfolded
some
blind parts of the
food
industry across the world.
Food
habits and tastes have been
changed
with the course of time and to
meet
the growing needs, the
food
producing corporations are following numerous irrational ways and having their profits.

Generally
,
before
watching any movie or
documentary
, I like to do
some
homework on them such as I
analyse
rating, read reviews etc. to know if they are worth watching.
Accordingly
, I found that
Food
,
Inc
.
,
a
documentary
by Robert
Kenner
, has
been nominated
for
some
prestigious awards in the USA.
Moreover
, the teaser of the
documentary
also
attracted me.
So
, I
started
watching this
documentary
and came to know about a
large
number of confidential
issues
regarding
food
business. In fact, staying healthy is not
enough
today
, we should be
also
careful about our
food
selection. The
food
items that we take from the superstores and chain shops are
entirely
unhealthy for us. At the same time, the
food
producers are damaging the environment. Such
issues
were
highly
confidential until Mr
Kenner
unveiled them on screen through his
documentary
. Watching the
documentary
film was a nice experience for me.

Food,
Inc
. taught me a wide number of things and I try to follow them in my
own
lifestyle.
Basically
, the
documentary
is an analysis of the existing
food
markets
-
how these
food
items
are grown
, how the corporations are abusing the environment,
food
, animals and
people
engaged in the
food
processing, how they are cheating the consumers and more other intriguing
issues
. The advertisements of
different
food
products
show
that the
foods
items
are handpicked
directly
from the farms.
But
in reality, they are not, the
foods
are ‘manufactured’ in factories. Has anyone ever
thought
how the seasonal vegetables are available all around the year or how they
are found
in
plenty
during off-season? No, we do not
think
about such
issues
. We are not
allowed
to! The
food
industry owners do not want us to know these secrets lest they fail in the business.
Moreover
, the filmmaker had to remain careful about legal
issues
against him, the production
company
and channel that would broadcast it while making this documentary.

Food,
Inc
. has taught me
some
good
and valuable lessons. I
think
it is
good
to be healthy
but
at the same time, we should be careful about
foods
we eat. There are three segments of the
documentary
and each of the parts revealed
some
highly
sought information for the audiences that the
food
producers never wanted to expose in public. The entire productions process,
especially
in the case of meat, it is inhumane and disastrous to the environment.
Besides
, the large-scale productions of grains, green vegetables and fruits are
also
not sustainable. The majority of the vegetables and fruits
are preserved
with toxic chemicals harmful to human health. The advertisements create an appealing impression of the
food
and grains
are gathered

But
the inner scenario is completely

and there are no links at all to the
