百萬小學堂,誰能比我強!

Almost this whole week, I have been watching 百萬小學堂 on YouTube. Or perhaps, you could say I'm addicted. I must admit that too. I really enjoyed watching every episode which lasts for 2 hours!!! So imagine how much time I have spent on it just to watch every episode. And of course, I have not finished watching EVERY episode.

The most addictive part of this programme could be the entertainment factor. But to me, I think is the kids. I must first state that, I'm definitely not a paedophile! Is just that, watching how they react to the situation are very funny. They are already mature in some way, but they still retained some naive, innocence and purity in them. Really admired them. How time pass so fast, and I have to face such cruel world so fast... I really wish I can go back the past and learn more things, and make my childhood more colourful...

Taiwanese kids are really something. Although their English and Mathematical education are still no way close to our standard, their eduation system still allow them to learn so many things since young. Their CCA selections are really incredible. There are so many to choose from, so the kids can have some foundation on other talent even if their studies are not good. This probably why so many Taiwanese Variety Shows are able to invite many kids to perform.

The kids are also required to learn things that we usually learn during our Secondary School Age. Subjects such as Chinese Literature and History. The programme usually features questions like "Who wrote this chinese poem?", "What does this stanza in this poem means?", "How did this person die in this novel?", "How does this idiom come about?", etc. I have stunned by many questions of similiar kind. I'm really really impressed by them. Moreover, they are also learning First Aid, Geography, the History and Origin of the other parts of Taiwan, and even how their Taiwanese Government System works! Definitely more stressful than Singaporean Primary School Students!!!

Singapore Education System is totally different. Most of the things mentioned earlier are mostly taught in our Secondary School Age. But these subjects are just too boring for me... Or probably we could say that the teacher made it very very boring... (Thinking of Sec 1 History Lesson...Zzz).

Those who are keen to know more little facts about Taiwan or other things are highly encouraged to watch this amazing programme, and be impressed by the kids!!!
