“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television
program can be seen in so many parts of the world.
That program became one of America’s exports soon after it was shown in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some
people do not agree to some parts of the program, parents praise it highly.
Tests have shown that children have learned much from watching “Sesame Street”. The children
who watch it five times a week learn more than those who watch it less. In the United States the
program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who
can watch it regularly.
The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of
numbers, letters and human relationships.
Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many
reasons have been suggested, such as the educational theories of its producers, the support from both
the government and businessmen, and the full use of various kinds television skills. Perhaps another
important reason is that mothers watch “Sesame Street” together with their children. This is partly
because famous film stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the
program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself
learning, and he wants to learn more.

Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence of sport—the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. However, the individual representing his/her country cannot afford to think about enjoying him/herself; he has to think only about winning. He/She is responsible for an entire nation’s hope, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention “Argentina” to someone and chances are that he/she’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “puts Argentina on the map.”
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Years ago thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money travelling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.
