'Battle of Wits'

'Battle of Wits'

The Battle of Wits, which is aired on TVRI every Thursday from
7 p.m. to 8 p.m., is a really good educational program. It is
extremely suitable for students, since it broadens their horizons
and provides current information about public issues.

Moreover, those who are learning English can benefit from the
program as the lively arguments and debates from enthusiastic
participants can help build their vocabulary and provide them
with new expressions. They also learn debating techniques, which
are demonstrated by both teams. The audience is also motivated to
have a greater concern for social problems.

Unfortunately, this program generally features participants
from the Jakarta area. I think it would be much more interesting
to include participants from out of Jakarta.
