an individual. Some people think that reading is better for enhancing positive thinking while other groups say that watching
TV
is more beneficial. I completely agree that the thinking capability and
language
skill of a
person
are better developed by reading than watching
television
.
First
of all, reading for pleasure grasps the attention of a
person
more than the
TV
can. Most of the people who read a lot have a better thinking capability and
thus
become innovative and more creative. While people do not pay utmost attention while watching
TV
as they often change the channels to find something more interesting.
Television
improves the listening and speaking skills. Reading and the analytical ability of an individual are developed more quickly by reading books. It is obvious that reading books, magazines, journals or even websites give much opportunity to learn something

. In the case of pleasure reading, the reader always has the option to read whatever interests him/ her most.

programs, keeping
the commercial aspects in mind. Good books are always the better alternative in learning new things, developing skills and imagination. Again, the reading and writing skill of a
person
cannot be greatly developed unless
this
person
is a professional writer or reads a lot. Only watching
television
is not a good choice who wants to develop their
language
skills.
Finally
, good books and other reading materials come with the thoughtfulness of writers and with the historical facts and events which are much more thought-provoking than the
TV
programmes. People often tend to watch entertaining programs like movies than watching a historical program on the History channel.
On the other hand
, when people read books or other materials, they read only things that can keep their attention. A book,
thus
, is a better option for everyone to learn more, develop imagination and improve
language
skills, especially in reading and writing areas.
