Some people believe that people who read books can develop more imagination and language skills than those who prefer to watch TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is widely believed that reading
books
 is a better way for
people
 to develop their imagination and
language
skills
, in comparison with watching
TV
. From my perspective,
although
 I partly agree with
this
 opinion, I would argue that
language
skills
 can be acquired more effectively by watching
TV
, and will give my reasons below. On the
one
 hand,
books
 apparently are better tools than
TV
 to enhance a person’s creativity. It is undeniable that words enable readers to visualize what they read, and there is no restriction to
such
 imaginative thinking.
For instance
, if two different individuals read the book “

” simultaneously, it is possible for them to visualize two different images of Aladdin, who is the main character in
this
 story.
In contrast
, whether a million

 played by Mena Massoud.
This
 demonstrates that watching

 is overcome by reading

On the other hand
, watching

, compared to reading
books
.
This
 can be
further
 seen in the fact that
TV
 with sound effects has the capacity to help watchers sharpen their listening and speaking
skills
 efficiently, thereby improving their
language
 comprehension. Perhaps the best example of
this
 is Khanh Vy, who is

watching movies in foreign languages without subtitles daily, and she believed that it is the best approach for

 it is better for them to watch

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
