It has been said that people who read for pleasure have more developed imaginations and better language skills than people who prefer to watch TV. Do you agree or disagree?
It is true that the habits of reading books and watching
TV
have gained in popularity over the past few decades, making a paradigm shift in the lifestyle of every human on Earth. Although
some believe that watching TV
is a common way to spend their leisure time, in my opinion, those who prefer reading books become more imaginative and capable of using the language
.
When comparing to watching TV
, reading books contributes to the improvement of readers’ imaginations. First
, by reading a variety of book genres, such
as science-fiction or novel, readers can not only enhance their literacy but also
develop the critical thinking. While TV
just broadcasts its man-made visual images, reading book forces readers to understand written words, which acts as an incentive for them to imagine. Second
, audiences who addict TV
are susceptible to become passive as constant pictures are already displayed before them. In fact, if pictures are shown on the screen, audiences will just accept what they see, which leads to restricted imagination.
Another compelling reason is that reading can benefit readers’ language
skill
. By reading books, readers’ language
skills, such
as their writing skill
or vocabularies, will be improved. For example
, TV
fans are unwilling to find out their writing skill
may be declining, which is proved by spelling or grammatical mistakes they make in writing. in
addition, most of Suggestion
In
TV programs
are spoken in an oral style in order to approach a variety of audiences. Suggestion
the TV programs
This
means that those languages are not as formal and precise as the ones in books, which are beneficial for developing language
skills.
In conclusion, I believe that reading for pleasure enhances language
skill
and imaginations. By doing more reading instead
of viewing TV
, people’s knowledge would be improved in a variety of ways.Submitted by dathv2007 on
