It is believed that
books
 have an advantage over television to develop communication
skills
 and imagination. I fully support the belief that readers are able to develop linguistic and imaginative
skills
 significantly better.
Firstly
, the number of

 more comprehensive than the TV, so the reader's horizons are immense, and even an ordinary reader can support the conversation on a much broader range of topics, in

 regard, that improves communication

.
Secondly
, with
books
, one can find many different critical views, which allows a more objective assessment of a particular issue and strengthens one's language
skills
, especially in the field of communication.
For instance

Besides
,

neural connections, which is a kind of mental training for our brain and improves the links between neurons, which in turn are an essential element of our brain functioning.
For example
, a recent study using magnetic resonance imaging done by Harvard University has shown that people who read have more active areas in the brain than those who enjoy watching television. In conclusion, as seen in the examples,
it is clear that
due to
 the volume of
books
 and the specific feature that affects the thought processes, readers have a more obvious advantage over television and can improve language
skills
 and imagination.
