imagining what the writer is trying to communicate. I agree that a person's

mind

is active whilst reading. In

this

essay, I will discuss my viewpoint. Reading to the

mind

is what exercise is to the body! It is a brain-stimulating activity. Our

mind

creates images while we read. The activity that leads to reading

also

requires effort, one must decide on the genre, plan how to get access to it and

then

indulge in the activity. Using imagination is a key aspect of reading because the writer only describes situations and characters with words and the reader has to imagine every scene in the

mind

On the contrary

, no effort is required by the

mind

whilst watching a serial. The content is pre-curated, the scenes are well laid out, it doesn't require any thought.

That is

why people prefer unwinding by indulging in a TV series because you don't have to bring your

mind

to the table. One can leave it behind. To support the statement, a poll revealed that the audience preferred reading the Harry Potter series rather than watching the films because the books gave the reader to visualise their own version of the plot. In conclusion, I would like to agree with the above statement that reading books

Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness?
Happiness is a characteristic that vastly governs the functions of human lives. The idea of a happy and fulfilling lifestyle is one of the greatest, if not the only objectives, of a person’s existence. It is difficult to ascertain a definitive source of joy or the very denotation of the word itself, as it may significantly vary from one individual to another due to personal preferences. However, several aspects of a person’s life are consequential in determining the degree of jubilation one enjoys.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. You should give reasons for your answer using your own ideas and experience.
A school is a place where people study and educate themself to gain knowledge for future use. Teachers are one of the responsible people in making a child be knowledgeable. Though, it can't be denied that parents play a bigger role in disciplining their children. I agree that parents are the best teachers because they are the closest to their children. Thus, they understand more about the problems of their kid so they know what's best.
