People who read for pleasure have better imagination and language skills than those who prefer watching TV. To what extent do you agree?

Never before have

information

technologies

such

as television been so widely promoted. While enjoying the benefits from

TV

, including better visual and auditory experience, many people believe that the imagination and language

abilities

of the public are weakened. From my perspective, only those original methods to obtain knowledge,

such

as reading, help us to build up the imagination and develop language

abilities

. Without douts, the invention of

TV

has greatly improved the quality of our lives. It enables us to gather a wider range of fresh

information

from all over the world. Comparing to the past, new messages could merely be found from slowly-updating local newspapers for the majority of the families, the sources of

information

has been enlarged considerably. With that in mind, those audiences of

TV

programs can actually be more creative since they could find more vivid inspirations from the

TV

contents.

Nevertheless

, old-fashion ways to gather messages,

for instance

, reading, is indispensable in cultivating the skills in imagining and writing.

First

of all, the audiences of

TV

program are fed with

information

so fast that they do not have adequate time to digest the news.

By contrast

, when reading from paper-based media, the reader can freely adjust their speed so that they can think deeper into the topic, learning from the beauty of languages and most importantly, creating their own critical opinions towards the topics discussed in the books. As a consequence, critical thinking and linguistic skills will be improved naturally.

In addition

, words in a book can not describe the scene that the author tries to show perfectly, which,

on the contrary

, leaves the reader free space to imagine the story and their corresponding

abilities

can be

thus

improved. To put everything into consideration. The widespread

TV

indeed increases the public's creativity by providing more

information

.

However

, not only can readers find their personal rhythm, but

also

they will have the opportunity to imagine freely about the vague scenes described in the books, which are indispensable to cultivate their linguistics and imaginary

abilities

.
