Some people think that resources should be spent on protecting wild animals, while others think those would be better used for the human population. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

compliment
however
, they are not as effective as words
.
On the one hand, pictures
are useful to complete the given information in an article published in a newspaper or news
stories
broadcasted on TV. It makes readers and viewers understand and get more details about the subject. For instance
, I recently read a story
in a well-known newspaper about the biggest scam of recent time which happened in Spain. The article talked about this
story
in details and some pictures
were joined to it as well. Those pictures
made me feel like I was there the moment the scam happened because it
completed what I read and made me imagine all the events in front of my eyes. Correct pronoun usage
they
Thus
, this
does not mean that the importance of pictures
outweighs the importance of words
.
On the other hand
, I disagree with those who think that pictures
are more effective than words
. On the contrary
, words
are more important and without words
news
stories
will be meaningless and incomplete. Besides
, words
are the heart of an article. It is impossible to fully understand a subject from one picture or two. However
, it is not mandatory to have pictures
that accompany a story
to understand it. The perfect example to illustrate this
is the radio.
To sum up, pictures
could be used to complete a story
on TV and in newspapers, but they do not replace words
. Words
are more effective than pictures
and without them the stories
are meaningless.Submitted by limati7 on
