These days, some people relax after a busy day in numerous ways. Two very common methods are watching
movies
or reading fictional books. There are some people who choose reading as a preferred method to enjoy.
However
, others opt to watch
movies
or even series on TV.
This
essay will discuss both perspectives and present some characteristics of each choice.
Firstly
, the fact of reading can present some benefits to the human habilities. The
first
benefit is that read and interpret a text, stimulates our brain in an intensive way. As a fact, we can observe the ones who are frequent readers, organize better the ideas and are even able to speak in a clearer speech.
Secondly
, fictional books usually can bring deeper ideas, and more complex story development and relationship among characters.
For instance
, some researchers state that a healthy habit is equalled to eating one apple a day and read one book a week.
On the other hand
, some people prefer to watch
movies
instead
of reading a story. Nowadays, while a book has the same textual information, a
movie
has evolved impressively when it applies visual effects, fighting scenes, 3D interactions.
Therefore
, the experience of watching
movies
has become richer every time.
Secondly
, beyond the difference of individual experiences, it is really fast to share reactions and emotions with family and friends while the
movie
is being watched.
For example
, it is really more common to invite friends to watch a
movie
, but not to read a book. In conclusion, I do not agree that reading novels are more interesting than watching
movies
. I truly believe that a group experience is much more enjoyable than an individual experience.
This
is the main reason I would choose to watch a
movie
with the company of my family rather than reading a novel lonely.
