There is a preference for reading articles over watching TV as a learning speech resource. Some people believe that reading can expand their thinking and language abilities

while

others hold the opposite point of view. I agree with the former, and in the following paragraphs, I am going to discuss both viewpoints. First and foremost, many language learners may choose books or novels as their leisure activities in order to expand their vocabulary and writing skills.

Besides

, different cultures' citizens may have their own ways of thinking,

thus

, selecting their countries’ authors’ articles or reading newspapers may

also

understand how they make decisions.

Furthermore

, many adult novels or articles do not include a lot of images, so learners can use their imagination to enjoy reading them.

On the other hand

, foreign television programs may help audiences

Verb problem

apply

show examples

learn different ways to communicate in different countries, especially for new immigrants who desire to study or work abroad.

However

, an entry-level language learner may open subtitles to understand the actors’ speeches.

As a result

, these students are still reading

while

they are watching these programs.

Moreover

, they are passively learning without thinking

while

they are watching. In conclusion, gaining knowledge from different television programs may not effectively develop linguistic skills, yet expanding new vocabulary, imagination, and writing skills can be learned through reading books.

Hence

, choosing reading as entertainment may develop linguistic abilities and thinking ways better and faster than watching TV.

SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT COMPETITION AT WORK, AT SCHOOL AND IN DAILY LIFE IS A GOOD THING. OTHERS BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO COOPERATE MORE, RATHER THAN COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER.
In my opinion competition at work, at school and in daily life can both be a good thing and a bad thing, why? because I think too much of anything can be destructive. Yes, it's a very good thing to be competitive but don't overdo it. Having no competition in your life at all can be very depressing. because you have no motivation, no goals you want to achieve, everytime you wake up in the morning. I don't believe that there is such thing as "co-operateing" too much, when you work with someone you should work together as a team and co-operate, but also do things for yourself, like something career-wise. You should think of your future in your work. That goes the same if you are still in school, take my school life for example. If I am very good at one subject in particular, lots of other students may come up to me and ask for pointers. I would be very glad to help them. If there is any homework, schoolmates may come over together, this is also fine and very good for building relations...
