Reading for pleasure can develop imagination and language skills better than watching TV. To what extent you agree or disagree?

It is said that
people
who read books have a better vocabulary, creative thinking and imagination compared to those who are more partial to watching TV. I strongly agree with
this
statement
due to
a few reasons that I am going to discuss
further
. On the first hand, when you are reading you need to imagine the visualization by yourself,
otherwise
, you will not be thrilled by the book. It relates to diverse genres
such
as business literature, fiction, novel, fantasy and even history. Usually,
while
people
reading, they do not have any illustrations so they have to transport all
words
into pictures.
For example
, a child is reading a comic in a kind of book without any pictures.
Therefore
, he has to imagine a series of images in that comic by himself
while
reading.
Secondly
, reading actually helps
people
to have a firm grasp of the language.
This
is
due to
the fact that books and articles use a range of vocabulary,
while
reading they come across different types of
words
that are suitable for a particular situation. In day-to-day life,
people
can use different
words
in their writing and speaking which they have learnt
while
reading. To illustrate, I developed a habit of reading since childhood and
this
helped me to learn a range of new
words
which I use in my writing and speaking. In conclusion, reading for pleasure is the best habit that
people
should develop because it develops
people
intellectually and
people
can improve their command of the language.
