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.
