Nowadays, watching television has became a important part of people’s lives, as a main media, it is a great source of political, economic, social and cultural information for the citizens in many countries. With the television becoming popular, it seems that reading books as an old way learning information and knowledge is not as important as it once was, people can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books. As apposed to the commonly held view, I would insist that watching television couldn’t replace reading books as a way of learning.

The reason why people choose television not book just because television tends to create passive viewers by providing instant culture. The vast programs the TV shown are mainly entrainment programs, which function mainly to attract people’s attention, reduce people’s stress, stimulate people’s desire and so on, most of them are simple and pursuing instant effect. However, the books is more serious, and not as vivid as the tv shows. After the exhausted work, most of people will choose watching telenetion to relax themselves.

Television works better as a means of entrainment instead of education. The television, played with pictures, sound, always tries to interrupt any further thinks and force you going on. However, the trait of the television makes it unsuited for education, which need profound consideration and reasoning, sometimes, back to the before. At the same time, the television is full of too much temptation which will transfer people’s attention to study that it is hard to learn quietly. However, if you are reading book, you will have enough time to think about question and find the answer. What’s more, you can tick on the books and write your own ideas, which is in favor of reviewing and better understanding. Reading a book just as communicat with a greater writer, get the great mind. In my opinion, watching televetion just as get apple with others, finally you just have an apple. While reading books as change minds with writers, finally you got two ideas.


In addition, there are several advantages for reading books. At first, the books are more legible than television which always twinkling and not stop. you can repeat whatever time and place you want and any times you like.
Nextly, the books are easy to carry and need no power supply, which make to adaptable to different condition. Moreover, you can deside the field book you want to . conclusion in ong sentence, you have the absolute freedom in reading book.


All in all, although In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was, what’s more the circulation of newspaper, magazine and books are still high. Books as an old way of acquiring information and knowledge still hold strong life force, reading books remains the most efficient way for people to acquire information and knowledge.
