20100313 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can learn more from watching television than reading books.
In the world of information exploitation, the way to receive more information is much more critical than before. For children, they view the television as an interesting friend which will bring them a lot of information with vivid pictures and movements, while books are so boring that they prefer to take a nap. As for me, an adult busy with my daily work, reading books benefits me a lot due to its convenience, details and imagination it provides to me.
To begin with, the most obvious advantage of books is that they are easy to take with. When I take the subway to my work each day, watching TV to learn English is not feasible, but books are available at any time I need. Because its convenience, I have insistence to finish the reading. Meanwhile, since I am able to learn from the television only after my whole busy working at home, it may be impossible for me to have such a mood or state to make a progress any more.
Furthermore, sometimes, I believe that books could offer more details over television so that the receivers can master information solidly. I conclude this fact according to my own experience recently. I found one of my favorite movies, called 'Eat, Pray and Love' in the television, which caused me to buy a book of it online. After I finish reading the book, to my surprise, I conceived that the TV version has deleted a lot of exciting plots and emotional feelings of the characters which seemed so disappointed to me when I watched the movie again. Books with more descriptions and emotional activities, although they are expressed with still words, the readers can experience more fun and knowledge from them.
Last, the television programs block our imagination, which, in the long run, barriers us from learning more information. TV programs supply audiences diagramic movements and expressive meanings, limiting the space for our own consideration. In the end, we turn out to be uncreative and easily to follow others 'opinions. Reading books is another story. Not only can we have spaces within the lines to imagine the scenes, but also there exists enough time for us to consider and review. More times of thinking, more information will reward us. As to the television, pictures are impossible to wait for us unless at the cost of more information.
In a nutshell, I prefer the books over TV programs, since books are easier to carry with, presenting more information and details and leaving us spaces to imagine, contemplate and review. |
