The speaker asserts that in the age of television people learn by watching television as much as reading books and thus reading books is no more important as it was. I concede that in some aspects television can provides us with efficient and effective ways of learning. However, in most aspects television cannot replace the books when it comes to learning.
Admittedly, television can offer us visible pictures and therefore are more powerful in some aspects than books in our learning. For instance, when we are learning ballet, we can see the exact actions of the ballet dancers and thus we are able to easily imitate their performance. Yet, it is difficult for any writer to use words in the books to provide us with such a vivid (?) example to learn from. Moreover, while we are studying an event, for example, a demonstration, through the screen of the television, we can see the faces of the crowded people in the street and hear their slogans which no book can convey such details to us. In the respects that need visible details, television is more effective than books.
However, television is a poor substitute of books when it comes to learning something invisible. For example, the poem which require people imagine the scenarios in their minds and different people have distinct imaginations is hard for television to give special images to reflect all people's thought. (没看懂)Also, the abstract ideas of philosophers in the books are impossible for television to describe. Besides, there are many mathematic thoughts, the mood and emotion of the heroes in novels, theories in physics and so forth which are nightmares (?) for television to show. ()That's why we can see students reading books in classrooms rather than watching television at home for learning. So television can not take the place of books in studying.(So,)
Furthermore, books hold several advantages over television in imparting knowledge. First, we can make a bookmark in the book and continue reading directly from the exact page we read last time while the television broadcast would not change their plan for us. Secondly, we are able to refer to other books to seek answer to some questions when we are reading some book whereas television programs always do not offer us any reference. Finally, books do not need electricity, cable or airwaves signals and are therefore more convenient than television. In short, books are superior to television because of convenience of cross reference and less limits.
To conclude, television can be more efficient than books in the aspects involving moving imagery. However, books can provide us with all kinds of knowledge including abstract ideas, thoughts, concepts, special events and so forth and is convenient to use while television can hardly help us learn abstract things and has limits such as electricity, signal and so on.
总体较好,结尾调整一下会好一些。 |
