With the development of science and technology, new media appears by which we can attain knowledge and technical skills conveniently. The author claims that reading book is not important as before and enough knowledge can be attained by watching television. However, based my personal experience, I cannot agree with the author.
Admittedly, television plays a vital role both in(觉得应该是in both吧) people's daily life and research fields; we can get much information through this media. For example, nowadays, the first thing to do in a day for most people might be turning on the television and watching the news home and abroad. From television, we can get the lively news with pictures or explanations. Another example is the program on popular science, which will show us the profound information by pictures, movies, cartoons and so on; the science become easier to be understood by public.So, referring to the cases above, we can know that television does provide us knowledge with apparent convenience.
(很流畅啊,表述很好)
However, there are also some shortcomings with television which cannot be neglected. First, the knowledge and information shown in the television cannot be relearned by viewers, that is, we watch the news or the programs for only one time. We cannot watch the specific program(前面提过news or the programs,这里是否改为them好些)again. So it is highly possible that we cannot fully remember what it says. Second, it is obvious that we cannot know all the information about what the television show us, such as the background knowledge, reference, more detail information etc. Third, the knowledge which the television provided is very limited and cannot meets individual needs and interests of people. Due to the limited time, television usually broadcasts some important information and ignores others. But the needs and interests of people vary case-by-case. Hence, when we enjoy the convenience the television provides, we should understand the limitation of television.
(这段说理非常到位,层次分明,很有说服力)
When it comes to the way of attaining knowledge, books may be the more efficient and effective way, therefore it is indispensability in the long history of culture development.(这句话好像没什么意义啊,therefore显得有点牵强)Comparing with television, books could provide us with more systematic and professional information about every field. Take the mathematics for example. There are tremendous amount of books for you, from the mathematic fundamental knowledge to advance(是否用advanced恰当些) mathematics, from algebra to discrete mathematics. You could know all of the knowledge on mathematics if you are interesting in them. Furthermore, we can know that knowledge which is the profound partstelevision shows usually omits(用被动好点吧,主语是knowledge,is usually omitted). Meanwhile, the books could provide you more professional information, though it might be filled in professional words leading to difficult understanding.
(组长的数学专业词汇用的好熟啊)
From the discussion above, we can get a conclusion that television does provide us information more conveniently and lively in the form of pictures, movies, cartoons etc. However, its defects are also obvious. It cannot provide more systematic and professional information like books. Therefore,some information cannot be provided by watching television, and reading books might be the only way(太绝对了用better似乎好些) to achieve it. 狂赞组长的语言,非常流畅,运用自如,羡慕啊!!
