"In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books."

The speaker contends that people learn just as much from watching television
as by reading books, and therefore that television render book obsolete. I agree insofar as reading is not the first opinion for today's people to get knowledge, since multimedia play a important role for living today, However, the speaker's assertion that what one can acquire from book also provide by television should open to question.  In most respects, these newer media serve as poor substitute for books when it comes to learning.

Admittedly, television holds certain advantages over books. For the purpose of acquire a roughly idea of certain event, television can a vivid and convincing record than a book or other written account. For example, On July 20, 1969, when the Apollo 11 landed on the surface of moon, Armstrong becomes the first person to step onto the moon, announcing "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." This great moment transmitted by satellite to the whole world and this let millions of people cheers. I am pretty sure that nobody would substitute live broadcast for read a copy of journal or an astronaut's biography to get this information several couples of months after. Producers of televised broadcast and vides have an inherent advantage in this event. Thus, the speaker's claim has some merit when it comes to learning about modern and current events.

However, the speaker overlooks several respects in which books are inherently superior to television as a medium for learning. The most one focus on is efficiency on learning. Someone believe that television provide more information than books in the same period. Considering that people would feel tired on looking TV more easier than books, and interrupting from advertisement we can conclude that television  is unsuitable for long term learning. Moreover, books and other paper media would not suffer power failure or disrupting of airwaves --- all of which may not available as your wish.

Another compelling argument against the speaker's claim has to do with the commercialize. The reason that commercial TV station broadcast news and scientific programs is to gain interest from the advertisement. So what they put in the first option is how to enhance audience ratings, and that may result in exaggeration or unobjective position. For instance, National Geographic and Discovery channels both release a series of programs about evil spirit which claims supported by scientific evidence. Obviously, it's viewer direction regardless objectiveness and truth. In this aspect, television definitely has certain flaws.

In sum, television and video can be more efficient than books as means of staying abreast of current affairs. However, books facilitate learning in certain ways that television does not and cannot. In the final analysis, optimal attitude to the controversy in way of learning is holding a dual position. To use television to keep us informed, along with books to provide perspective and insight on that information.

I am pretty(exactly) sure(certain) that nobody would substitute （加上watching)live broadcast for read(reading) a copy of journal or an astronaut's biography to get this information several couples of months after(later). Producers of televised broadcast and vides (television and broadcast stations)have an inherent advantage in(responsible for) this event. Thus, the speaker's claim has some merits when it comes to learning(learn) about modern and current events.

However, the speaker overlooks several respects in which books are inherently superior to television as a medium（measure) for learning. The most one focus on(表达不对0 is efficiency on learning.(The most cheif one is the efficiency of learning). Someone believes that television provides more information than books in the same period.
