In this era of digital, people can get knowledge from all kinds of media, especially by watching TV, rather than only by reading books before. Albeit the importance of reading is declining, the books still are necessary and much more important than any other media.
Admittedly, people can learn much by watching television. Be different from books, television can provide visual video and voice that make things much more apprehensible. For instance, students who are studying physics may lose in obscure functions and equations on books. And with a television which has visual programs that show the physics meaning of functions, physics could be much easier for students to study. Another typical example is that people who is learning dance. All of tenors printed on the books and every step has a picture to illustrate, but only by reading dance books one cannot succeed because that dance is a serious of coherent action, on contrary, television can solve this trouble well.
(应该加个however就连贯了)Books are still necessary. TV program indeed more visual than books, but it is not totally similar that TV program cannot replace books completely. Not everything in books can be transform into visual program. For example, in archaic China, there were a lot of brilliant arguments about all fields of our society such as education, diplomacy, strategy et al. People can learn how to handle the problems they met today by reading these classic. The fascination of a novel is that it offers people infinite space to imagine, Shakespeare once said: “There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.” On television, it is just the editor’s hamlet(这个比方很好,我觉得).
For some reasons, books are much important than other media. First, thousands years of human civilization, which is the most important heritage of human, are recorded in books. The only way people exploit this imponderable treasure is reading. Second, books are portable that one can carry it to everywhere he wants and read whenever he wants(可以合并,略显啰嗦). Additionally, all reading needs are that light and books, but watching TV is affect by a lot of factors such as TV set, electricity, signal, type of program et al. Finally, reading costs little, read in library could be free, but watch TV cost a lot, one want to watch TV should pay much on TV set, channel and so on(这段写得有点像argument).
To sum up, owe to the huge advance of digital technique and Integrated circuit, people can get any information they want from various ways. Reading books is not as important as it once before. But it is still the most important way that for people to learn. We should take the each advantage of reading and watching to defeat the disadvantage of another, and then we can study most effectively. 行文比较流畅,而且思路清晰,不过后两段没有第二段好,无论是遣词还是造句,有点中式英语了。 |
