People can learn more from watching television than reading books
楼主,这是我写的第一篇托福论文。弄了好久,改了好久,总感觉没有什么进步。期待楼主的意见哈,千万不要留情啊……
It’s undeniable that continuously developing technologies have brought tremendous benefits to every aspects of our modern life ,especially in learing area. Now, we are overwhelmed by a large amount of information coming from newspapers, televisions, books and other media, which means we no longer obtain knowledge merely by reading books .Media , especially television ,have became another significant ways for us to learn things. Some people even hold the opinion that we can learning more from watching television than reading books, which I don’t agree with .In my opinion, television and books are equally crucial ways of gaining knowledge.
Needless to say ,television has actually offered us tremendous information, such as the theory of photosynthesis from “everyday biology”, the secrets of Pyramid from “Discovery”.All of these information is presented in a cozy way Lie in bed ,we can watch White Shakes from “National Geograohy”.With the help of vivid videotapes taken in the ocean, we can understand and remember the characters of the White Sharks without difficulty.What’s more ,there are some knowledges that can only be gained from television. Suppose there’re two students who want to learn English pronuncation. One has 1000 books at hand telling him the skill of pronunciation ,another has planned to learn pronunciation from one television program called “Sesame Street”.One thing is certain, the man who watch television can spent less time learing more accurate English., Only through both visual and auditory ways ,can knowledge like pronunciation be gained. Also,knowledge which includes timely information,for instance, the real-time updates of events all over the world provided by Cable network new programs, can’t be provided by books.
On the other hand, books also play a significant role in obtaining knowledge.For one thing, We can learn nearly everything from books :philosophy,history ,literature ,physics,mathematics anthropology and the list will go on. Unlike the television program which is limited by time and theme, books seem to have almost no limitation For another, not as television . books provides information which is much deeper and more conprehensive. “Pride and prejudice “is the book that touches me most. By reading the book ,I can feel how strong the power of love is .Meanwhile ,It’s the phychological discriptions that make me feel the slightest change of Elizabeth’s attitude to Darcy ,which certainly can’t be noticed through a movie on television.
In short ,it’s impossible to determine the ralative importance of television and books .Thus,it’s advisable for us to give equal priority to both of them. |
