谢谢珠珠的意见,今天重新看了下这片文章,边看边流汗,。。
修改:
Because of the increasing effect of television exert in our lives, the speaker asserts that people can learn as much knowledge by watching television as reading books taking account of the decrease of importance of reading in the age of television. However, as for me, I would contend that regardless of the increasing role television in our society, the importance of reading books can't be replaced, which can be substantiated by the following discussions.
One reason for my disagreement with the speaker is that television is not an ideal educational tool in this society honoring profits. Common sense tells us that as a wrist of manipulating pubic concerns, public media, television especially, has become a profitable market in which every entrepreneur striving to participate for their own interests. In this way, our earthly world fundamentally models these information-transferring approaches into a money-earning machinery instead of a favorable way to spread knowledge resorting to its own advantages such as convenience, cheap, huge cover. Just as it is in television, large amount of ads flooding around, recreational programs backed up by various groups trying hard to attract more attention, and the only existent didactic programs are on the edge of disappearance for lower investment and less showing time. Real facts convince me that television can not be a good way to teach.
What is also noticing is that the inherent defects of TV programs in its one-way decided arrangement. As we all know, timing, repeating, selection of contexts, which can be easily obtained in the traditional approach of reading, are some of the core elements of effective education, but the inborn destitute of these convenience in TV largely debilitate the flexibility of the learning process. And it is also widely known that preparation, noting and review, use to be amply implemented in reading, are the essential parts in learning process, but without the untouchable resources performed on TV, students can not carry out these learning methods to consolidate the impression of knowledge.
Lending further credibility to this topic, it comes to the extent of ideological contents the videos could take from the headstream, via the work of the producers of TV programs. Great philosophers, ideologists and writers record their resplendent thoughts in paper in order to be spread by the way of reading. However, a television program aiming at diffusing these thoughts would firstly be understood by the director and then remade with the help of many assistants. The mental differences between the originator and the directors as well as co-producers determine the gap in the transforming the appearance of ideologies. And when the gap comes to audience, it would be further enhanced and learning effect would be inextricably emaciated. Proper example can be see in the work of interpreters and film makers reappearing the great writers' works, but different types of criticism can be seen concerning about the poor appearance of initiative artistic tastes.
Notwithstanding the disadvantages of television education discussed above, the merits of this newly born teaching method should not be ignored: the information can be disseminated fast by the way of television webs, it covers the most part of this world, compared with books it is much cheaper with regard of the same volume of information and so forth. Thus television could also be a effective approach of teaching, when people are too young to understand words, when the books are to get, when the knowledge is more effectively transmit by experience other than literately taught just like basketball playing and car racing.
In sum, I am convinced that television can not equate the effect of books, not only because this new approach is born in a profit-persuing society, but also in the cause of its inherent deficiency of one-way arrangement as well as the ideological gap while transformation. Contrarily, taking account of its advantages, television would play a significant role in the future if the ethos and mentality of our era rise to a perfect level. |
