38"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."
在电视时代,阅读已经没有原来那样重要了。人们可以通过看电视学习到和看书一样多的东西。
不同意
1. 电视主要提供信息,起到娱乐放松作用,在学习方面作用不是很大
2. 阅读仍然是主要的获得知识的来源方式,地位和以前是一样的
3. 让步:不否认电视仍然是一种获得知识的方式
结论:目前书籍仍是主要方式,结合电视可以达到更好的效果
With the popular of television, more and more people find that they can learn by watching television as reading books. People begin to ponder and discuss whether reading books is becoming less important than ever in that the television could afford the same approach to acquire acknowledge. In fact, just like that the effect of newspaper has not been weakened by the appearance of the radio, the crucial function of reading books has not been attenuated by TV absolutely. In current society, reading books is the main method of learning as it once was while watching television is effective complementarily.
First of all, nowadays the main function of television is providing information and entertainment. On the one hand, via the television, people could gain myriads of news concerning various fields, such as politic, sports, art and science. People should be noticed that it is merely a process of attaining information rather than learning. In this respect, the advantage of television over books is its vivid moving picture and euphonic voice. There is not any different in the concrete content. On the contrary, sometimes its merits turn out to be demerit since people are allured into the colorful video while they neglect the essence of information which is they need to learn in deed. On the other hand, it is obvious that most of television programs are associated with merchant profit. As for program producers, the higher audience rating a program has, the more profit they could gain. As a result, in order to attract more audiences, they must play some easy and comfortable programs, such as the situation comedy and inane game show, and they have to discard comparatively instructive program, which request audience to speculate deep actively as opposed to passively receiving during watching TV. The potential character of television determines that not all brainpower of people can be used utterly to study when they watching TV as reading books. Generally speaking, television cannot play the same role in learning as books since it is an informative and recreational access for people rather than study way.
More over, it is the inherent trait of reading books that make it the primary approach to learning today. First, reading books forces readers to ponder and absorb knowledge actively, which fires the imagination and memory of their brain, on matter the young or the old. Through reading books, people have the ability of thinking, which is more important than what they have learned to large extent. And what is better, this ability will company them and is beneficial to their study throughout the whole life. Contrastively, watching TV cannot do that. Second, books are more convenient media than TV sets. Freed from the shackle of electric, battery or TV machines, people can enjoy learning knowledge in any given place. Perhaps that is why people could read books in bus stops or parks as soon as they have spare time. Last, books are the resources which could be reviewed and cross-referenced as any time according to people’s will easily. In contrast, it is harder for people to replay what has performed program in TV without other facilities. In balance, as a traditional means of obtaining knowledge, reading books still maintains its pivotal status as it once did, therefore it is applied in almost all schools and universities till now.
However, no one can deny that some television programs could provide the same knowledge as books. Such programs do not focus on news or amusement any more, but pay more attention to how to teach people in a better way. Through combining acknowledge with lively description, people could learn as much as reading books. The National Geography program is a paragon, which become an alternative of National Geography Magazine. People could choose either of them to learn the geographic knowledge and animals’ habits. Under the circumstance, television program could be a good tutor too.
In sum, in most cases reading books have advantages over watching television when it comes to the media for learning, consequently reading books keep the same significant station as before. Nevertheless, as a novel media, television has its unique character and will be the complementary for books. Any one who longs for education should make good use both of two media. |
