Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can learn more from watching television than reading books. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.（02/03/07）




Before the birth of television, book is the main character in the stage of our daily life. However, the supremacy of books has been challenged by the introduction of a special device with images-vivid, powerful, and realistic images-into the life of we human beings no matter we are in the rural areas or in the urban places. The appearance of television in the twentieth century marked the coming of a new era-the Information Age.

During half of the century, an enormous change has been happened. People are gradually accustomed to this new-born media; the acceptance rate of television was approximate to 65.43% during a research in the year of 1998 in China. The result suggested that TV became the necessities of the life. Through this little fancy box, people get to learn around the world, catch up the latest current affairs without traveling around just staring at this little box with images. The world became so familiar, even a three-year-old kid could point at the screen of the TV murmuring that gentleman standing in front of The White House making a speech is George Walker Bush, the ex-president of United States of America. The world becomes so small as if we were living in a village, while Mr. Bush is my neighborhood whose house adhering mine. Also，television has revolutionized the way we study. The TV sets have been introduced to schools for students to learn about curriculums, and review the knowledge after-class through VCD. It might be so convenient for student to study even they are out of school, out of class. The abstracted mathematic and twisted science come to an easy way with the illustration of images for students to absorb what he had learned.

While the trend of television is sweeping around the world, someone doubted the real value of this device for books had been ignored for so long that someone even cannot remember when did he/she picked up a book being addicted into it while people are willing to make a scarification-devoting all their time to watching TV. The mass media filled with violence stimulate the fear of becoming victims of violence this would be mimic by the children who are on the essential stage of forming their personality. What’s more, adult-oriented messages would be sent to the children without reference to the safety of sex, the possible risk of sex, and the responsibility o f sex. Also, people who are addicted to televisions prefer staying before the TV quietly to communicating with families. Life after job has been so dull, yet people still forget to pick the book covered with the dust tasting the fancy world along the direction of the writer. Philosophy, novel, poetry….these essence of the words has been hidden in the dust for long.

So, in order to take respect of those great works during the history of literature also keep away with the negative messages from the television, I always and still stand for reading books!
