▶ Your Answer : Undoubtedly, books and movies play a
significant role in people’s lives in many of the places where they work or
play. Some people think that one can learn a lot about a person from the books
and movies that the person likes, while others do not. If I were asked to
choose one, I would say that it is difficult to say that one’s favorite books
or movies tell all about who the person is, but they convey certain
perspectives on that person. There are several reasons as follows.
To begin with, when people prefer reading
or watching something new and stimulating, it means that they need a diversion.
It gives them a chance to experience something different from what they would
do in their usual routine. A new experience tends to prevent them from feeling
bored in life. For example, my sister was in high school, she often felt
depressed thinking that her life became an exhausting routine. To survive in a
competitive world, she spent the whole day studying all academic subjects, hoping
that she could outdo others. Fortunately, she was able to deal with such
pressure and stress in a safe way by spending her free time watching horror
movies. In this regard, books and movies that one likes give some information
on that person.
In
addition, people like to read nonfiction and watch documentaries when they want
to learn a life lesson. Nonfiction and movie documentaries deal with practical
information on how to succeed and stay happy in life. When such information is
obtained, it is likely to bring a better result. According to a study conducted
by Tokyo University, two groups of young adults showed a huge difference in
academic performance. One group consisted of those who preferred reading
biographies of great figures and the other group was made up of those who liked
reading fiction. Although the second group showed a greater creativity, the
first group had a higher score on the SAT than the second group. To be
specific, most of the first group members read books to gain more practical
knowledge. On the other hand, many of those in the second group read book to
spare time. This implies that one’s favorite books or movies can provide
insights on the character’s personal characteristics.
All
things considered, I strongly believe that a person’s favorite books or movies
tell what kind of person he or she is for the reasons I have mentioned above.
All in all, importance of books and movies cannot be overestimated in
understanding people.
Fair: 17~23 점수 : 23 일단 전체적으로 문법적 오류가 별로 없이 잘 서술하였습니다 하지만 문제가 된다라고 생각하는 것은 주제와 벗어난 것 같다라는 느낌이 듭니다. 이 에세이의 주된 목표는 사람들이 읽는 책과 보는 영화를 통해 그 사람을 더 알 수 있냐 라는 것인데. 이것에 연관지어서 서술한 각 바디들이 주제와 전혀 맞지 않는 연관성이 없는 예시와 이유들이 서술되었습니다. 따라서 좀 더 주제와 맞게 에세이를 서술하시는 것 을 추천 드립니다. 수고많으셧습니다.
