People who read for pleasure have better imagination and language skills than those who prefer watching TV. To what extent do you agree? Reading a book and watching Television, both are helpful to improve language skills and imagination. Then, which one is more efficient? Some people say that reading books or articles is more efficient than watching Television. I totally agree this idea. This essay will deal with this idea and give my opinion about this. First of all, both of them are good ways to improve language skills and imagination. In case of watching Television, it is also helpful to increase language skills. For example, people can learn language by listening and repeating actors saying. Therefore, there is method of learning language which name is ‘Shadowing’. This is the one of the famous ways of learning language. People can learn language just by repeating what actor’s saying. However, there is big drawback that it is hard to understand the grammar. On the other hand, reading is good way to learning language skills. Unlike watching Television, people can learn language skills by reading more correctly than watching Television. Furthermore, it is helpful to imagine something. For example, if we read a sentence in the book ‘a man is standing on the road.’, when we read this sentence, we can imagine that his looks like, roads condition, buildings around him and so on. We can imagine and make scenes whatever we want. However, in case of watching Television, we can just accept scene that Television has shown that. To sum up, When I compare with these two, I can say that reading is more helpful improving language skills and imagination than watching Television. That is why I agree above idea. |
