▶ Your Answer :
People might argue that people learn more by reading book than watching television. On the other hand, I believe that people learn more by watching television for the following reasons : visual aids help people understand better and television provides all kinds of information all around the world.
To begin with, people can understand better by looking at the visual aids provided by television. There will be no misunderstanding of picturing things unlike the books. Because books are written in words, describing things, there can be misunderstanding if one understand the description wrongly and think of the thing the other way. To be specific, my little brother was studying about wild life animals. He asked me what a zebra is and how it looks like. Thus, I started looking for a book that describes the zebra. But it was difficult for him to understand the description of the zebra in the book. I found out that he was thinking of other animal in his mind instead of zebra. Then, I looked for a program that shows animals on television. My brother got what a zebra is at once and he was also able to learn about other animals as well by watching television. There could be no misunderstanding of him to match the name and the look of the animals. This implies that watching television helps people to learn more, accurately.
In addition, people can learn wide variety of things by watching television. This is due to the fact that almost everything, even the sound can be captured by cameras and shown on televisions. We can learn lots of information from all over the world by just watching televisions. For example, if I am curious about the place opposite of the globe from where I am living, I can just find a television program related to the topic then I can see as well as hear how people live and speak. This implies that as books cannot be provided with sounds and visuals that move, television would be a great help for people to learn more including all points mentioned above.
In brief, although books are also a good tool for learning, the advantages of watching television far outweighs for the reasons I have mentioned above.
