Some people believe that it is better to attend a live performance than to watch it on television whereas others hold an opposite view. As for me, I would like to side with the latter people because it is more exciting and I can build a social relationship with other people by attending a live performance.
To begin with, attending a live performance such as a play, concert, or sporting event makes me more excited rather than watching it on television. I do understand that it is not always exciting because sometimes I have to suffer from the crowded space. It, however, seems to me that the benefits of attending a live performance far outweigh the disadvantage. To illustrate my view point, if I go to the stadium or theater, I am not the only one who is watching and enjoying the play. Therefore I can concentrate on watching the play much better and enjoy the atmosphere with other people. I think 'The World cup game' in 2002 which was held in Korea explains my viewpoint very well. When the play was showing, so many people including me gathered on the street, and enjoyed together. I'm pretty sure that it would not be that fun if I watched it at home.
In addition, I can build a good social relationship by attending a live performance and blowing my stress with other people. Of course, it is not the only way of building a good social relationship, but in my opinion, it is one of the most effective ways of doing so. For instance, I watch television at anytime when I am home and I feel really different to go to watch play or such things with friends. Since people usually get stressed from working or studying, they can clear their head or mind by enjoying entertainments with friends or family. Plus, we usually do not go home straightly after finishing the performance. Instead, we go to a restaurant to have dinner and have some coffee. I firmly believe that spending time together makes us get close to each other. I think that is why when man attracts woman, he asks her to go to see a movie or have dinner.
Taking all of these things into account, attending a live performance makes me more excited and concentrated on a play. Moreover, I can make a better social relationship. Thus, there is no doubt in my mind that attending a live performance is benefit for us. |
