▶ Your Answer : Some people think that reading books is a better hobby for people to spend time than watching movies. However, in my opinion, it is better to watch films than read books. This is mainly due to the fact that movies that one enjoyed can be the subject of talking between other people, and you can watch films with others while one usually read books alone. To begin with, one can easily choose topics of conversation from movies which he or she watched in the past. That is, you can talk with other people about what you felt or how you were impressed when you watched them. For instance, a poll was conducted by Seoul National University to determine how one find the subjects of his or her daily conversation with 300 people as respondents. They were asked to answer the reference of the talks with their friends, coworkers, and so on. As a result, the majority of the respondents claimed that films are the most pivotal source of their usual conservation topics. In detail, an overwhelming 72% had responsed that they usually talk with others about what they felt and thought about the movies they have watched. The result of this survey shows that movies are one of the most important bridge between one and the others in the daily conversation. On top of that, one can watch movies in unison, whereas reading books usually end up enjoying them alone. Put it concretely, you can go to the movie theater and watch films with your friends, family members, coworkers in the workplace, and so on. Such experiences are able to form strong friendships with those who watched movies with you. I would like to take the example of my story. There was one friend who were not friendly with me due to fighting with me. Therefore, I suggested him to go out and watch a film together, and we made a promise. After enjoying the movie, we could talk a lot about the film we watched and became kind to the other again. If it were not for the film we watched, we could not be a good friend. To sum up, movies can provide you with topics about which you can talk with others, and offer good time you can enjoy with others. In this regard, I firmly believe that watching films should be the better choice of one's pastime than reading books. |
