▶ Your Answer :Some people think that people prefer and satisfy to read books in their free time than watching movies because they can learn a lot of thing by reading books. In my opinion, however, watching movies is a more fulfilling hobby than reading books for several reasons. First, people can spend time with their family and friends while watching movies. Second, watching movies spend less time than reading books. To begin with, people can watch movies with their family and friends, and it will be a great time for them. People tend to satisfy when they spend time with their meaningful people, such as family, friends, and teachers. On the other hand, it is hard to read a book together. For example, a study conducted by the Board of Education of Korea in 2010. There was a huge difference between two groups of students in happiness. Students in Group A watched movie with their friends and family in their free time once a week on average. In contrary, students in Group B did something alone, such as reading books, and writing essays in their free time. What researchers found was intriguing. The former group was more satisfied with their lives than the latter one. Moreover, the former group got grades better than other group. This was because spending time with family and friends is more effective way to relieve their stress and make them happier. On top of that, watching movies spends less time than reading books. To be specific, some books have a large amount of series books, such as The Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings, and reading them will take forever. In contrary, watching a movie takes only two hours. For example, I will talk about my story to explain this. When I was in high school, I really liked to read books, especially fantasy novels. I had started reading the Harry Potter, but I did not have enough time to read all series of books because I had to spend most of my time on studying for SAT. So I decided to watch a movie, the Harry Potter, and I was totally satisfied with that. This was because I was able to save a large amount of time and I enjoyed the story of the movie, almost same story of books. To sum up, people can have a quality time with their family and friends, and they can save much more time by watching movies. In this regard, I think it is better to watch movies than to read books in order to be more satisfied. |
