▶ Topic : Reading books is a more satisfying pastime than watching movies.
▶ Your Answer :
Some people believe that it is better to watch a movie than read a book. They contend that a movie is interesting and fun because it can convey a lot of sound and videos. However, in my opinion, reading books can be a satisfying hobby for a lot of people for the following two subsequent reasons.
First and foremost, reading books can spark a reader’s imagination. Since a book can not convey any sound or videos, a person naturally imagines all the details of a story in his mind. In this process, he can develop his imagination and it can also stimulate his creativity stimulating his creativity. On the other hand, a movie can show every things such as a character’s appearance, voice, and facial expression, which limits a viewer’s imagination limiting the viewers' imagination. For these reasons, people are likely to be bored watching movies become bored when watching TV. I will talk about my personal experience as an example. A For example, a (I'll talk~같은 표현은 구어체이기 때문에 적절하지 않습니다) few days ago, I read a book, “Sherlock Holmes”, and found that it is very fun. Reading the book, I imagined all the details of the main character, which was very interesting experience for me. However, after watching the movie which was made based on the book, I was really disappointing. Because the movie made me receive all the information passively. I could not imagine anything about the story on my own.
On top of that, reading books can deal with diverse academic topics. To explain, movies usually cover funny stories which can not help viewers to learn something since most movies are made for entertainment as it is made to entertain people. However, by reading books about a wide variety of topics, a person can broaden one’s knowledge and horizons of the world as well. There was a survey wich was conducted by a group of education majors with 300 university students. The participants were the students who received good grades in their schools. The survey questions were about how they could get good grades. More than 65 percent of respondents replied that they usually read a lot of books when they have time to spare. This is because they They (this is because는 적절하지 않는 표현 입니다) could learn a lot of things which they had not known before through reading books. Also, they replied they were able to understand difficult concepts during classes based on the knowledge they get from books.
To sum up, movies can be boring because they can limit viewers’ imagination. Moreover, people can get a lot of knowledge by reading books. For these reasons, I firmly believe that reading books is a satisfying pastime for people.

약간의 어색한 표현들이 있습니다.이러한 표현들은 에세이 플로우로 하여금 방해를 줍니다. 에세이 플로우가 방해를 받다 보면 본레 자기가 전달하려고 했던 의미들이 변질이 되기 때문에 제가 지적한 부분들을 숙지하면서 에세이를 서술하시길 바랍니다. 이러한 부분 이외에는 전체적으로 자신의 주장을 잘 전달하고 있습니다. 각 단락의 구체적 설명과 적절한 예시들을 통하여서 왜 책을 읽는 것이 영활르 보는 것 보다 나은지를 잘 설명하고 있습니다. 수고많으셨습니다.
