▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that watching movies is a more satisfying hobby than reading books. However, in my opinion, Reading books can satisfy you much more than movies. Because unlike watching movies, when you read books, you can imagine the story that were not covered by writer.
To begin with, when you watch movies, you should absorb the story in just 2 or 3 hours, seeing and listening it. Reading books, however, could be imagined easily by reader because it consisted by only texts.
For instance, I am a huge fan of Hunger Game, the novel. One day, I heard that there will be a movie of the book. I was so exited and just went to the movie. But, It was so different from I imagined, and some stories were even cut. I was so disappointed and never went to watch other series. I thought that it is too short too depict the hugeness of the book. And I have still read the book instead of movie, with my imagination.
On the top of that, You can be satisfied easier because you must go to theater to watch brand-new movies, but can read books whenever and wherever you want. You can read books on bus, subway, even the break time of lecture.
For example, there was a poll conducted by the Cooperation of Good Reader in Korea with their 1,000 people of members as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand the consensus pattern about readers' behavior. The overwhelming 80% had responded that they read books on commuting way since modern people have not enough time to enjoy their pastime, they can use time much more effectively by reading books on public transit. The survey proves that people prefer to read books on time-efficient way.
To sum up, books would stimulate people's infinite imagination, and the best hobby to busy contemporary people.
In this regard, I firmly think that reading books is a perfect hobby to satisfy people. |
