Reading for pleasure can better develop one’s imagination and language skills than watching TV can. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the popularization of electronics such as television, an increasing number of people choose to watch TV. Some people argue that to strengthen one’s imagination and language skills, reading for enjoyment is more satisfactory than watching TV. I disagree with the view.

Reading, a traditional way to enjoy oneself, presents a variety of novels, newsletters, editorials, specialized papers, etc.. It transfers authors’ stories, ideas, or intentions in the form of characters. Also, reader could learn how to use language correctly and accurately in a subtle way when they read literature. Also, the pictures of stories come to readers’ mind when they browse these literary works.

Although reading does benefits people, the obvious advantages of watching TV, which has become an indispensable form of recreation, is undeniable. Languages are transmitted not only in words on subtitles but in sounds to people who watch TV. Thus, it is an advanced approach for people to train audiences’ language skills as they need to understand diverse forms of language at the same time. Besides, TV programs supply audiences with more extensive and visualized recreational experiences. It is the way that deeply impresses audiences. For example, the images of the battle between human beings and exotic creatures in science fiction would come into one’s mind once their friends discuss the exploration of outer space in the future.

In conclusion, although both the two activities are sensible ways for relaxation, watching TV render more development since it provides vivid pictures and clear language than reading does.
