BOOKS ARE BETTER THAN WATCHING TV/MOVIES
When it comes down to watching a movie or reading a book, most people grab the DVD remote control quicker than you would think. The truth is that watching movies takes much less concentration and effort. In a world where people are looking for the easiest route to take, it makes sense that they would rather watch a movie than stimulate their brain mentally. So, a great reason not to watch movies is to find something better to do with your time.
Firstly reading is much better for everyone. Reading allows the mind to be more motivated and you can actually learn a thing or two. Even when reading fictional books, you are mentally stimulated more than when you watch a movie or TV. In addition, most books are much less violent than today’s movies. So, if you want to have a more positive outlook on life, stay away from the negativity from movies, TV and choose to read a book instead.
Secondly reading is a great thing that should be encouraged for children. Children who like to read are better learners overall. They do better in school and have more self-confidence as well. So, instead of allowing your children to watch movies constantly, encourage them to read and not watch movies as often.
Thirdly you can carry around your book while your TV is at home. You can read your book in the park, boat, train and etc. You can break the TV, which would be expensive to repair, or you might need to buy a new one! In the movies there are other people and toddlers who make a lot of noise and you can’t here the voice of the actor and when people are eating all you here is crunch, crunch, crunch. It is so annoying!
I believe books are better than watching TV/Movies because books have interesting parts, it takes longer to read and it helps with your education E.g. comprehension, spelling and English

    Film is a primarily visual medium, while books rely heavily on the reader’s imagination. Books have an advantage when expressing thoughts and feelings as they can focus on what a person was thinking during their actions. This is much more difficult to do with films. This is similar to how each language has its own advantages and shortcomings. Some languages may be better at expressing certain types of ideas, while others may be better at expressing different types of ideas.…

    I believe that watching T.V supported my literacy. Televisions helped me build my literacy by supporting my critical thinking, problem solving, reading and writing skills. Ever since I was younger I would watch a ton of television. Some of my favorite shows growing up are Sesame Street, Wish Bone, Reading Rainbow and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Because of television, I would always be inquisitive and drive my family crazy with questions. However, I had to face a several barriers as a reader.

    You can see that if a person is reader, there is no way he/she would prefer the movie on the book. Books require commitment that very few in this world possess. Imagination and creativity is essential for a successful life, and books can provide both for a loyal reader. Very few people are considered innovative and creative and that is because the majority would like to sit on the couch with a movie playing on a 40 inch plasma screen. Without having the ability to think, imagine, and create new stuff in their brains. Even though a normal 400 page story would take you a couple of weeks to finish and a movie would only end in 2 hours. Books build deeper connections with the reader and the story, the characters, and the scene. Another major advantage that books have over movies is the point that your parents and your school teacher always explain when they begin to encourage your reading, is the vocabulary and the improvement of speaking and writing. Many kids began reading because of those two points that I thought were very useless. Guess they are not after all. Books do not have any kind of negatives or downhills from a readers perspective. All they do is add essential information to the…

    First of all, I would like to compare two ways of broadcasting information, namely TV and books. In my opinion, books are much more useful than Tv is and I believe there are several reasons to sustain this. One argument is that Tv addresses the large public and ussually transmits information that catches the eye of the audience, with themes such as violence, erotism, politics and humuour. Another argument would be that we usually don't know what we are going to watch when we turn on the Tv. On the contrary, we usually read a book that has been recommended to us. Thus, there are more chances to find interesting things in a book that was first read by a trustful friend than they are when we watck Tv.…
