DeleteIn our leisure time we like to do what we want. We enjoy it and delight. However, we need to start thinking about its help for our development.
ReplyDeleteI partially agree that reading for pleasure develops imagination and betters language skills more than watching TV.
When we are reading a book, we can learn new words for us, and find some information about anything. Furthermore, people visualize characters, actions that happening in the plot, which can effect to the development of imagination. Thirdly, while reading we pay more attention for words than we watch the TV. Sometimes in the book we can notice definitions of words. Also book describes happening actions more detailed.
Nevertheless, watching TV can influence to us from the good sides, too. Cartoons illustration pictures in colors and make the character’s voices, gives full information of the occasion. Films can show some historic or vital situations, so that to understand and conceive its significance. TV programs give us information from all over the world, about the last news.
Consequently, both reading for pleasure and watching TV impacts to our development at all if we use and take its maximum benefits.
1. "Also book describes THE happening actions more detailed";
Delete2. "TV programs give TO us";
3. "definition of THE words";
4. "illustration the pictures";
5. "give full information";
6. IN my opinion you do not have enough argument so please try to imrpove your essay. You compare the benefits of them but it is not assuring. Thank you for yor essay.
Good job, BlackPink. I like your essay and your opinion. You used very good vocabulary and good structure.
DeleteDear, Lucky Dr.Robert! I disagree with you) Maybe it is your opinion, but I think that it is corret! Thank you for understanding!)
DeleteHello BlackPink,
Delete1. "In our leisure time we like to do what we want. We enjoy it and delight." - In our leisure time we prefer doing what we want and we enjoy it.
2. I partially agree that reading what we like for pleasure advances our imagination and improves language proficiency more than watching TV. DO NOT repeat essay question.
3."When we are reading a book, we can learn new words for us, and find some information about anything." - When we are reading a book, we can learn new words , and find some information about something.
Today, after work or lessons people come home and watch TV. When we eat food, have break, have time sit and watch TV, but sometimes peoples read books or some teenagers do not watching TV. Teenagers do not watch TV because they sit on social networks or surf on internet. Somebody wants
ReplyDeleteself-development and they read books.
……………………………………………………………………………….
I am not totally agreed with that “It's been proved that reading for pleasure develops the imagination and betters the language skills than watching TV does.” In my opinion watching TV can help for us, because in TV programs we have documentary channels like ‘national geographic’ or channels help children’s with mind growth like ‘balapan’, but better reading books. Reading books help to think out of the box, evolving our imagination. For example when we have new teacher she say if you want to develop you English, you must read National Geographic books. In one term I was read minimum 5 books and it is help for my English and knowledge. I now peoples who read lots of books and they have really good vocabulary .In my opinion every book work like that, it is help and develop lot of skills.
……………………………………………………………………………….
In conclusion I want to say that reading a book better than watching, because reading progress our imagination, thinking out of the box, develop creativity, learn grammar, you have lot of emotions. Read more books than sitting on internet or watching TV, it is help for you future.

GOOD LUCK!
Nowadays majority of people (75%) use a social media, 20% watch TV everyday as well as others do something like reading books. I do not know what can be found in social media and in TV news, channels. Mass media just washed a brain as give information about what people want to listen. From another hand books.
ReplyDeleteBooks give us more information than TV and a social media but nobody today reads it. If you can read books for pleasure you develop the imagination and betters language skills, understand all essence of the book. It is opportunity to change your world, out thinking as well as develop imagination. You can eradicate bore and enjoy reading, it is a fact about developing and better language skill than watching TV, scientists are proved this statement. I think instead of sitting in social media or watching TV, people should read books. As result of books give us more truth information, advance any skills, lexicon.
In conclusion, If we want to achieve our purpose, goals we must break away from TV, Social media, instead of this we should self-develop with reading books. Books are our treasure.
Nowadays,
DeleteHello Hames,
DeleteNot lexicon - vocabulary.
I like when you use lot of synonyms like TV - mass media.
Write 75% with out brackets.
You say ' others do something like reading books.' but later say 'but nobody today reads it.', please correct.
Please, give more argument to TV bad or good, because you have lot`s of arguments and facts.
Please, write in conclusion i want to say.
You can write before 20% minority or something like that.
lexicon is synonym of vocabulary.
Deletei want to say ~ I want
You can write before 20% minority or something like that.~ I like to give information in facts for sure.
Thank you for replying my essay.
Thank you too, not a toll.
DeleteHello, Hames. You wrote very good essay. However, you were need to write minimum 250 words, and there is less than 200. There is some recommendation for you:
Delete1. In my humble opinion, it will be better to write neccesary information not in brackets: (75%) use a social media, 20%. Using statistics is good, so try to make them a part of your sentence.
2. I cannot see your intoduction. Readers need to know what about you want to talk, so next time be careful.
3. "Books give us more information than TV and a social media but nobody today reads it. " - do not generalize.You should write "some people" or other versions, bot not "nobody".
4."If you can read books for pleasure you develop the imagination and betters language skills, understand all essence of the book." - better to write "Reading for plesure develops your imagination, improves you language skills and helps to understand all essense of the book.".
5."It is opportunity to change your world, out thinking as well as develop imagination. " - "It is a good opportunity to change your world, think out of the box as well as develop your creativity." (you used the word "imagination" before this).
6. " I think instead of sitting in social media or watching TV, people should read books." - 'In my point of view, instead of spend your time on social media , people should spend their precious time on reading books."
7."As result of books give us more truth information, advance any skills, lexicon." - "I am of the view that books gives us more real information, some helpful advances and develops our lexicon". Not all books gives us real information, so you need to write "In my opinion" or "In my point of view".
8. I would like you to change your conclusion.
Thank you!
1) “FANBOYS” always come with comma (,).
Delete2) Try to do not use “you” in your writings because for readers it will seem negatively.
3) What did you mean in this expression “understand all essence of the book” as it cannot give reader reason to read books. Well, I believe so.
4) “it is a fact about developing and better language skill…” this part is incorrect, and you can fix it like this: “it is a fact that reading books are developing and bettering language skill…”.
5) You wrote good essay, but you wrote there few words. Consequently, you need to work on your speed skills, since in future it going to help you.
Hello Hames !You did very good job !I enjoyed while reading your essay.However there are some grammatic mistackes:
Delete1)Here must be "better",because you are talking from second person-"If you can read books for pleasure you develop the imagination and betters language skills".
2)"Bettering" instead of "better" in that sentence:"You can eradicate bore and enjoy reading, it is a fact about developing and better language skill than watching TV"
3)"As a result,"instead of "As result books".
1)minumum 150 words
Delete2)It is a first writing
3)Freya please give accurate information where I have some mistakes.
4)I said any facts . If it was a my opinion I write about it that its mine opinion.
It's been proven that reading for pleasure develops the imagination and betters the language skills than watching TV does.
ReplyDeleteNowadays lots of people prefer watching TV rather than reading books. It became a social problem. People do not pay attention to books, however they started spend their time by watching TV.
Reading for pleasure develops the imagination and betters the language skills than watching TV does. I partially agree with this statement because people are developed their imagination and language skills by reading books. There are a lot of people assert that watching TV is much better than reading books.
I can prove this by giving these arguments. At first book is the main source of knowledge. Books teach us how to be more successful and find yourself in this world. Most of the people who read books have better thinking skills and imagination. At second you can choose what do you to read, however you cannot do the same things with TV. When the person want to spend his/her free time by watching TV the person will watch programs that TV have. The person will just change the channels to find appropriate show. On third TV are full of improper cartoons and films. People who are watch these programs cannot thing out of the box. People are becoming the slaves of TV. So, nowadays the majority of the people are declining from reading books. It is a very disturbing problem. Again, the reading and writing skill of a person can be developed by reading a book. Only watching television programs are not a good choice to advance these skills. We must remember that watching TV eradicate out health and creative thinking.
In conclusion I would like to say that only by reading books people advance their life. The TV does not stop people from thinking, but it makes it so that people forget about each other.
Thank you !

DeleteDear fatcatdog, both of "a lot of" and "lots of" correct, however please try to use only one of them for whole essay. After "at first" you need to put a comma. It will be more correct "to find yourself". "At second you can choose what do you to read, however you cannot do the same things with TV."---the meaning is little bit not correct, please try to correct i\this sentence. Due to it is "person", it will be "wants to". Here shold be an article "to find an appropriate show". The word TV encrypted as television so this word is singular, "TV is full". You have there little mistake, "cannot think out of the box". More correct if it is "skill of the person can be ".
DeleteI recomend to you work on your articles, "a" and "the". Although you told about somethind before, you put an article "a". You wrote an essay with a volume of 300 words. However, did not use conditionals, I hope that you will use them in improved essays. Remember that, we must put a comma after introductory words. You compare the two activity but if you can, try to improve it in next essay. Thank you, good luck.
It is been proved that reading for pleasure develops the imagination and betters than language skills than watching TV does
ReplyDeleteReading gives to us an opportunity to develop ourselves, our skills and logic, critical thinking, outlook and vocabulary. It has a lot of advantages. Reading is not only benefit, but also it is pleasure.
In my opinion, reading is help to better and prove. So that is why it is more helpful than watching TV. To understand that everything has own advantages, to show that watching TV is also good and informative; we should discuss and see the difference.
Reading, every person knows that reading books of different genres, gives to us the skills over there and to apply in everyday life. By reading, person can learn to feel others feelings, senses. You know it is make your soul more beautiful and make sensitive.
While you reading, you analyze the situations than happens there, and you will think critically, from another point of view, perspective. Furthermore, you will think globally. Also reading is proving your imagination. During the reading you may meet some problems in the book, and start thinking how decide that problems in your own experience. Moreover, when you meet situations such as them in real life, you can easily find the way out. You will start thinking out of the box, in your imagination will not have any bounds. And we cannot forget than you can learn lots of new and academic words, expressions, which you can use in your speech and writings. How you understand reading is improve your language skills, such as copious vocabulary, great grammar, and reading in short time.
What about the watching TV ?! It is very informative, we should note this. However, while you watching TV , your brain does not work in enough level. It is not relax or something else, it is just not work. May be you can take some new information; know what happens around the world. However, it does not help to improve some skills. After watching TV you may feel yourself tired and some headache, you want to sleep, you can use up your energy.
I hope that you can see the differences between reading the book and watching TV. Also I believe that you can make correct choice for yourself and try to develop. I believe you my dear friend. Stop watching TV, do not waste your time, read the book.
-Reading gives us (without "to")
Delete-Reading helS
-"In my opinion, reading is help to better and prove", please, can you see the translation of your sentences. It is not correct.
-"It makeS your soul..."

Good job!
Hello, "Lucky Dr.Robert". I am going to offer you my estimation of your essay. I hope you will read it carefully.
DeleteYou offer good ideas and I think you are mostly right. However, should not you add some benefits of watching TV? I think your opinion is too one-sided. If you present arguments and counter arguments more skillfully, you would be able to shorten your essay and make it look more constructive. Nevertheless, your essay is good, so - Thank you for your hard work!
Some mistakes I found:
1 paragraph, 1 sentence. It has been proved that reading for pleasure develops the imagination and betters the language skills than watching TV does. <– the correct version
2 paragraph, 1 sentence. It would be more correct to not use “to” after “gives” - “Reading gives us”
2 paragraph, 3 sentence. Two coordinating conjunctions (“also” and “but”) are placed together one after another in this sentence, so you should separate them - Reading is not only a benefit, but it is also a pleasure.
2 paragraph, 4 sentence. “In my opinion, reading helps us in bettering ourselves” – that is one of the correct forms.
2 paragraph, 5 sentence. Add “,” after “So”.
2 paragraph, 7 sentence. “We should discuss and see the difference” – you wrote, but an essay is not a discussion, so I suggest that you change it to smth like “We should analyze and see the difference”
3 paragraph, 1 sentence. “gives to us the skills over there and to apply in everyday life”. Firstly, do not put “to” after “gives”. Secondly, “over there” is used to point out locations, not genres of books. Thirdly, there is no subject but there is a verb in “and to apply in everyday life” – “gives us the skills related to them and an ability to apply those skills in everyday life”
3 paragraph, 2 sentence. The word “senses” is used to talk about physical senses, like touching, smelling and so on - “By reading “a” person can learn to feel emotions of others, their feelings.”
3 paragraph, 3 sentence. I do not recommend to make sentences directed exactly to a reader like “You know”. “Makes your soul more beautiful”, as for “sensitive” – I do not believe reading makes all the people more sensitive. Usually reading makes us more rational, though it gives us inspirations and emotions.
4 paragraph, 1 sentence. “While you “are” reading, you analyze the situations “happening in the books you read””, also do not add synonyms consisting of one word like “from another point of view, perspective”, if you like adding synonyms add them more appropriately: “from another point of view, different perspective”
4 paragraph, 3 sentence. “Prove” – is to justify smth, so correct form is - “reading improves your imagination”.
4 paragraph, 4 sentence. “During the reading you will be introduced to issues pointed out by authors of the book”, “start thinking on how to solve the issues”
4 paragraph, 5 sentence. “your imagination will not be bounded” without “in”
4 paragraph, 7 sentence. “By improving the degree of your understanding of what you read you also improve skills such as: short time reading, vocabulary, grammar…”.
5 paragraph, 1 sentence. Without “the” – Watching TV.
5 paragraph, 3 sentence. Add “are” – However, while you are watching TV, your brain does not work properly.
5 paragraph, 4 sentence. “I do not say your brain relaxes, I say it does not work enough”.
5 paragraph, 7 sentence. Does not help to improve your skills.
5 paragraph, 8 sentence. “After watching TV you may feel tired, slight headache, desire to sleep and lack of energy”
6 paragraph, 2 sentence. “make a correct choice and try to develop yourself”
6 paragraph, 3 sentence. “I believe in you”
ReplyDeleteFrom birth to death every person creates his personality and constantly develops. In our modern world, there are a lot of opportunities and amusements and many of them are aimed at developing of people’s invisible sides, creativity and talent. The majority of people prefer watching TV than reading books and in their opinion it is more useful and gives more pleasure. However they need to understand that time is very valuable and it cannot be returned.
I agree with this statement. Since people have learned literacy, they do not stop reading and writing. I am of the view that there is no better hobby than reading a book with a cup of hot tea in a rainy day. I can endlessly continue reading for pleasure and recommend you too. First of all, reading improves your creativity and will help you to think out of the box. After reading different books, you will not even notice how you began to compare yourself with the characters of the book and say like they. The contents of books are different, so you should not read only one genre. Be open to read various genres such as classical books and science fiction. Also, it is very important to understand that TV gives you temporary pleasure. Try to remember that after watching TV, instead of feeling rested you feel tired. I do not think that noisy news, meaningless TV series, boring films and not wise cartoons are better than books. I am not talking about all of them, but some of them may waste your precious time. Moreover, books develops your language skills as they uses academic and artistic language. You may open the world of new words, which will be useful for you. Unfortunately, some television programs do not use half of those words that are written in books.
In conclusion, I would like to say that reading for pleasure is one of the most useful and rare activities that bring not only pleasure but also benefits for you.
It's never too late to start reading. Reading is what's fashionable now.
-"books develop your language skills" (books, like a subject is in a singular form, so you can not write "developS" here

Delete1)Perephrase word "death" because its atrract negativaly on readers.
Delete2) Try to do not use “you” in your writings because for readers it will seem negatively.
3)If you say about different books you should notice a genre of this same books(say more about this genres)
4)Do not transform your opinion to facts.
5) With fatcatdog you have a similar mistakes. It is a copy? Ok do not matter. Television program ~ TV program
6)Exchange conclusion
Books always were best friends of people. Works of different genres and authors conquer hearts of readers. However, nowadays books have the opponent which calls TV. Both of them give information to their audience, but it is not always useful.
ReplyDeleteStatement says that reading foe pleasure better than watching TV.I totally agree with this opinion. Moreover, I have arguments for that.
Firstly, while reading for pleasure, we develop our imagination and creativity, especially fantastic books. You do not need to strain, you just enjoy your reading. It affords us opportunity to forget about daily problems.
Secondly, while reading books, we expand our vocabulary. Reader learns new expressions and academic words.
Majority of people like to waste their time while watching TV, which contains a lot of trash. TV is a stock of fake information and propaganda .
In conclusion, I would like to say, that we need to read more books, instead of cloking our mind with the rubbish from TV.
[***] Dear, I liked your essay very much. Firstly, you have a good comparison about advantages of reading books and disadvantages of watching TV. Moreover, you give similarity of both of theme since you wrote that "Both of them give information to their audience".
DeleteYou used new words such as conquer, strain and afford , which is going to develope your vocabulary.
These are the pluses of your work.
[***] However, you have to change some places to make better.
* Works of different genres - A lot of works in different genres and from various authors, ...
* books have the opponent which calls TV - books have AN opponent which calls TV (because you are talking about TV the first time)
* Statement says - The statement says (because we already have the statement as a topic and we have read it on the top)
* I have arguments - I have some arguments
* especially fantastic books. - especially WITH fantastic books.(Paragraph 2, 1st sentence)
* Reader learns - ReaderS learn
* IT WOULD BE BETTER IF you include a zero conditional, 1st conditional, 2nd conditional and 3rd conditional, because I could not find even one of theme.
So I will live here a link for these conditionals:

Hello, Micky Taryan!
Delete1)I totally agree with this opinion. ~ with this statement.
2)please perephrase a word "trash"
Some people consider watching TV, reading books or doing other stuff as their favorite activity. Moreover, we need to understand that reading for pleasure improves our imagination, makes us a little bit smarter, teaches us some expressions and ideas, betters our language skills as well as affects our knowledge and understanding about the world.
ReplyDeleteStarting from second part of 7th grade I and my classmates began reading books of national geographic series. All of us found them boring, not interesting. We thought that reading them would not help. However, it should be accepted that our skills have been increasing by reading these books. Although some books were interesting, helpful and full of information about our world. In one book you read about long journeys to find part of ancient kings of the Earth, dinosaurs, or in another book you will find out about bright colorful hummingbirds which live on tropical islands, you can meet stories about eastern countries, water pollution, in daggered whales and many more. Here you find out slangs in English, new expressions or other meanings of well-known word, and all of them made us more skillful. You can surf the internet to search thousand examples from lives of hundred famous people.
Thus I agree with this statement, but not completely because TV shows can affect you as books, too. Watching shows or other actions are going to help you if they are done for pleasure. For example, I start to study English language thanks to computer games. When I saw words on unknown English for me, I started to compare them with Russian, so I find out new words. However, they were simple like menu, kick, man, tree, and others. These examples are counting for hundreds, starting from TV until gaming.
In conclusion, I am willing to share the view that every activity that done for pleasure, especially reading will improve your skills and influence positively on your life and imagination. So let us doing it because knows language is way to communicate with other people as well as to express yourself, and let’s do it correctly.
Hello, Smart Wood!
Delete*Starting from second part of 7th grade I and my classmates began reading books of national geographic series. ~ "National Geographic" series.
*In one book you read ~ I read.
*if they are done for pleasure. ~ if they has reading for pleasure.
*I start ~ I started.
It is a best one essays in this blog. I like all of thing in this essay(new, academic words, structure of essay and a big lexicon). Good job!
Hi, Smart Wood !
DeleteI liked your essay very much, especially you made good structure.However,I found some mistackes:
1)Use "me" instead of "I" in that sentence:"I and my classmates began reading books of national geographic series."
2)Put "," after "Thus".
3)You are talking about past, so you should use past simple and write "started" in that sentence:" I start to study English language thanks to computer games."
4)Work with your articles,you have some mistackes with them !
2) Try to do not use “you” in your writings because for readers it will seem negatively.

DeleteImagination and language skills are mainly developed by reading books and watching the television. However, it is television which is more popular. People like television because of its functionality and variety of information, which it could provide, but is it really a better version of books?
ReplyDeleteTelevision is more modern than books. It has many functions, which books do not have. It shows us visualized information and provides new ideas audibly, there is a variety of channels and just by switching them you could find information almost for all spheres in life. People choose it because reading books is a more troublesome way to find information.
Although, the quantity of books is enormous, but finding an appropriate one is difficult. Using remote controller is much easier. To read books we need to have patience: we need to find a quiet and peaceful environment, so that others could not disturb us, we need to be in a place with good lighting, so that our eyes will not become tired, we need to immerse ourselves in books, so that we do not miss its content. On the other side, to watch TV we only need to buy one, install it inside a house, put batteries inside a remote controller and then enjoy watching TV programs.
Nevertheless, all the “trouble” we go through while pleasure reading is a valuable experience. This “trouble” is what makes pleasure reading so attractive. Only through enduring hardships could we gain something truly precious. That is one of the main reasons reading is considered more beneficial than television.
Hey, BrokenSapphire! I really like your esaay because of well grammar, good structrure and a tremendous reserve of academic words.
DeleteHowever, you must fix some moments:
1)"However, it is television which is more popular." --> it seems that sentence is not completed. Mybe you write:"However, in our world the majority of people prefer the television, so that it is more popular."
2)" This “trouble” is what makes pleasure reading so attractive." --> " This “trouble” is what makes reading for pleasure so attractive."
Reading for pleasure develops the imagination and betters the language skills than watching TV does.
ReplyDeleteI partially agree with this statement, because both of them have advantages and disadvantages.
Let’s start with reading. Of course, reading is always good, because it really helps to us to develop our imagination and language skills. All of us create perfect images of characters from books and that’s why it is good for our brain and imagination. Moreover, when we are reading, we should pay attention to the structure of sentences. Then it will teach us correct grammar and structure. We also say: “The book is the best teacher”, what is true. I learned a lot of new words in my life thanks to books, and it does not matter in which language, and I spent my time with pleasure.
What about television? Before saying something, I want to example one thing. Now, my little sisters and brothers know how to count up to ten and more, because of kid’s channels on TV. Moreover, their pronunciation is very good for their young age. I want to say, that on TV we also have advantages, like: good channels, developing listening skills and learning something new. Occasionally, we all want to relax for some time and the TV comes to rescue. Some funny shows help us when we really need it. However, it has disadvantages too. One of the reasons why I do not have time is that I waste my time with watching TV.
I spent my time with pleasure in both cases. However, in my opinion, we also need to spend our time for useful things. So, reading has more useful advantages, than watching TV and if we will read books more, we will maximize our strengths and minimize our weaknesses by learning.
Dear, Hannah21! I would to say that your grammar, essay structure and usage of good vocabulary are perfect. However, I want to give advice use "aware of" instead of "know" in this sentence: Now, my little sisters and brothers know how to count up to ten and more, because of kid’s channels on TV. Moreover, "waste time watching TV" is more clear.
DeleteNowadays, person’s brain is in difficult situation. People replace reading fascinating books with watching big screens of televisions. It is clear that it is going to affect the development of humanity.
ReplyDeleteFrom a long time ago, people knew that reading is a valuable way of evolving. Firstly, reading is the main part of developing imagination and creativity. Due to while person reads, he imagines and presents numerous number of pictures in his mind. However, TV shows us ready pictures, which may interrupt the development of our imagination, so that people can’t go out outside of the box.
Actually, language skills such as vocabulary and grammar develop by reading too. I would to share with my own experience about reading national geographic books, which I start read at grade 7. Somebody can say that it is boring and not useful pastime as we sure. Despite this, during reading these books I improve my English grammar, learn many academic words and memory skills. Memory is a thing, which we can practice by reading amazing books with different information.
TV does less benefit, than reading. That is obviously clear. Unfortunately, today the majority of people continue to spend their free time on watching TV and only minor amount do not forget about a world inside astonishing books.

people can’t go out outside of the box -> people can’t think out of the box.
People always think that there is better to look for television than read a book. However, looking for television decrease our critical thinking and imagination because the television always shows us opinions of other people. By listening other people our critical thinking will never start to develop. So I recommend you to read books. There are many pluses here!
ReplyDeleteBy reading we can improve our creativity and thinking because while reading we picture the location, people and their feelings. Moreover, we start living inside of the book and experiencing whatever the characters of the book feel.
Honestly, when I started to read national geographic books, I thought that it will never help us. However, national geographic books really affected to me and I understand that it is very helpful to improve language skills by reading.
Firstly, books can increase your vocabulary. It really helps you, when you need to said something in different word, but keep the meaning of that word too.
Secondly, reading books improving your grammar. After reading some books you will start pay attention to sentence structure, grammatical mistakes and other small, but important things.
I think, that you will agree with my opinion that we have more advantages in reading than in watching TV.
Dear, Young Jake. You wrote good essay with good ideas-well done! However, you made some mistakes and I think that it will be better if you will write:
Delete- “People always think that it is better to watch television than read a book.” instead of “People always think that there is better to look for television than read a book.”
- “However, watching TV…” instead of “However, looking for television… ”. “Looking for” means searching something.
- “…it will never help me…” instead of “…it will never help us…”, because you said “when I started to read”.
- “I understood” instead of “I understand”
- “…when you need to say…” instead of “…when you need to said…”
- “…reading books improve your grammar.” Instead of “…reading books improving your grammar.”
- “…in reading books than…” instead of “…in reading than…”.
I look forward to see your next improved essay.
With the development of television people forget about books that really improve their imagination and language skills. Television plays an important role in our life. Every day we turn on the TV and watch news or films. To eat and watch simultaneously is comfortable and it becomes a part of our routine. For someone television is his or her work. There are so many reporters, operators and speakers who work very hard to provide as more new information as they can. However, we cannot stop reading.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the statement that reading for pleasure the imagination and language skills than watching TV does. Firstly, we see figures in our mind during reading. Concerning television it shows you ready pictures, your creativity does not become better. Secondly, while reading we memorize sentence structures and learn new words. On the other hand, when you watch videos you hear the audio and do not remember all information.
In my own experience, reading is the most useful way if you want to refine. I watched American films but it was hard for me to learn new words. Of course, I carry on do that for my listening and speaking. However, I noticed a real progress when I started to read National geographic books in grade seven. These little books contain a lot of academic words. Furthermore, the majority of the stories are interesting. There are levels so that you can improve your skills step by step.
In conclusion I want to say that everybody has the freedom to choose but I advise you to read instead of watching TV.
Hello, Margo. Your essay structure is very good, I liked it very much.
Delete1. ...reading for pleasure the imagination and language (I think you forgot a verb in this sentense)
Great job!
Nowadays, in the 21 century, in the epoch of new information technologies and robotics, Internet and television are playing important role in our life. Today’s life cannot be imagined without smartphones and gadgets. Consequently, every human spend approximately 2-3 hours per a day by surfing in Internet, watching TV channels and chatting. Because of this, television gradually replaces books, and it turns to a global problem.
ReplyDeleteTelevision badly affects on people. In recent years, by watching films, advertisements and movies human society has “clip thinking”. It means that people’ memory stores information by short video. The concentration and level of learning are become low. Watching TV gives us a lot of information, but sometimes not needful.
It’s been proved that reading for pleasure develops the imagination and language skills. When you read books, you receive a lot of interesting and needful information. I would like to say that I started reading since 5-6 years. I very like books about adventures and sci-fi. It really develops my imagination and grammar.
I completely agree with the statement belong, because as a result people changed thinking and became addicted of new gadgets and television.
The hero of our world, you did the excellent job! However, there is a minor mistake:
Delete"every human spend approximately 2-3 hours per a day". It is not already clear about PER A DAY. We actully can say 2-3 hours A DAY or 2-3 hours PER DAY, but not both of them at the same time.
Hello
Delete1)...in the epoch of... era
2) in the 1 paragraph you must write if you agree or disagree with the essay queshon. I thing you are a little bit out the topic, make sure to use new words from our last reading text.
Have you ever thought about how important books are? How many of good ideas you had lost leaving books on your old shelves? People rather watch TV than read books, and this can make a difference in the not-so-distant future.
ReplyDeleteBooks are just like teachers, they teach us how to think. While reading, person uses his own imagination to create images of characters, buildings, even whole countries in his mind! Is this comparable to what the TV offers? Ready-made thoughts, prepared phrases and no need to think. I guess that's what attracts people so much. All that remains after watching TV is wasted time.
Moreover, books are truly useful, when person learns new language, because they improve vocabulary, sentence structure and grammar. They help to develop reading skills and critical thinking. I have a life example. After changing my school my English level was not bad, but I did not know a lot at the same time. In that case, reading helped me to develop and taught me how to think out of the box. I started reading actively, especially National Geographic books. I wrote down every new word for me, and for now I have got the thick notebook full of useful words and phrases. It has been a long way learning, but I am aware of that it was not in vain.
Reading is a pleasure, which everyone can get easily. So instead of wasting free time, better read more!
Good!!!
DeleteBut I thing you must add sentence which we learn on lesson
“When I was your age, television was called books” say writer William Goldman, because now television replaced books. Teenagers all the free time sitting in the internet and maximum read magazines about fashion or cosmetic. But it’s bad or not?
ReplyDeleteBooks educate us. For example, reading develops our grammar and punctuation. We maximize our vocabulary by reading books.
Books train our imagination. We receive only ready information by watching television as a result our imagination does not evolve. Conversely when we read books we start imagining. For example, in my childhood my mother used to read fairy tales to me before I went to bed.
Books help learn new languages and cognize new culture of other nationals. I am aware of opportunities developing knowledge of other ethnic groups for our generation.
We mitigate threats of lack of education, because more students don’t want study.
Hello, Marshal Lee. You have got a big progress as I can notice.
Delete1) television has replaced books. (It is better to use Perfect tenses in this case)
2) Books help to learn new languages
Great job!
Reading develops imagination and language skills than television. Do you agree or disagree?
ReplyDeleteAt our 21st century new technologies are developing very fast. Moreover, television is emerging, too. However, writers are not disappeared, yet, so why people stop reading? Furthermore, is it true that reading develops imagination and language skills more than television?
Firstly, I want to say about our imagination. When we are reading, we don’t see anything, only read so we will imagine that character, scene in our mind. Person chooses clothing, eyes, generally everything he wants. It will be like we are living at another planet, when person reading it is like he is with his dreams. What happens with us, when we watching television? We don’t thinking, only looking at blue screen. Maybe we will not like externality of person. For example: we may response main character as 20 -25 years old handsome man, with lush hairs and perfect snow-white smile, but at film it completely different.
Let’s talk about language skills. When we are watching television, we don’t think about anything besides film. Admit honestly, do you think how spelling this word or using this or that grammatical rule wrong, while watching film? However, when person is reading book, he subconsciously learning some grammatical.
For example: Our class, we are reading “National Geographic” from 7th grade. In my mind we write much better than before. From these books I learn words, collocations, such as: mournful thought, gentle sorrow, misfortune, meanwhile and etc. Moreover, I think that my and my classmates grammatical changed a lot.
I can say that reading books much better than watching TV. Furthermore, reading develops imagination and language skills than television.
