Reading books and watching TV are two main channels to cultivate imagination and develop language skills. Nowadays, a controversial issue about whether individuals reading books for enjoyment are more capable of practicing their vision and taking a command of languages or not has been into fierce discussion. In my opinion, reading can better people’s imagination and language abilities.

A1. 阅读书籍 – 语言输入 – 语言技能 – 语言输出
To begin with, from books, readers are not only able to grasp the author’s concepts and ideas, but also have a comprehensive understanding of the social background. Another merit of reading is that people can hone their language abilities, especially in expanding vocabulary and improving writing skills.

A2. 读书需要安静的环境 – 利于启迪智慧
Reading for enjoyment definitely can stimulate one’s imagination. Unlike watching TV, readers cannot see the vivid pictures but the lines. They have to associate the words with certain things in their mind , thereby arousing their imagination.

B1. 让步+反驳
There is no denying that TV viewers are able to experience both visual and sound effects at the same time. As a result, their imagination could be stimulated to a large extent.

B2. 让步+反驳
What is more, watching TV programs is absolutely a good way for children to improve their communicational skills, as they cannot recognize as many words as *s. To put it another way, reading books is not an advisable choice for them to enhance language skills.

B3. 让步+反驳
But, on no account should we ignore that the information conveyed by TV programs are usually overloaded. Viewers can hardly grasp and accept these informative contents within a short time. So, watching TV too much tends to shift their attention from the content itself to the processing of information.

To sum up, although watching TV may have certain positive impacts on viewers’ imagination and language skills, reading books are able to develop individuals’ such capacities better, I believe, due to the diversity and detailedness of books. The point is that people are supposed to read more, not regarding studying as a burden, but reading for pleasure, which is the most important factor readers should consider.
