127. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.

When asked which is better: Reading fiction or watching movies? Different people would have different answers. Those who prefer reading fiction say that reading can improve your written ability. Those who advocate watching movies, however, argue that we can enjoy ourselves from the large screen. From my opinion of view, I will agree that the latter one is more reasonable. My arguments are listed as fellows.

Don’t you think that watching movies is more exciting and stimulating than reading fiction? If you read fiction, you could only imagine the scenes what the fiction described. But if you watched movies, it was different. You can see the scenes on the large screen which give you the impulsion not only on vision but also on hearing. Did you see the Oscar film “The lord of the rings”? I saw it, the only word I can review to this film is “wonderful”. The film brings you grand scenery of New Zealand as well as splendid special effects. Everything in this film is beyond my imagination and I confirm that I can’t get these from reading fiction. Do you have the same feeling with me?

Another reason of my propensity for watching movies is that it is a great community activity. Compared with watching movies, reading fiction is an individual activity, you always read books by yourself except telling stories to your children. But what would people do if they planned to watch movies? There are seldom people who go to the cinema alone. Generally, people watch movies with their friends or their family. After seeing it, people always discuss the contents of the film, everyone has his or her own opinion to the film. The topic of the film occupies a part of our leisure time which can also enhance the friendship and relationship to everyone.

Last but not the least reason is that reading fiction is boring and wasting time to me. A novel, like “Gone with the wind”, is too long for me to finish reading it, although it is a famous and good fiction. Nowadays, competition for jobs is very fierce because of the high ratio of unemployment and business depression. I must put more time on my work than entertainment, nevertheless, watching movies can save much more time than reading fiction.

To sum up, given the reasons discussed above, we can safely reach the conclusion that watching movies has more advantages than reading fiction. I prefer watching movies to enjoy myself, why don’t you 0select the same choice like me?

112 some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?

When it comes to the issue whether children should begin their formal education at a very early age, different people hold different viewpoints. If I were faced with this issue, I would probably say that young children should spend more time playing. In the following discussion, I would like to present few of the most important reasons to support my idea.

The most important reason is that playing is fun. When we are young, we don not need to worry about anything at all. All we know at the time is play. Why? Simply because it is fun. Playing is something that a child will enjoy doing. This can let them know that life is interesting. In addition, we get the rest of our lives to study, why hurry for these couple of years? If you can understand this, you can understand my point more deeply.

Children can learn during playing as well is another head and chief reason that I have chosen to put here. Nowadays, companies develop all kinds of games for young children, such as 3D tic-tac-toe, Playdough, Lego and so on. You can learn a lot while you play them. For example, when young children play three-dimension tic-tac-toe, they establish the idea of the three-dimension in their mind. They not only think things on one plane, but also on numerous planes in all directions. This could be very helpful with future education in math, and the child may be interested in a study in math later on. Dont you think the above example is very persuasive?

Admittedly, there is an advantage for children who start learning early, which is getting ahead start. Nevertheless, the advantages of playing during early childhood carries more weight than the advantages of studying, so the most attractive conclusion is obvious.

To sum up, given all the reasons discussed above, we can safely reach the conclusion that playing is a better choice for young children. I think young children should play with their friends and play some meaningful games such as the ones mentioned above.
