Reading vs watching TV The reading is a valuable habit for centuries. It is a well-known fact that reading makes people smarter and helps to develop our imagination. In contrast, watching TV does not require to use the imagination and think deeply during entertainment programs. Firstly, reading can help to develop our imagination and as a result creativity. When people are reading they can imagine almost any appearance of heroes or a view of different places, while the television shows a prepared picture with all certain details. Secondly, in the vast majority of books is something, which is written between the lines. Mane readers can think in a more profound way than television viewers. For example, some books leave their readers with deep and long thoughts. A good example of those books is classical literature, such as "War and Peace" or "Anna Karenina". The last but not the least is the different purpose of watching TV and reading books. Usually, TV programs and films are created to entertain us. Furthermore, a big part of TV content is relaxing and easy to watch. People do not need to even think about what they watch. Moreover, they do not use their imagination. On the other hand, many books are more complicated. Sometimes it is hard to read after a stressful working day, but books are a high-quality type of leisure. However, there are some beach read books, which do not require any thoughts or imagination. of their readers. To sum up, a lot of TV programs and soap operas were created to entertain the TV audience and do not develop our ability to the imagination. I strongly believe that reading books can help us be more creative and develop our imagination as well.
