考题:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can learn more from watching television than reading books. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
范文:
Most parents and teachers believe that television is just a distraction, but I think that people can learn more from watching television than from reading books. The main reason is that television is more suitable for modern lifestyles. Most people spend the majority of their time working or studying and they do not have a lot of free time. Reading books is time-consuming and often we need to think carefully about the information. Television can use pictures, videos, written and spoken words, and music to transmit information, so people can absorb information more quickly.
As well as being more efficient, television is also more convenient. People only need to buy one television and this brings all the information to their homes. There are hundreds of different television channels with a great variety of information. Some are general, like CCTV 1, but many focus on specific subjects, like the Discovery Channel. Often the information is not something that we have considered before. On the other hand, before we can read a book we must go to a bookshop or library to get the book, and we need to know what kind of book we want. Therefore, I believe that television is better at introducing people to new ideas.
Although we can learn about more things from television, it is also true that television does not give us a deep understanding. In order to entertain people, television programs present information in a very simple way, whereas books allow people to explore a topic in detail. While people can learn about many things from television, they only learn a little about each area. People might learn about fewer things from reading books and spend more time, but they learn more about each thing. To me, the quality of information is more important than the quantity.

你是否同意如下观点?人们看电视比阅读书籍能学到更多的知识。请用具体的事例来说明。
大多数家长和老师认为电视只会分散注意力,但我认为人们看电视比阅读书籍能学到更多的知识。最主要的原因是电视更适合于现代的生活方式。多数人每天的大部分时间都用于工作和学习,他们没有多少闲暇时间。阅读书籍是个需要消耗时间的活动,并常常需要仔细思考书中的信息。而电视可以使用图片、视频、书面和口头文字以及音乐来传递信息,所以人们能更快的吸收这些信息。
除了更有效率之外,电视也更加便利。人们只需要买一台电视,就可以让电视为他们家中带来所有信息。成百上千的电视频道提供了各种各样的信息。有些频道的信息是综合类的,例如CCTV1,但是有些频道关注某些特定主题,例如探索频道。这些信息往往都不是我们曾经注意过的。而另一方面,在我们能够阅读一本书之前,我们必须去书店或者图书馆取得书籍,并且了解所需要的书是哪种类型。因此,我认为电视能更好的向人们引入新思想。
虽然我们可以从电视中学到更多的知识,但是电视并不能给予我们对于事物的深刻理解。为了去娱乐观众,电视节目以简单的方式呈现信息,而书本则能让读者更详尽的探讨一个主题。当人们在电视中学习新知识的时候,他们只能在各个知识领域浅尝辄止。人们阅读书籍也许用更多的时间获得了较少的知识,但却对每项知识学习的更深刻。而对于我来说,知识的质量比其数量要重要的多。
