Film or a book?

In modern times with the advent of ground breaking technologies, several innovations have been
introduced in film making which seems to be replacing the trend of book reading. Whereas many
individuals consider watching film more entertaining and exciting, others favor reading books. In my
view, books and films both have equal benefits and downsides and it also depends on personal
preferences of individuals to choose book reading or watching a film in their leisure time.

Even though films are technology dependent, they are a great source for audiovisual learning purpose.
According to many individuals, their minds are more focused to learning and retaining the information
more efficiently with naked eye and auditory centre stimulated by motion pictures. Another factor
behind supporting films are the advanced graphics introduced in films that entertain human mind, for
instance, beautiful landscapes and majestic performances of the artists that keeps the person engaged
till the very end of the movie.

On the other hand, book reading in my opinion, is a healthy exercise especially for the mind. Primarily, it
stimulates the reader to use their own imaginative skills and set the scene in their minds, encouraging
better understanding of the written text and simultaneously improves vocabulary with an opportunity to
improve spoken and written language.

To conclude, undoubtedly, films and movies have their respective advantages and I believe it is a
personal preference whether to watch a film or read a book considering their advantages.
 Cinema or a sports centre?
In recent times, while a section of society is trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle through
exercising in gyms and participating in sports activities, others seem to be more interested in
visiting cinemas for entertainment and social purposes. Although visiting cinema with family or
friends give plenty of joy and happiness, exercising and engaging in sports activities regularly is
undeniably a more healthy, entertaining and rewarding activity for leading a better quality of
life.
Indeed, watching movies in cinemas is completely a different experience from watching them at
home. This is because of the big screen which attracts people attention significantly and keep
them on the edge of their seat till the end. Additionally, due to busy work life schedule, it is a
great opportunity for individuals to enjoy to the fullest with their friends and family, creating
good memories of laughter and joy in others presence. These moments, however, are
temporary source of relieving stress and relaxing mind and body, in comparison to the
countless benefits of utilizing the time and energy in sports and physical activities.
Admittedly, with the rise in obesity levels and acute and chronic illnesses, building sports
complex for people would be a much appreciated step and need of the hour for a number of
reasons. First and foremost, playing sports triggers a host of reactions in human body that helps
to stay healthy and achieve fitness. In other words, besides providing an opportunity to
socialize, entertain and have quality time, exercising and participating in sports improve overall
physical and immunological wellbeing.
To sum up, even though visitng cinema is a great option for entertainment, sports centres have
unlimited advantages for almost all age groups benefiting overall health and improving quality
of life.
 Importance of success in life
Road to the success
My idea of success in life
In modern times, success means different to every person. While some may consider money as
the source of success, others may value relations and consider them as a sign of successful life.
According to my point of view, I feel successful whenever I achieved good grades in my exams,
as I have a dream to become a reputable doctor in future.
Certainly to achieve my goal and to become successful a lot of effort and hard work is the key.
In other words, to succeed in my exams and be a doctor, I study diligently and will need to
continue my efforts unstoppable, no matter what ever hurdle I face. Consequently, I am sure a
day will come when I could make my parents proud and contended watching me successful in
my life ahead.
Apart from that, I also desire to afford a house of my own one day, where I could keep my
family safe and sound. This would also be a huge success for me as I could be able to release
their stress of giving rents monthly which is a huge financial burden currently. Likewise, others I
want to provide all the luxuries of life to my family in that house and until then I will not give
up.
To conclude, even though success cannot be defined and is different for everyone, for me
success means becoming a doctor and affording a house for me and my family.
