SAMPLE
In discussions of leisure activities, many argue that watching a film is more enjoyable than
reading a book. However, I believe this is dependent on personal choice and interest.

Watching films creates a relaxing atmosphere as films often present captivating visuals and
soundtracks. Also, it offers a shared experience in which you can enjoy with others. On the
other hand, books help readers to be more imaginative As books focus more on the contents,
individuals can have time to explore their own thoughts. As a result, reading books might be
right for those who love visualizing the characters of the book.

In short, whether it is watching a film or reading a book, people can all have a unique
experience that suits personal interest.
Books offer a unique immersive experience that allows readers to engage their imagination
and personalize their interpretation of characters and settings. Additionally, the depth and
complexity found in literature enable a profound exploration of themes and ideas.
On the other hand, films provide visual stimulation and a communal viewing experience.
However, they often lack the depth of detail and personal engagement that books offer.
In conclusion, while both activities have their merits, the enriching experience of reading a
book cannot be underestimated. Its ability to transport readers to different worlds and provoke
thought makes it a timeless and enjoyable pastime
