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.
