BÀI MẪU 01 – SAMPLE  ANSWER 02

People say that reading for pleasure helps people to develop imagination and better language skills than watch TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Although it is believed that pleasure reading is a better way to improve imagination and linguistic skills, I think that learning through watching TV is as effective as reading.

Of course, reading for pleasure brings benefits to the readers. When reading, the readers have to use their creativeness to comprehend the concept and the context delivered in the book. For example, children reading fiction may need to visualise the event written in the book, therefore improving their imaginative thinking. Also, reading can enhance the language, especially in reading and writing. As a language teacher, I have seen students reading a text in their native or foreign languages and have questions about the vocabulary, sentence structure or grammar use. This has helped them better understand of grammatical and lexical usage.

Many people think that TV is not a good choice to enhance imagination and language ability because they might focus too much on commercial and entertaining programmes. However, they should realise the fact that other channels such as tourism or news inform audience and help them imagine the world around. Otherwise, those who want to improve their thinking and imaginative skills can watch many educational programmes as quiz shows. I think the matter is only watching appropriate programs. In terms of language skills, people can improve their listening and speaking skills as they can listen to the sound of the word and the use in spoken context with vivid images to illustrate the exact meaning.

In conclusion, reading is often recommended to improve language capabilities and imagination power for an individual, but the role of TV in the individual’s development of verbal abilities and imaginative thinking should not be underrated.

BÀI VIẾT 02 – SAMPLE ANSWER 02

It is believed that pleasure reading is a better way to improve imagination and linguistic skills than watching TV. I agree with this idea for some reasons.

Of course, reading for pleasure brings benefits to the readers. As a language teacher, I have seen students read a text in both their native and foreign languages and have questions about the vocabulary, sentence structure or grammar use. This has helped them better understand of grammatical and lexical usage, especially in reading and writing. Also, when reading, the readers have to use their creativeness to comprehend the concept and the context delivered in the book. For example, children reading fiction may need to visualise the event, therefore  improving their imaginative thinking.

Similarly, watching TV can enhance imagination and language ability. Viewers can improve their listening and speaking skills as they can listen to the sound of the word and how it is used in spoken context with vivid images to illustrate the exact meaning. In terms of imagination, many channels such as tourism or news inform viewers and help them imagine the world around. Otherwise, those who want to improve their thinking and imaginative skills can watch many educational programmes as quiz shows.

However, the reason why TV is not a good choice for learning such skills lies on the fact that it is more difficult to keep our attention on learning when watching TV than reading. Televisions focus on increasing ratings for the higher profit from advertising so that they often catch viewers’ attention on commercial or entertaining channels rather than educational ones.

In conclusion, although watching TV can improve language capabilities and imagination power for an individual, I think that reading is better and more effective than watching TV.

BÀI VIẾT 03 – SAMPLE ANSWER 02

There is a widespread saying that books and novels spur the imagination and language skills much more than any TV programme. I believe that this notion holds true no matter what modern technologies are used on TV and TV media production. The reasons are simple, because reading is an active form of learning while watching TV is mostly passive.

Reading for pleasure, as an active method of knowledge acquisition, allows people to create and memorize concepts more clearly. Firstly, the text format pushes readers to purposefully, in their minds, convert words into unique images and sentences into motion pictures. For example, the Harry Potter series of novels have allowed fans to create and construct their representation of the wizard world that is filled with magic and spells. Many readers continue to dream up myriads of spin-off stories based on the characters after the final book. Secondly, the process of reading also allows people to learn better by letting people control their own pace of studying. One can pause at any moment to reread, review, absorb new information, and avoid getting overwhelmed. This ability to stop and ponder is particularly helpful when trying to familiarize oneself with a new language. Many studies have shown a strong linkage between time spent reading and vocabulary improvements.

Watching TV, on the other hand, does not have any of the aforementioned merits. Viewers can only watch the visualization that is given and predefined by TV programmes. Since no extra effort in thinking is needed, people who watch a lot of TV will most likely be lazy to conceptualize any originality in imagination. For example, if children grow up only watching the Lords of the Rings movies and not knowing the books, they will only have one way, and the same way, of describing a dwarf, an elf or a hobbit. Moreover, the languages used on TV are also mostly informal and straightforward, in tune with the needs to deliver information quickly. Therefore, while the listening skill is likely to improve after prolonged exposure to the TV, not much else can be developed, linguistically.

In conclusion, reading books is by far superior to watching TV in terms of creativity and language development because reading gives people total control of their minds. In a world flooded with information, the ability to control your thoughts is the key to improve oneself.
