Writing: Opinion Essay: Reading stories vs watching films.

Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies.

Some people prefer to read fiction. However, others like to watch movies because they consider it is more enjoyable. For several reasons, I think each of these options has its advantages.
It is clear that reading fiction brings many benefits. First of all, a book can be taken anywhere one goes. For example, while travelling or just taking a bus one can read a book. Secondly, reading is essential for children as it extends one's vocabulary, improves reading and even writing skills. What is more, it enlarges their range of interests, improves their imagination and helps them gain more knowledge and experience through books.
On the other hand, watching movies has many benefits too. To start with, movies usually have more influence on people, their behaviour and mood. In addition, watching a movie in a movie theatre gives many advantages such as sound effects, a large screen, etc. Besides, it is a good way to relax with one's friends, eliminate stress and tension and just have a good time. Also, watching movie takes less time than reading the whole book in most of the cases.
In conclusion, I think that there is no doubt that watching a movie is more enjoyable and impressive than reading a book. Nevertheless, reading a book brings more benefits for people in general. Moreover, children should spend more time reading books than watching different kinds of movies because scientists say that watching movies has much less use for the growing child.
