I agree with the statement that reading has an edge over TV as far as developing language skills and imagination is concerned. A number of arguments surround my opinion.

To begin with, reading books is better than watching television because it provides an active learning for learners while the latter is a passive one. Reading can greatly enhance people’s imagination. For example, the individuals make different images in their mind when they read some articles or sentences and then use their imagination to put the story together whereas the TV audience just passively accepts information from the TV screen.

What is more, reading can also contribute a lot to language skills. Reading begins the journey through one’s language development stages. Language is so much more than just letters and sounds. It is words, sentences, grammar, syntax, and most importantly, putting it all together for meaning. Reading weaves these complex and vital aspects of language development stages together. Reading opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for people. Reading and writing are important ways we use language to communicate.

On the other hand, watching television does not develop a person’s skills in high-level thinking, spelling, vocabulary or recognition of word. TV programmes focus more on pictures than on language. The quick change of visuals and the fast pace of the scenes causes the visuals to dominate the language. To add to it, the vocabulary of television is lower than nearly all forms of print, from comic books to children’s books and newspapers and magazines.

Finally, reading relaxes the body and calms the mind. This is an important point because people have forgotten how to relax and especially how to be silent. The constant movement, flashing lights and noise which bombard our senses when we’re watching TV are actually quite stressful for our brains. When we read, we read in silence and the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains.

To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that reading is undoubtedly better than TV not only in developing language skills and imagination but also in many other ways.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
