Reading books is better than watching TV

Reading books is better than watching TV. How many of you watch TV? No doubt all of you. It is so easy to just sit down and press a button and then waste away hours of your day.

 TV doesn’t simulate your brain and is quite bad for your eyes. Sure TV can entertain you for a while but reading can take you on an adventure, it makes you escape out if your body for a while and forget about all your problems. TV can’t do that.

 Say if you are doing an assignment for school and you have been working for hours without getting anywhere. Majority of you would watch TV for a while, while watching you will still be worrying about the assignment and by the time you get back to it you will be stressed. Reading a book will take you to another world and the assignment will not feel so big.

What about your eyes. In the modern day everything is done on computers and I know from experience that hours on a computer and then TV really hurts your eyes and you end up with a headache. Reading is still not a great thing to do in that circumstance, but it is still better than watching TV.

Some of you would be thinking about the important news on TV, but books can give that too. Newspapers contain sometimes more news than on TV.

And on top of that books are an excellent way to learn new vocabulary without you even knowing, that’s right, while reading books you involuntary learn new words and the spellings.

 TV is like a brain washing machine; it numbs your brain and fills it with useless knowledge, and what, books do give you knowledge? Of course they do, you want information go read an encyclopaedia.

There is nothing more satisfying than finishing a good book in fact I was reading one while doing this.

So there you go a million reasons why reading books is better than watching TV. I could have given you more but this book was just too enjoyable so I decided to stop here.
