Reading v.s Watching

When I was young, in my school days, I have been taught that reading is good. In addition, it improves our language and this is so true. When my English teacher told us to borrow only one book from a book room and read it for a week. All the books are in English, so that we can improve our English Language. We usually do things in Malay like writing and speaking but when it comes to education, English is needed. I started to like reading English books during that one time I borrowed Harry Potter’s books authored by J.K Rowlings. Honestly, I have been watching Harry Potter’s movies long before I borrowed their books.

So now, I want to clarify some things on reading book vs watching television. As we can see (that we know), most of the movies nowadays are adapted from novels. Especially English and Malay ones. Somehow, some people tend to ask why they create a movie from a novel.

Well for me, firstly, so that people can get into their feelings for the stories rather than reading from the books and second, the directors are lack of ideas what to shoot next, so they came up with an idea to create a movie from a book.

For myself, I love to read as well as watch television. Nowadays, I'm more into reading about histories of Islam and also facts about everything that connects with our lifes. That’s why I love to read that kind of books, so far though. However I still watch some movies and facts in television, I even watch discovery channel and news, though I also read news in the newspapers.

So in my case, I don’t know (or rather not really sure) whether I prefer reading or watching. But basically, I balanced them.

But I just want the world to know that, reading is important than watching television because it helps us to make our speaking and our mind going well more than watching the television. Why? Because Television has a lot of disadvantages, so please be careful. If we want to watch any adult’s movies, please mind your children, because their brains is always catching up with anything that they see and they easily follow them.

As from myself, never ever stop reading. Teach and make yourself read a lot of books (especially the one that you love). Watch good stories like histories and facts so that you learn some new things. As long that you never take the negative sides, unless you took the negative one and make it in a positive way.
