       题目：

       Some people believe that people who read books can develop more imagination and

       language skills than those who prefer to watch TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

       解析：

       2013年的第一次考试，关于读书和看电视的比较，看似不难，其实相当不易。这道题的本质是论证图像、声音和文字谁更能培养想象力和语言能力。

       一般人认为，文字比图像给人的想象空间更大。看电视比较消遣，被动地接受画面和声音，而看书的时候，会在脑子里visualize出各种画面，所以读书比看电视更能培养想象力。如果觉得有点抽象的话，可以用例子来说明，比如看到某段风景的描述，就会想象出一副画面。

       关于发展语言能力方面，当然也是读书更占优势，书面语言更正式也更丰富，而且看电视的时候大家都关注动作和图像了，忽视了语言。所以文章结论提出，看电视是一种很好的娱乐，但是仍然要鼓励大家多读书。

       范文：

       At the beginning, language skills, such as possessing a wide range of lexical resources, can be better learned through reading for pleasure than through watching TV for entertainment. At its best, television can be educational as well as entertaining, but nobody should wish to raise literacy levels by simply sitting in front of a TV box. So, it is only by reading can you enrich your vocabulary. However, it must be made clear that the link between literacy and reading is like comparing health to sport. One is something functional, the other is something you do because you enjoy it. That is to say, the more you enjoy reading, the more language skills you would obtain, independent of whether you like to watch TV or not.

The books that help you most in imagination are those which make you think the most. Such isan immense pleasure--that sort of pleasure which a cow must have in grazing. In this light,reading for pleasure, both paper-based and on-screen, is far more beneficial than watchingTV. For instance, there is always a book which is opened with expectation and closed withprofit: imagination. Unfortunately, some people's love of books is being ruined by television,which may be considered as a decline in thinking abilities. This is happening particularly toyoung people who seem to be shunning books in favour of TV; and, as a result, roughly 70percent of those questioned prefer watching TV to reading in their own time, according to anation-wide research.

On the whole, watching TV is largely harmless as an entertainment and information tool, butthere is no better way to enhance your language skills and imagination than reading forpleasure. For those who would continue to enjoy reading as much as, or more than watchingTV, there is a paradise not yet being lost. Having acquired an amount of language skills throughwide and deep reading, you might as well imagine that such a paradise would not be very unlikea kind of library.
