GIẢI ĐỀ IELTS | SAMPLE WRITING TASK 2 – READING BOOKS OR WATCHING TV?

Some people believe that reading stories from a book is better than watching TV or playing computer games for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

SAMPLE
Nowadays, due to the popularity of technology and its adverse impact on children, many people argue that reading storybooks is more beneficial to children than watching TV programs or playing video games. This essay supports this position for the following reasons. 

Firstly, reading books can help children improve their academic achievements. Children reading books regularly are likely to have competent literacy skills, which is important for their study because schools often require students to comprehend a great deal of knowledge from reading various subjects’ content. Hence, being competent in literacy skills can provide children with an added advantage when completing their assignments. Children with an advantage in literacy skills tend to have higher results in school exams, because they not only have wider knowledge but also better reading and writing skills. 

More importantly, reading stories as a way of entertainment is instrumental in cultivating children’s creativity. In this technological world, when children depend too much on TV and computers in various life aspects, engrossing in books is an undeniably wonderful stress reliever to keep children away from electronic devices. Besides, reading books encourages children to use their imagination to comprehend the plots and characters of these stories, which in turn sharpens their creativity. For illustrations, when immersing into Harry Potter for relaxation, children have to use their creativity to fantasize and understand the magical world with the existence of many fictional characters such as witches, dragons, or monsters. 

In conclusion, I once again affirm that engaging in stories from books can bring more benefits for children than spending time on TV and video games, because children can gain both educational benefits and great joy when enjoying book stories.
