Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
参考分析：
同意或者不同意都是偏颇的，所以，要看情况。要看是小说的类型，电影创作的质量。
读小说特有的好处：阅读时间安排上自由；有足够的想象空间；文字的美感不可替代
看电影特有的好处：声像(combination of sound and image)结合带来独特的效果；往往浓缩在150分钟之内；优秀演员的演绎(the ability to create empathy)带来不同的理解(interpretation)。
有些东西是电影拍不出来的；
有些东西是小说写不出来的
所以，哪一个更好，不能一概而论。各有各的好处。
不同意，看电影更加有意思
（1）电影时间比较短，两个小时，能够集中精力；而看小说时间太长，容易枯燥
（2）电影有很多著名演员，而且用很多科学技术，这更加吸引人
（3）电影可以和朋友一起观看，和朋友在一起，总是最快乐的
参考范文：
Fiction vs. movies
Watching movies is a much better option compared to reading fiction. So I disagree that reading fiction is more enjoyable than watching movies. In fact movies provide a first hand experience with real emotions. Also movies can be watched with the company of others, thus making for healthy relationships.
Movies are generally much better received compared to novels or short stories. They tend to be much more exciting and surely provide real-time first hand experience. Reading fiction, more often than not, gives only vicarious pleasure.
Also movies are a much better option for real emotions. The scenes, physiognomy of characters and background music all add up to a great experience. Howsoever good a piece of fiction is, it leaves much to be desired. The way movies exhibit a wide gamut of emotions and experiences are difficult to find in fiction books.
Another major reason for movies being more enjoyable is that one can watch movies in company of others. No such sharing is possible in reading fiction. There is nothing like enjoying a movie with the person you love, or your family members, it provides the warmth to make for a pleasurable experience.
In conclusion, I derive much greater fun, joy and excitement from watching movies, than by reading fiction. According to me, movies will always hold the upper hand.
