I prefer watching movies to reading books because of two main reasons
The first one, through some movies, I can experience from feelings to another feeling.You just lie on the sofa and choose your favorite movies then enjoy it.
Secondly, watching movies in free time can help me relax and relive stress after tired working day.
So, I think watching movies is the best choice for me to entertain. -

Actually, I prefer watching movies to reading books. I’m quite busy with work so watching movies is better for me. I can watch and hear while I’m doing other things. It’s convenient. But reading books has many pros. It helps my mind feel relaxed.

I prefer books to movies. Watching a film takes more time than reading a book. If you want to enjoy watching a movie, you cannot go away until the movie ends.But a book has pages you can easily leaf through.
This makes it possible to read some pages while eating or simply sitting on the sofa. And it trains my brain when I need to remember what I had read before. -

When I was younger, I would answer that movies are more interesting and informative. But later I began to understand movies are an idea of the director of a film, it’s his variant of reading the book.That’s why there are often a lot of films made on one book. Besides some films may have traits of understanding the events described in a book which are values for the contemporary society. As for me now I often prefer reading the book as the original source.Thank You for interesting subjects for discussing.

Books are better competitively I feel, they can give us space to imagine intricate details.
